valuable properties in that locality had
not the means to do SO himself. About
six months ago the following capital.
lists of The Dalles became interested in
the property: Hon. Malcolm A..
Moody, J. NJ. French, j. b. Mclnerny

practical mining engineer who had had
experience in this character OF work,
and had thorough inspection of the
properties made. The result was that
they formed company giving the
owner of the land half interest in

they agreed to furnish all the money
necessary. They purchased machinery

most OF it has arrived and been set up.

Northwest, and at u price very much

Smith, aged seventy years, of Wolfesville,

in a few days.
1t is understood from good authority that
the State chemist. Prof William p. Ton
ry. of Baltimore. who has been conducting
an analysis of the stomach and other or
gans of the body, has found no trace of any
poison.
A small clot OF blood is said to have been
found upon the brain by the chemist. but
this was discovered by DR.. l. J. McCurdy
when he conducted an autopsy. after hav
ing the body exhumed on February 20.
This clot. it is said. could have been caus-
ed by a rupture of blood vessel produced
by concussion from various natural causes,
and of itself was sufficient to produce
death
At the preliminary hearing held at
Wolfesville when the body was exhumed
DR.. Louis Lamar in his testimony said:
Il am of the opinion that Mrs. Smiths
death was due to hemorrhage of the brain,
caused by the strain of excessive vomiting,
and, further. this opinion is strongly
strengthened, and. in fact, confirmed, by
the appearance of the brain of the dead at
woman which | have just seem
Dr.. McCurdy said that the clot of blood
upon the brain could have been the result
of many natural causes. Il examined the
head and body carefully he said. but
found no signs of any bruises or cuts on
the head indicating that blow might have
been struck. and | am satisfied the clot of
blood on the brain was not produced by
blow.

which is the natural result of persons in
good health dying suddenly, and the blood

to have greatly alarmed the people and
gave rise to various reports. Together

their homes in the Rosebud Agency, South
Dakota. These Indians bear the names Of
Hollow Horn Bear, Ruben Ranch Bear
Good Voice. William Spotted Tail, and
Raining Thunder. They were here for the
purpose of holding a consultation with
Commissioner Jones in reference to mat
tiers pertaining to the tribe. While in the
city they lived at the house of Charles G.

John Eastman an intelligent Sioux who

escorted the delegation wherever ii went,
and acted as interpreter when necessary
He speaks f1uently the Sioux and English
languages He was of great assistance to
the Indians and helped make their stay IN
the city an enjoyable one.
Tuesday morning the Indians were heard
by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs IN
his Office at the Interior Department. The
Sioux came attired in modern costumes but
many characteristics of their race showed
plainly in their actions.
Commissioner Jones ana Mr., Eastman
this morning told a reporter from the
Times that the Indians had two grievances
which they desired to have attended to.
The first case was as follows: At their
agency in South Dakota. the Indians pur-
chase all of the beef which they use from
the Government. By a treaty formulated
fifteen years ago the price which they pay
is $1.50 for the dressed beef in a single
head OF cattle or $3.50 for the undressed
meat In the year 1890 this custom was
done away with to a certain extent and
live cattle were sold to the Indians, who
would kill them and take the meat, be-
sides the hides and other parts. AS they
did not pay for the hides and made much
trouble in the division Of the meat, the
Commissioner stopped this practice and
forced them to give up the hides TO the
Government. Objections were made TO
this plan and again a change was made,
the Government selling the hides and Civ
ing the proceeds to the Indians. The Sioux

al Rosebud do not like this arrangement
and desire TO have it changed.
The second case the delegation presented
was OF considerable importance. The In
dians claim that they cannot find out the
valuation Of reservation land near Rose
bud
The Commissioner and MIR Eastman said
that this delegation did not present any
claims for suffrage for their people, al
though none of the Indians near Rosebud
vote. However. they said that Indians by
declaring their intention Of becoming citi-
zens Of the United States would be allowed
to vote. The Commissioner stated that
nearly 5000 Indians of the Sioux tribe, liv-
ing within and without the reservation,
are voters.
II is thought at the Indian Office that
efforts will be made during this session of
Congress TO secure suffrage for all Indians
in the United States. A bill will probably
be introduced in the House providing for
Indian suffrage
A delegation of six Pawnee Indians from
Oklahoma Territory has arrived in this
city, and are stopping at Mr.. Beveridge

or says: The company has persistently
neglected and has recently refused to car
ry out this contract. although it has dur
ing this whole period continuously used

great detriment of public travel The
matter went TO the ordinance committee.
Indications point to a protracted fight,

the mayors message that the company had
refused to carry out its contract. He says
the company cannot know where to build
the bridge until a grade for Market Street
is adopted by the city, and that Mayor
Kean had positively notified him not to
do anything toward erecting the bridge.
