East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-26

Notwithstanding the fact that a
coroner's jury. a physician and two
attorneys have all examined the
body, taken the testimony of several
witnesses. and declared that David
Wolf. an allOJtee on the Umatilla
reservation. took his own life, many
Indians are dissatisfied and believe
the man was murdered. The Indian
was found dead Sunday morning in
cell at the government school, his
body hanging by the neck. suspended
by means of large silk handkerchief
from a grating. The coroner's in
quest was held in the afternoon, and
verdict of death by suicide returned.
Upon request of the Indians, Sup
erintendent ]. j. McKoin and County
Coroner T. NJ. Henderson, DR.. r. E.
Ringo held post mortem examina
tion the day following and pronounc-
ed the case one of suicide by strangu
lation. But the murmur OF dissatis-
faction continued TO spread, and yes
terday afternoon Former District At
torney T. G. HALEY and Attorney Dan
P. Smythe visited the tepee of Wolf
and made further investigation.
There is not the least question in
my mind" said Mr.. HALEY, but that
the Indian committed suicide by
hanging. Such deed is not without
precedent on the reservation. About
10 years ago a squaw killed herself in
almost the same manner in which
Wolf met his death. She went to a
barn and with piece of rope for
moose hanged herself from a harness
peg. She placed her head through
the moose. and then catching her
ankles with her hands held her feet
from the floor until unconscious from
strangulatiou. In the county Jail
few years ago, an aged German far
mer under arrest for attempting 10
kill his wife. strangled himself to
death by means of pair of suspend
ers tied to the bars of his cell.
1T is not uncommon for Indians TO
suicide. Last summer Jim Joshua
shot himself"
Wolf was taken in a drunken con-
dition before the superintendent late
"a HLuEQaN EiEtlL. DN joe t-dII anu
Frank Mcintyre. two mixed bioods.
Wolf was bound and one hand was
bleeding from a small cut. Parr and
Mcintyre testified that the Indian
came to PARIS house and broke out
a window light with his fist, cutting
his hand, and that they caught him
There is said to be bad blood existing
between Parr and some Of >the In
dams, and the tribesmen suspect him
of being responsible in some manner
for the death of Wolf.
Mr. Smythe has an explanation as
to the probable cause of Wolf COM
mitting suicide wolf was drunk
when locked up at the school" said
Smythe. when ne awOke and found
himself in confinement with blood on
his hand, / believe he thought he
had killed some one while in a
drunken frenzy. and filled with re-
morse and fear of the law took his
own life"

Santa Rosa, Cal, Jan. 26.-Luther
Burbank, the wizard OF plant life, is
at work on new potato. He has
found a variety that grows wild in the
certr,i part of South America, an
ordinary scrub. scorned even by the
Indians. but so hardy that it has sur
Vivid its lack of cultivation and nat
ural disadvantages since the centuries
before the Incas.
TINS has been taken up by the ma

THE cOWARDLY SHARK.
Splash In the Water, and You Can Eas-
lily Scare Him Away.


Every sailor in the south seas, de-
elares a writer in the Washington
Star, knows that the shark IS
coward. 4 man who has served
many years in the navy tells Of an
experience with sharks at Tahiti. a
crew Of seamen gunners had obtain
ed permission to take a beach swim
and had not given a thought to
sharks, although they had seen num-
bers of them about the harbor.
In addition to being young, writes
the sailor, l was more self confident
than I've ever been since, because
there wasn't a man or boy on board
that could teach me anything about
swimming. That's how it came
about that as soon as we jumped
into the water on the Papete beach
I proceeded to outswim all the rest,
/ just to show 'em.
/ didn't turn to look back until l
was about 300 yards from the beach.
The only reason why [ turned
around then was because [ heard a
lot Of noise from the beach.
When l turned | saw about a
hundred naked natives and all OF
the fellows from our ship lined up
on the beach at the edge of the wa
ter, Jumping up and down and way
ing their arms at me and yelling
with all their might. But l saw
something more important than
that. There were, it seemed to me,
about a million huge, wet and shiny
shark fms between me and the beach
Some of them weren't more than
ten yards from me.
1 stopped and trod water and
nervously slapped the surface of the
water with my hands. | noticed
that when I slapped the water par
ticularly hard the sharks that were
nearest to me edged back and cir
cled at a greater distance from me
So I kept on slapping the water.
} The sharks were waiting for MI
/ to get tired, and they took it easy
3 Forty natives put out after me Il
f one of those sixty foot long and tw'
:. foot wide canoes with the outrage
9 arrangement familiar in the soutl
seas, and in the bow Of the boat an
directing them was an old quarter
. master from British tradln
n schooner in the harbor.
: "Splash, keep a-splashing, yo
e Yankee pup idiotp' he bawled at m
y as the canoe approached where
was in the middle of the semlclrcl
of waiting sharks.
I was a good deal scared, but a
the canoe approached | noticed tina
all of the natives that weren't help
l. ing to pull the canoe were 1eanin
y over the side and slapping an
churning the water with all thei
might and main. That settled il
The sharks dispersed like bunc
Il of stampeded mountain goats, and
was hauled into the canoe and scold
g ed by the British quartermaster fo
n my folly until we pulled up on tn
beach. That was my first exper
ence with the cowardice of sharks.
