OF Oregon will at once be supplied with
funds whereby to engage sufficient cleri-
cal aid to complete the office work made
necessary In the unatilla reservation

ing the work of the office, such ns pre-
pairing plsts and field notes, is the order
Of the department requiring that as
soon ar any township survey Is COM
pleted In the field the office
may com mence the necessary work up

route TO Washington for approval with.

Reichelderfer, who was II years OF
age, was for many years sufferer from
Brights disease. His condition became
worse, and losing patience he cut his
throat, hoping to terminate his misery
in death. lie slashed his neck from
ear to ear in shocking manner, twice
drawing the sharp blade of u razor
across it, succeeding IN severing the
larynx and 9sophagus, but not the
jugular vein.
The wounds though were of such a
nature that no tube could be inserted
for the transmission of food and water
and it was apparent from the first that
his injuries must prove fatal. The
physician attempted to insert a tube
into the stomach and pass the food di
rect, but soon ascertained that food
thus received would produce nauseau
and cause vomiting. which, in tho pa
tents necessarily feeble condition.
would result in death at once. Reichel
derfer breathed through the wound in
his throat but had not taken u particle
OF nouriShment or water since tho day
he used the razor with such CHASTITY
effect.
His case has attracted the notice Of
physicians not from the patients ten

his attempt Mt self-destruction the pain
incident to his malady left him and he
would have rested easily but TO: the
fact that his limbs became swollen to
almost twice their natural size. Grad

SO much trouble that last week he had

Thd prisoner is uncommunicative,
although she said that it was her inten-
tion when she first came here to have

that the offence, If any was committed,
was done in Chicago.

not make reparation she would try to
right the wrong herself
She says that she did not care wheth-
er Firth lived with her or not, but she
wanted a marriage ceremony so as to
protect the name of her unborn child.
Firth says that the prisoner knew him
to be married man, but this assertion
Mrs. Warnicke emphatically denies;
that their intimacy was in the nature
of Il business transaction, and that he
gave her money every time he saw her.
Firth is not by any means out of
danger DR.. Finder states there is a
possibility of meningitis. The occipital
bone is fractured and drainage tube
has been placed in the wound.
