HOKE SMITH PETITIONED
Citizens Ask That the Indians
Be Returned to Their
Reservation.
REDS IN DRUNKEN ORGIES.
Able at All Times to Secure Fire.
Water From Their White
Brethren.

HEALDSBURG, CAL, Sept. l. The
residents of northern Sonoma County have
at last become tired of the constant war
fare among the Indians living in this Sec
ton and propose to abate the nuisance.
Chief Charley, who rules the redmen
living here, and all his followers are adj
dicted to the use of intoxicating beverages.
There is law on the statutes which makes
it felony to furnish or sell to an Indian
any intoxicating liquor; still they have
no difficulty in securing all they want.
The officers believed that if a few ar
rests and convictions were had the white
men who give their red brothers liquor
would desist. This proved a fallacious
theory, however, for in the last twelve
months sixteen persons were arrested for
the offense, and twelve of these are now
doing time in San Quentin, but the In
dams still get all the wine they want, and
the annoyance caused thereby continues.
About 300 of the natives reside in this
district. They work on farms and secure
money enough to purchase the little they
require for sustenance, using the surplus
for ''hrewater.' Their proper place is on
the reservation in Round Valley, where
their keeping, and to secure their return
to the reservation a petition has been
drawn up as follows:
To the Honorable the Secretary of the Int
rior-SIR: We the undersigned citizens of the
County of Sonoma, State of California, do
hereby represent and show to your Excellency
that there are large number of
Indians belonging and accredited to
the Round Valley Indian Reservation
of this State, roaming about in the
county of Sonoma, principally in the Russian
River, Dry Creek and Alexander valleys; that
all of said Indians are addicted to drunken
ness and when intoxicated are very disorderly
and quarrelsome; that murders and assaults
have become so frequent as to be an unbear-
able burden, both on account OF the great
expense to the county and the menace to
society.
Wherefore, we do hereby petition and pray
that all of said Indians be removed at once to
their reservation in Round Valley and that
proper measures be taken to keep them there.
The petition is being unanimously
signed, and when sent to the Secretary of
the Interior will contain the signature of
every taxpayer in the northern end of
Sonoma.
A CALL representative interviewed Cap
tain Charley this morning. The chief and
eight or ten of his followers were in town
holding high carnival with watermelons.
The old fellow shifted at the petition. Said
he:
"Me no care what people here say. I
live In this country long time-forty, fifty
moons. 1 not go to reservation. Too
much work; too much hot; no fish; no
circus; no wine; no fun"

Opening.
HEALDSBURG, CAL, Sept. Twenty
carpenters are working long hours on the
big addition to the association winery at
Windsor in order that everything may be
in readiness for the winemaking season,
which is now only two. weeks away. A
large force is also at work on the Hotch-
kiss & Miller cellar in the same place and
fifteen carpenters are putting the finishing
touches to the new winery being built in
Alexander Valley. The completion of
these three cellars increases the capacity
for making wine nearly 600,00 gallons.
A CALL representative, in conversation
with S. L. Osborn, one of the most extern
sive growers in the county, was to-day in
formed that the crop would be much
lighter than usual, probably not over two
thirds of last seasons yield. While the
ruling prices paid are $40 for white grapes
and $12 for zinfandels and other of the bet
ter varieties, as high as SIS per ton has
been paid in some instances.
