The Indians Meet Cali
fOrnianS and De-
feat Them
A Fine Game Of Clean Foot
ball, Played Fair and
for All There
Was In II

The best football game Of the sea-
son was played here yesterday after
noon, when the AllCalifornia team,
under the name of Reliance, met the
Chemawa Indian team on the William
ette field, and the Indians won the con
test, after one of the bestplayed games
ever seen in Salem. The teams were
not evenly matched as regards weight,
for the Reliance men weighed an av-
erage of 10 pounds, and the Indians
average weight was only 152 pounds.
The best players for the Indians were
Foster, Sanders, Moon and Harris,
while for the Reliance, Hamilton,
Smock and Goschen played well.
Chemawa kicked off, sending the
ball to the 25-yard line, where Reli-
ance stopped It, and from then on be-
gan O battle, the Californians pushing
the Indians steadily back, until final
ly, after a desperate struggle, they
pushed the ball over the Indians goal
line, but here they lost the ball on a
tumble. and Chemawa secured 1t and
scored touchback, the Indians thus
saving themselves, and preventing the
Reliance from scoring touchdown.
The Indians having the ball, at once
began to advance on the Californians,
and soon sent the ball toward the 9th
er end Of the field, and on punt the

Reliance fumbled, but securing the
ball began to batter the Indian line.
This was hopeless, however, for they
lost the ball on downs. and Chemawa
punted, sending the ball to the 5-yard
line. Here California made a desper-
ate effort to regain their ground, and
on punt gained some yardage, but
Harris catching the ball on the run,
one of the prcttiest plays of the game,
advanced it into the California terri
tory, and the Indian quarterback sent
it over the line, where Saunders
caught it and scored a touchdown.
Saunders kicked goal, and the score
stood to o.
Reliance kicked on, and sent the
ball far into the Chemawa territory,
but the Indians secured the ball and
carried It back, when the Californians
again got the pigslSin, and, on a fake
play, gained a big advantage, carrying
It fully 35 yards, and when time was
called for the first half, the ball died
in the Indians territory.
In the second half Reliance kicked
off, but Chemawa secured the ball,
and began to advance at once into the
Reliance territory, and, after hot
fight, pushed the ball to the line,
Green finally carrying it over, amid
the widest enthusiasm. Sanders
kicked for goal, but missed, and the
game stood IL to 0.
Chemawa kicked off for the second
time, and the battle waged in Callfor-
MAS territory, and the ball was final.
ly kicked over in the direction of Tea
bo, Chemawa's quarterback, who
made the sensational play of the day
for he caught the ball, and started
down the field with It. A burly Cali.
fornian met him and attempted to
tackle the little Indian, but Teabo,
leaping high in the air, sprang clear
over the Reliance player, and, lighting

cleared another California player with
a bound, but was tackled and dropped
to the ground hugging the ball to
his breast. After a sharp fight, the
Indians finally succeeded in kicking
the ball over the line, but the Califor
nians secured it, and sent it back over
the line. Chemawa again made an ef-
fort to carry the ball over the goal
line, and finally scored another touch
down, but failed OF a goal kick, and
the score stood 16 to in favor of the
Chemawa Indians when time was
called.
The game was entirely devoid Of
"ragglng," and was enjoyed by large
crowd. 1t was a splendid exhibition

ASKS. NO INSTRUCTIONS
Judge West Willing to Have
UnpIedged Delegation.

It is reported that ]. G. SIonecker
Will announce his candidacy for justice
of the supreme court, and will ask for
an instructed delegation from Shawnee
county for him This means that he
will ask that George H. Whitcomb and
Judge ]. S. West be turned down in
his favor.
Judge West says that so far as he
is concerned he does not care for q
fight in Shawnee county. although he
has been repeatedly assured by leading
Republicans and members OF the bar
that Shawnee county is ready TO back
him
He says that he is personally friendly
TO the other candidates. and that he is
willing to have an uninStructed delega-
ton go to Wichita with the under
standing that it shall be for the home
candidate who can show the strength
and stands the best chance to win
against Justice Atkinson, the present
ker City, who will be the other leading
candidates.
If Judge Slonecker or Mr.. Whit
comb can secure more strength IN the
convention than I can, I am willing
one of them should have the Shawnee
delegation" said Judge West today.
But if it should turn out that I can
get the best outside support, would
want the delegation. The man who de-
feats Atkinson and Smith will need to
have good backing, and the Shawnee
delegation ought not to go tied up &c
any candidate who would not have
much of show in the convention, SO
am willing to leave the Shawnee dele
cation uninstructed until it is appar-
ent which of the local candidates has

WHAT TO Do WITH DOGS.
That Is the Question Now Before
Board of County Commissioners.

Dogs are likely to hold the attention
OF the county commissioners and the
city council in Oakland.
Suddenly the canine proposition has
come to the front to demand attention.
The Oakland city council intends to
place a tax OF 81 and 81 on dogs in
order TO decrease the number in Oak
land It is said by the Oakland author
tiles that many people in Topeka send
their dogs to Oakland to escape paying
the tax on them in Topeka. AS a re-
suit Oakland is a dumping ground for
dogs.
The county commissioners are look
ing for a means of bringing in more
revenue from the county poor farm.
There is some rough ground and some
that is dotted with brush on the poor
farm and the commissioners have
thought that so or 40 sheep would do
we'll on the ground and bring in reve-
nue. from the clip and also as meat.
Il believe that farmers would do we'll
with sheep and We could make them
profitable on the poor farm if it were
not for the dogs and wolves killing
them" said Commissioner Haynes this
morning I have always thought that
the farmers in Shawnee county would
raise more sheep, now that they are
profitable, If it were not for the hun
dreds of dogs. In eastern states the
townships place a tax on dogs and that
tax goes into a fund which is used to
pay the losses sustained by sheep own
ers from Cogs and wolves killing the
sheep"
