from other members on the Republican
side that this Legislature will not ap-
propriats money 70 complete this in

engaged in it and would get the benefit
OF a part Of the appropriation. If the

announced for Monday evening,
but the service was failure. /
may as we'll tell you the reason.
''For three years, Winnomsnoot,
father of chief Peo, of the Umatil-
las, had won the annual horse races
with his fast runner, and this year
the white men determined to beat
him. Sending to Portland they
procured a very fast running horse,
supposed to be able to beat any
horse in Eastern Oregon. The
Portland horse was smuggled into
Pendleton and nothing said. The
Sunday came for the races. The
white men bet every dollar they
could find on their important rum
ner, and someone stole TO Winnom-
snoot's tepee and gave the run
ming horse. which was standing
tied behind it, an opium pill. Then
they bet their coats and saddle
horses and saddles and rifles and
pistols against the Indians person
al effects and the time came for the
race. At the appointed hour, Win
nomsnoot threw back the flap of
bis tepee, and there was brought
out a superb specimen of running
stock which all the time had been
safely hid from view. The horse
won every race, and when the
whites came home they had no
money and not even coats to wear
to church.
"I learned all these facts in due
time and understood why my Mon
day evening service was SO slimly
| attended by the men. They had
tried to outwit old Winnomsnoot
and had themselves been outwit-
ted.
"Those men were not churchmen,
but" said Bishop Wells, they
were generous hearted and kind to
lme and gave literally to the sup
port of the young parish and the
building of the church building.
TN this connection | will relate
a strange coincidence. Many years
afterwards, / attended a banquet
at the Windsor hotel in Now York
city and related the story Of the
| Sunday horserace. AS took my
seat, gentleman arose from seat
at table OH the opposite side Of
the room and exclaimed: II was
at that horserace and / have now
on my stock farm in Kentucky
horse bread from that mare witt
which Winnomsnoot won the race
My father was General ButterhelC
and he was stationed in that vicin
ity when the great race took place.
