Remains OF Murdered Indian at Sumner.

TACOMA, Jan. 4.-[Special. The skele-
tons of man and dog, found at Mead's
anch, near Sumner, Thursday night, were
inspected this afternoon by Coroner Frank,
of this city. The skeletons were nearly
dry. The shape of the skull of the human
skeleton indicates that of an Indian. The
skull is crushed. and the coroner is of the
opinion that the man was murdered three
years ago. The supposition is that Indians
returning east of the mountains fought at
the ranch, which was q rendezvous for
hop-pickers, and that the unfortunate man
was killed by blow with a club and the
faithful dog starved by the side of his MUIR
dered master. The remains of the human
skeleton were buried in the poor farm at

The Portland Orcgonian today contains
sensational article of column in which it
processes TO outline the plan of investiga-
tion TO be pursued by friends of Judge
Calkins, in exposing the alleged methods
of bribery and corruption used by Squire's
managers during the senatorial campaign.
The Calkins men, so this article declares,
are getting ready TO spring mine that
will rock the state from the Pacific ocean
to the Idaho state line and from British
Columbia to the Columbia river"
This includes pretty much the whole
state The other day Senator Owings had
an investigating committee appointed in
accordance with resolution introduced by
him. with general instructions to look into
the charges of bribery then so current in
the newspapers. The committee consists
of Owings, Vestal and Drum. 1t may be
that Mr.. 0wings, at the time he introduced
the resolution, had a vague idea that he
would in some way get back at the
Squire people with a bribery exposure out
riyaling even the sensational Metcalfe
episode 1t may also I've that he really be-
lieved that he might frighten the Squire
men, and find out there was something in
the himsy charges made by the Tacoma
papers against the Squire papers. 1t may
also be that Mr.. Owings' resolution was
simply bluff, and that be had no real IN
tention of making serious inquiries about
the doodle stories. This was
the view sensible people, who know
Mr.. Owings, took. of Fthe resolu-
ton, and the matter was dismissed from
their minds with other idle talk so gen
orally INDUCED in during and immedi-
ately after the campaign. 1t is possible
now, however, since the matter has reached
the newspapers, that Mr.. Owings commit
tee may think it necessary 10 do some
thing, and may attempt TO hold meetings
and summon witnesses and seriously ex-
anime into the great mass Of silly rlImors,
in hope that something may turn up. The
denouement will he awaited with interest.
