Sheepherder Shot at While on Duty in
Wheeler County.
The scene of the range war between
cattlemen and sheepmen has been trans
ferred to Wheeler county. Last Sum-
day a band of sheep were attacked by
three masked men on the summit be-
tween Spray and Lone Rock, about 3
miles west of the George Robinson
place.
The sheep, however, we're not injured,
as the herder was the target of the out
laws who emerged from the woods
heavily masked and when about GO
yards distant opened fire on the herder,
who escaped without serious injury, al
though his clothing was pierced in two
places by the leaden messengers. The
outlaws then retreated to the woods
where they had left their horses and
made their escape.
The sheep belonged to Nat Wallace
of Arlington, who was on his way to tie
Greenhorn mountains for summer range.

SUI AT AGENCY FOR
SEVEN YEARS.
Forced to Retire Because of Poor
Health Nothing Is Known as
to His Successor.

Charles W. Wilkins, who for the past
years has been in charge of the In
dams of the Umatilla reservation, has
forwarded his resignation to the interior
department, and on July ! will step out
of his present position into private life.
Mr.. Wilkins is taking this step on ac-
count of his health, and will engage in
business more suitable to his condition.
Mr.. Wilkins is one Of the old-time
residents of the county, having come
here about 20 years ago. He was con-
nected with the East Oregopian for
some years, and later edited the Pendle-
ton Tribune for while.
In 1897 Mr.. Wilkins made an applica-
ton for the position of postmasters OF
Pendleton, but failed to get the appoint
ment, and was offered the appointment
of Indian agent by President Mckinley.
He accepted the proposition, and about
81 years ago the Office Of superintend-
ent of the reservation and agency was
created and put under civil service. Mr..
Wilkins went to Washington and salts
fed the authorities of his fitness fol the
place under civil service regulations,
and has since that time held the posi-
ton. He was recommended for appoint
ment in 1897 by Congressman w. r.
Ellis and Thomas Tongue, and Senator
Mcbride.
Mr.. Wilkins has the happy faculty of
getting along with his charges that is
possessed by few men, and is very popu-
lar with all Of the Indians on the reserv-
alton, men, women and children. His
long service and close study of the con-
ditions surrounding Indian life made
him valuable man at the head of the
reservation, and his departure will be a
loss.
1t is not known whether or not Mr..
wilkins successor has been selected by
the department.

Homestcaders in Nebraska VIII Get Gao
Acres.

Homesteaders in Nebraska Will Get 64O
Acres.
Seven million acres of land IN central
and western Nebraska are to be given
away in homesteads of $40 acres each on
June %, when the Kinkead law, named
after it's author, Congressman Kinkead,
Of Nebraska, will become effective.
Under it the size OF homestead in
any county OF the Fifth and Sixth Con-
gresslonal district OF Nebraska will be
increased from l6O to GAO acres.
Whether the land will go to settlers or
will be turned over to the great cattle
raisers who for many years have grazed
their herds on it, and even fenced it off,
is the interesting question out in Ne.

the big cattlemen had fenced in areas as
large as some states In these particular

TRAIL OF DEVASTATION.
Large Army of fGrasshoppers Invade the
Alkali Country,

Large Army of fGrasshOppers Invade the
Alkali Country.
An army Of grasshoppers has invaded
the country in the vicinity of Alkali, a
wheat raising district about 20 miles
southwest of Pendleton, and the damage
done by the festive insects is said to be
enormous, says the Tribune A stretch
of country a mile wide and several miles
long was visited, and when the busy
grasshoppers were through with their
nefarious work the grain in many places
had been damaged to such an extent
that nothing but bare stalks were left.
In few fields the wheat was almost
completely eaten down and rendered un-
fit even for hay.
Monrad Fix, of Pendleton is the
heaviest loser from the visit of the hun
cry parasites. A field of 500 acres,
which week ago was large stretch of
waving grain, has been rendered prac-
tically worthless. Mr.. Fix secured a
number of laborers and took them to
his ranch to assist in cutting the damag-
ed wheat for hay. The hay, Of course,
will be of an inferior quality, but it will
be much more valuable for feeding pur-
poses than straw. The estimated loss to
Mr.. Fix's wheat is somewhere in the
neighborhood of 81, 200, but if he is able
to sell the largest portion of the hay the
loss will be reduced probably 81, 500.
Other farmers living in the stretch of
country visited by the grasshoppers have
also suffered large losses. Some of the
fields were slightly damaged while 9TH
ers were not overlooked at all by the
grasshoppers. The total damage to the
growing wheat in the Alkali country
will amount to several thousands of dol
lars, but it will be difficult to estimate
the exact loss
