chimes cut the strips into postal cards
of regulation size as we buy them at
the postoffice.
Three alert young women feed these
strips into the cutters. When 25
cards are bitten off by the sharp
knives OF the machine, the receiving
rack is turned over and the quarter
hundred cards are bound into pack
ct with gummed paper strip.
The girls who gum the packages to-
gether have to be very spry. With a
dozen gummed strips held between
their lips, their trained fingers hover
over the straight-edged packs of pos

One young woman is behind each

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Indian Gets Drunk and Probably Slept
on the Track.

Zebit Allenwood is another Indian
who has gone to his happy hunting
ground through whiskey and the rail-
road track. He was killed Saturday
night near the second crossing this
side the old agency buildings. From
the circumstances surrounding his
case II rs thought he was walking
home along the track and either did
not hear the approaching train. or
had fallen asleep on the track. He
was evidently drunk at the time, as
he had been drinking considerably
while in town Saturday.
From evidence given the cOroner's
Jury a verdict was given that the de-
ceased had met death by being run
over by an eastbound freight train
Saturday night. Also, the evidence
showed that the train had not given
the proper signal for the crossing
which was but 30 feet east OF where
the Indian was Killed The jury was
composed Of the following: L. r.
Wood. James O'Sullivan. J. G. Fin
ney, Harry Redford, Moses Christen-
sen andsi. II. Blakeley.
According. TO Coroner Henderson
Alenwood was from sites, Idaho.
and had been visiting on the reserva-
tion here for nearly a year. He had
married Umatilla squaw, but had
been. separated from her or late he
had been living at the home of An
drew Barnhart. He was buried on
the reservation the day following his
