Those Trout.

There were several Of our young
bloods who went on a fishing ex-
cursion on last Sunday to the
Umatilla River who had very fair
success in the size of their fish but
the number of their catch was very
limited, but this did not dampen
their ardor at all as they report
very good time all around, and,
judging by the size of their lard
er when they left town and the
difference on returning, they were
good hearty eaters. They report
that they accidently ran across
a couple of young men also from
town who were calculating on
catching some minnows for a days
good fishing, evidently at some
other place. but for some reason
they abandoned the said trip and
concluded that they would
ret urn home and call the result
Of their mornings work, trout; and
they reported that they had caught
15O large trout, and, when in the
course Of their conversation they
accidently let the top Of theil
basket get opened. they were as
tonished that such Sports" a
they claimed to be would hav'
the audacity to call such minnow
as they really were nice trout
for there was only one in sight tina
would have measured more thai
two or two and half inches long

convenes August 2S, a. month
earlier than usual. At the Office
checking up has been industriously

is ready to go on the roll. In order
to form some idea Of the result
Of the assessment, Mr.. Brannln
added the assessment Of 100 tax
payers, taken alphabetically, IN
Alta and Mckay precincts. Very
little increase in valuation Is
shown, but the 100 men will this

amounts to about $4,000. This

lNDIANe' WAR n

GREY HORSE. Oklahoma, Oct. 10, 1S93.-
On a high plateau some miles east of here
the Usage warriors are holding their an
nual war dance and have been joined by
about 300 Cheyennes under Yellow Bear
and several hundred Poncas and Otoes.
They have been dancing now for four days
and nights without intermissi n and will
keep it up for ten days or more, after
which they will hold a grand feast. All
the unruly Indians in the territory are
present at the dance and it is feared they
will make mischief. The Usage agent has
ordered them to stop the dance, but they
pay no attention to him, and as all are
armed, any attempt to stop the dance by
force would result in bloodshed. The
troops on the Cherokee Strip have been
ordered to be in readiness to move into
the reservation should the Indians make
attempt to make trouble.
