THE UMATILLA INDIANS.
Eject OF the Decision That Declares
Them Citizens.

Pendietcn, Or. March io.-umatilla
county had an addition TO its citizenship
OF 1000 Indians yesterday. when Judge
Fee r.eSaared his decision. The effect Of
this decision. II sustained by the higher
courts. will be TO remove all restrictions
from the Umatiiia Indians. except IN
handling their lands. which were allotted
under condition.
The Indian chiefs who have been under
arrest for defying the authority of the
Indian court were Immediately released
and a council called at Young Chiefs
camp. fifteen miles above the agency, OF
all the Indians, to consider matters.
Near the agency Capt. Richards camped
with $rocp ID, Fourth cavalry, from Fort
walla Walla, accoutered for heavy ser
vice. Agent Harper said: II called for
the troops because Judge Fees decision
removes all my authority over the In
dams. No power now exists TO prevent
the Indians becoming intoxicated and en-
dangering the lives Of ali on the reserva-
ton. They are now free TO follow their
natural tnclinations and drift back to saw
agery."
This radical change In tine :ei-tions OF
the Indians to the people of this county
renders some citizens timid- There are
expressions of fear that dire results may
follow. The Indian agent under the new
regime can merely rent the Indian lands
10 whites. The Indian court Is done away
with. the Indian policemen are discharged
and the state courts have complete and
sole jurisdiction.

tious. About week ago Detective Phil
brick got into the club rooms alone and
Charley Shaw, the proprietor, said to the
other men at the table something about
playing a Jack high Philbrick was
satisfied the game was draw poker, but
did not think he could win his case In
court. so let it go. Yesterday he went up
again, accompanied by Detective Hart.
There was a new man at the door. and
before he knew what had happened, Phil
brick and Hart were in the rooms. The
four men at the table tried to hide poker
chips in their clothes. on the chairs under
them and In fact acted so peculiarly for
men engaged in an innocent game that
Philbrick thought the scene quite ridicu-
lous. One OF the players tried to appear
serious. and said:
..WelI, can't we play seven upg"
'.Not unless you've got a jack high"
replied Philbrick, with sardonic grin.
The players were taken to headquarters
and subsequently released on SIS cash
bail each. Shaw, the proprietor OF the
game put UP $50 cash bail.
There were two loads of handsome fur
niture taken out of the rooms. This Is
the same furniture that caused so much
trouble in the municipal court several
weeks ago, when. Shaw won his case
against the police.

THE BURGLAR BOY
Detective PhiIbrick's Long
Chase After Badge 81.
A STOLEN WITCH RECOVERED.
Harry England confesaes Robbing the
Room OF Miss Leonard White
She slept. -
A STOLEN WITCH RECOVERED

Through clever detective work on the
part OF GIL Phi1brick another grand lar
ceny. possibly burglary case. has been
solved and the guilty party lodged in the
city jail. Chief of Police Rogers had
pleasant conversation with the prisoner
last evening and as a result he has full
confession in addition to the stolen goods
About week ago sneak thief entered
the sleeping room Of Miss A. c.. Leonard
at 221 Columbia street and while the oc-
cupant was asleep stole from . table a
gold watch and 81 II cash. The matter
was reported to the police and Detective
Philbrick was detailed to work up the
case. BY diligent search he discovered
the watch in a pawn shop where it had
been pledged for g. although Ii was we'll
worth $50. The detective found out that
the person who brought in the watch was
a boy and that he had q messenger badge
numbered q.
The ingenuity displayed by the boy in
dealing with the broker was evident from
the beginning. First he came in with a
note, supposed to be from a woman. he
representing the messenger, in which it
was stated that she wanted $12 on the
watch. The broker would not give more
than S. so the boy went out and soon
came back with another note In which
1t was said the sum Of IS was entirely too
low. Finally as a compromise the boy
took So.
Philbrick went after messenger No. q
and then discovered that that badge was
a stolen one. and every time he got a boy
with it on, he had the wrong boy. There
seemed to be sort OF a circle among the
messenger boys in which that badge tray
eied. After running down six boys PhilbriclS
finally got hold of Harry England, aged IL
years. and the pawnbroker recognized
him.
The boy had nothing to say for awhile
but last evening told the whole story to
Chief Rogers and promised to return a
small fob chain which was attached to
the watch.
The chief has not placed any charge
against the boy, as II Is not certain
whether he should be tried for burglary
or grand larceny.
England is nothing more than what is
commonly termed a 'fiy kid"
