shown his room and going up found the
door locked and no answer returned
to his knocks. He called for assist
ance and the door was forced.
II was bloody and grewsome sight
which met the eyes of those who first
entered the room. Dead upon the
floor, his face bruised and a hatchet
buried in his skull to the handle, his
head pinned to the floor with steel
skewer, which pierced both temples,
pools of blood upon the floor, and bed
clothes stained with crimson, the old
man lay where he had been left, evil
IDENTIFY some hours before, by his un-
known assailant, who made his escape
from the window. The clothes of
the old man were found rified which
probably makes robbery the motive
for the murder. The room bore every
mark of furious struggle and was
found in great disorder.
The bureau drawers had been rifed
and their contents dumped upon the
floor showing that thorough search
had been made evidently for papers
or other valuables.
Not much is known about the muir
dered man. He was past go years of
age and had resided there for num-
Der years and had borne an excellent
reputation.

FORM LIVESTOCK COMPANY
Eastern Oregon Men Interested In the
scheme--B buying Up Cattle.


scheme--Buying UD Cattle.
Representatives of New York have
been in Eastern Oregon the past sever
al weeks, says the Pendleton Tribune,
looking over the field to engage in the
stockraising business on an immense
scale. 1t is understood that great
deal of capital is behind the scheme
and the company recently organized
will extend its interests from Malheur
to Umatilla county,
l.. B. Rinehart, an extensive stock
owner of North Yakima, who was for
merly engaged in stockraising in
Eastern Oregon, passed through Pen
dleton few days ago en- route to
Malheur. Mr.. Rinehart is interested
in the new company which carries a
capital stock of $4,000 Nearly
1900 head of cattle have already
been received and counted for the
company, $50 of the number belonging
to Mr. Rinehart. Stacey Bros, large
cattle owners, living near Vale, are
also interested in the bIg company.

STATE JURISDICTION
INDIAN LIQUOR QUESTION NO
LONGER A FEDERAL ONE.
The Decision Is Reinforced By a Re-
view of the Subject By
Judge Lowell.

An opinion handed down few
days ago by the supreme court Of the
United States declaring the citizen
ship of Indians, who have been allot-
ted land in severalty and, therefore,
deciding that it is not crime to sell
such Indians intoxicating liquors, has
been source of discussion and is a
subject of vital interest to the people
OF this county. Regarding the
same Judge Stephen A. Lowell gave
to the East Oregonian his views as fol-
lows:
"The complete decision of the court
is not given in the press dispatches,
and will not reach the Pacific coast
states for several days. l do not ap-
prehend, however, that its contents
will be new, and 1 am sure they are
not unexpected. Most lawyers have
taken the same view for long time.
The opinion now comes, however,
from the court Of last resort, and is
final
Judge Brewers opinion must not
be accepted as giving the saloons
license to deal with these people as
they may please. It's effect is only
to take jurisdiction in such cases from
the federal courts, but it does not and
cannot limit the power of the states
to enact and enforce laws regulating
liquor traffic among Indians.
"And probably the conditions will
be improved, because county and
municipal officials will feel direct
responsibility.
"As Is we'll known, in recent years
there have been no local deputy
United States marshals, and it has
been somewhat difficult to enforce the
federal statutes in consequence.
"There can be no question about the
right of the state, notwithstanding
the fact that Indians may be citizens,
to prohibit the sale of Intoxicating
liquors to them in the same manner as
such sale is prohibited in the case of
minors and habitual drunkards.
ut may not be generally known,
but the fact exists, that there has
been law upon the statute books Of
Oregon since 1854, which covers this
very question, and I am of the opinion
that the state and county authorities
can proceed Hereunder, and the vari-
ous courts enforce the same. The
statute referred to is as follows:
II any person shall, without the
authority of the United States or some
authorized officer thereof, sell, barter
or give to any Indian or half breed
who lives and associates with Indians,
any firearms or ammunition therefor
whatever, or any spirituous, malt or
vinous liquor, such person upon con-
viction thereof shall be punished by
imprisonment in the county Jail not
less than two months, or more than
six months, or by fine not less than
one, or more than five hundred dol
lars.
II would regard it the duty of the
city council to enact ordinances along
this same line, and | doubt not that
when the next legislature convenes
the law will be elaborated and
strengthened, but for the present !
consider it as ample for the prohibi-
tion of sale of Intoxicating liquors to
Indians"

AN AWFUL MURDER.
A Bellingham Man Found Dead with
HIS Head Nailed TO the Floor.

Ata AAS@o ASatASt ~ tthS
The people of Bellingham, WASH,
were shocked Wednesday morning,
by one of the most brutal murders
ever perpetrated in the Pacific north
west +. B. DANES, the owner of a
meat market, was found dead in his
room at lodging house where he res
ided, with hatchet buried in the top
of his head and skewer driven full
length through his temples into the
floor.
The body was discovered about s
O'Clock in the morning by a travelling
man with whom Danes was negotiat-
ing for the purchase of material for
his shop. The drummer left him the
night before and was to meet him
early next morning. Going to his
shop, he waited an hour, and, finding
that he did not materialize, went to
the place where he lived. He was
