warm, and a more delightful pace for an

East Oregonian: An old Indian woman
was found Thursday in sad condition
from age and sickness at chief Peo's place |
on the Umatilla reservation. She was living
in woodshed, almost unable to move, and |
had had little or nothing to eat, no provsi- |
ions having been left for her in Peo's house. |
Dumplings manufactured from -four and |
water seem to have been her only diet Peo |
left the place week ago for the Yakima |
country. As the old woman is his mother |
it would seem that he had been guilty of |
conduct unbecoming his rank and dignity. |

vicinity which may be chosen. That club
must glory in defeat more than others do in
victory. During the hose tournament at

ing defeat, both from Oregon City and the
Ocal nine, and now they are desirous of

Joseph Simon, of Portland, as referee. to
AXE testimony, and clothed him with
authority to hold referee court anywhere
