Nesmith used to tell his friends of
his having accepted an invitation to
dine with jeremiah S. Black. The
exigencies of his life in Oregon
demanded evening dress for the old
fashioned long tailed, double breasted,
broadcloth frock was the very summit
of the fashion. But Washington was
different, so the Senator placed a hur-
ry order for a dress suit. 1t arrived
just in time, and with his stalwart form
incased in it he hurried to the home
of the distinguished Pennsylvania.
The servant showed him into the draw
ing room and took his card. Nesmith
seated himself and waited for some
time.
Finally Mr.. Black appeared arrayed
in a dressing gown and slippers. The
twain entered into conversation and
conversed and conversed and convers-
ed. Seven o'clock struck then eight,
then nine, then ten. By this time
Nesmith was thoroughly acquainted
with the history Of Pennsylvania from
the time of William Penn, and Black
was possessed of all the details of the
Lewis and Clark expedition,
Shortly after ten o'clock Black arose
and said, You will have to excuse me
Senator, for 1 have an appointment
with a lady"
Il wondered" said Nesmith, when
dinner would be ready, and 1 wondered
more what kind of a lady it was that
Black had an appointment with at that
hour" But the situation was fully ex-
planned to me when Black added, You
will not forget Senator our dinner party
tomorrow night"

A bumptious constituent seeing
Nesmith conversing with gentleman
on Pennsylvania avenue, and being un-
mindful of the proprieties of the occa-
sion slapped the Senator on the back
and exclaimed, 81 say, Mes, If I had
your cheek I would get any office in
this government Nesmith replied
with dignity, You are mistaken, Sir,
If you had what you call my cheek
with your limited amount of brains,
you would get kicked down Pennsyl-
vania Avenue every day in the week"

Jake Smith was litigious butcher

Jake bristled into the attorneys Office.

Is there an Oregonian of the vintage
of 1850, who will fail to recollect Sena-
tor j. w. Nesmith? His crisp, compact,
sententious speeches, his breezy style
of address, and his caustic wit will be
long remembered by his colleagues of
what is now "the millionaires club"
Shortly after his election to the United
States Senate New England Senator
approached him in the cloak room
where he was enjoying an after-lunch
cigar and patronizingly inquired, well,
Brother Nesmith. how does it feel to be
a Senator of the United States?'

was employed by a gentleman named
Shirley in cattle case. Among the
idiosyncrasies of Oregon legislation
there is or was a law by which a
grand jury consisted of only five mem
bers and three of them could find an in
dictment. It was doubtless intended
to prevent shooting scraps among cat
tie owners. When there was a quar-
rel the disputants instead of shooting
each other would have each other in
dicted for stealing steers. There was
seldom conviction, but the prosecut-
ing witness could put his enemy to the
cost and vexation of a trial, and enjoy
the roasting which his victim would re-
ceive from the lips of the lawyers. My
client. who was one of the wealthiest
cattle owners in Eastern Oregon, was
absent in the east at the time the other
mans steer strayed into the Shirley
herd, but an indictment was found.

defense. While we were preparing for
trial the Jail and court house at Baker
City was destroyed by fire and the in
dictment was burned. It's place aid
not be supplied and the grand jury had
been discharged. The next evening
shortly after the arrival of the train
from Portland Shirley came over to
the hotel, livid with rage, bringing with
him a copy of the evening Oregonian.
In the press dispatches was a special
from Baker City, saying, THE court
house was destroyed by fire last night

the Oregonian, and every paper on the
coast that contained the para graph for

editors. He quieted down, however,

NEWSPAPER MAN WILL
EXAMINE INDIANS
Francis E. Leupp Named to hives
tigate Alleged Land Frauds.

Francis E. Leupp. a newspaper cor
respondent, has been appointed by the
President a special commissioner to
visit Kiowa and Comanche Indian res
ervations in Oklahoma and investigate
charge of fraud IN connection with the
individual allotments OF land to the
Indians. Mr.. Leupp's appointment is
the result Of q memorial which was pre-
sented 10 Congress at the last session
alleging that gross frauds were com
mItted In the allotments.
1t was claimed that lands were al
loted TO Indians long since dead and
that even fictitious Indians were made
the recipients of Government real es-
tate. Indian Commissioner Jones said
this morning that no new information
had recently been received by his ONCE
and that the appointment was not the
result OF sudden exposure, but had
long been contemplated. So far as
known, the alleged frauds were confined
TO the KiOwa and Comanche reserva-
tions and nothing OF the sort was de-
tected among the allotments elsewhere.
Indian Inspector Nessler and Major
j. F.Randlett were mentioned as con-
nected with the alleged frauds, but II has
not been shown how they profted II the
rolls were padded. II will be one OF
Nr. Leupp's duties to answer this Dues
tion.
