Lode wirt,s Abductors Released.

SPOKANE FALLS, May 49, Especial. barney
Brooks and wife, charged with the abduction OF
Lodie Writ, young girl who arrived here from
Philadelphia last January, en- route to Wardner.
Idaho, to join her aunt, were today released on
their own recognizance. When Brooks and his
wife were brought into the courtroom today,
Prosecutor Allen said he felt that public justice
demanded that somebody be punished
for tho crime, but he felt more
like letting the Brookses go on their
own recognizance rather than send them to
trial before Tom Parker, who he believed was
the main offender and chief instigator of the
whole matter. since he was the one charged
with violating Miss Wirt's person, he thought
it would be the means OF defeating public justice
TO try him last This disposition of the case
against the Brooks people is looked upon as a
virtual dismissal of the action against them.
Parker lie somewhere in Idaho, and 1t is believed
he means to jump his bonds rather than to re-
turn and stand trial.

WOLF, CHIEF OF THE cAYUsKs.
He Wraps His Blanket Like Roman
Toga-Old Homily's Successor.

Spokane Review.
Wolf is the chief of about thirty families of
Cayuse Indians, who, not restricted to reserva-
tion dwell during the greater part of the year in
the ravines and on the islands OF the lower
Snake river. These thirty households are all
that remain of this once proud and powerful
tribe which roamed over the Walla Walla valley,
and for so many years hindered its settlement.
Horse-rscing, hunting, fishing and root-digging
are their only means of livelihood, and they are
as primitive as when DR.. Whitman first settled
at Waiilatpu. They are truly nomads, following
the run of salmon and the range OF game. As
their wealth consists chiefly in horses, their
changes of residence are easily effected and they
take all their property with them. One family
can generally transport all its effects on the
backs of four ponies. Wolf is q typical Indian.
In person he is large, heavily built man,
about S feet 10 inches in height, and
weighing at least 200 pounds. His fea-
lures are prominent, with FORE
head OF unusual fullness for one of his race.
His eyes are black and expressive. His black,
coarse hair hangs in long, straight tresses over
his shoulders. His dress is gorgeous. His tur-
ban, made from fox-skin, is ingeniously ar
ranged with an adjustable fore-pieee for shading
the ewes, while the pelt, hanging down, almost
covers his back, and the long and shaggy tail
bangles at his waist. He generally wears a
snowy striped blanket, wound around the body
like Roman toga. His lower limbs are rugged
in mecassins, breech-clout and feathered leg
gins. In nature he is lively, laxative and ever
ready for q laugh. He has as keen perception
of the ridiculous as the professional humorist.
Yet with all this tendency to leyity he is dig
nifed and never permits himself to become
indiscreet in his actions or expressions. He is
one of the few of his complexion who refuse to
unseat their reason by the white mans Sire
water" For fifty years this American Arab has
roamed over the Columbia basin. What won
derful changes have taken place before his eyes!
