Nigeria cannibals Eat British omcer.

Nigeria Cann1baIs Eat British Omcer'
Reports from southern Nigeria give
an account of the murder by natives
of DR.. Stewart, medical officer at
Owerri, an Outstation. He was bicy-
cling along the road near the station
and, losing his way, went on into an
unfriendly country. For two or three
days no news of his whereabouts could
be obtained until at last friendly ma
tive came in with the information that
DR.. Stewart had been caught by the
Ahiras, a powerful race, who occupy
most of the hinterland.
1t seems like a strange mingling OF
civilizations, but the reports are to the
effect that the man was captured while
he was riding a bicycle and eaten by
cannibals, his wheel being broken and
made over into trinkets, which were
worn by the chiefs at the feast.

Union County Fair a Failure,

Never in the history of the county
has fair conducted by the Grand
Ronde Valley Agricultural society at
tracted so little interest. The whole
trouble seems to be the fact that few
knew there was to be a fair, and, II
they had heard It mentioned in an OBJ
scure way, 1t was not brot before the
public in manner to create interest.
There was no advertiZing In the pa
pers-nothing further than few lit
tie bills posted in the barber shops
and a few other places, which lookt
more like n testimonial for some hair
tonic than to herald the announc.
ment of the coming county fair. the
consequence is the gate receipts for
the first day reacht SIS, with no In
crease on the following day. To TINS
lack of advertising is due entirely the
lethargy on the part Of the people
who have something worthy of ex-
hibit. And no one conversant WIN
the products of the valley will say but
that Grande Ronde could not put or
an exhibit that would astonish mol
alone the natives but the stranger al

STORY FOR THE DEFENSE.
Claim "Stuck" Sampson Was Not
Killed by AcclIzed Indians.

Considerable excitment exists among
a large number of Indians on the
Yakima reservation, says the Yakima
Republic, concerning the holding in
the county Jail here Of Billie George,
the Indian charged with the murder
of the Umatilla brave called "Stuck."
1t is asserted that Stuck was not killed
by Billie George and his brother, but
was murdered by a band of Yakimas
all of whom were under the influ-
ence of whisky at the time.
George Meninick. well known
race horse Indian, and several of his
Indian friends are here this after
noon to see Sheriff Grant and the
prosecuting attorney about the mat
ter. They contend that Billie George
has been falsely Represented. He says
that the dead Indian who belonged to
the Umatilla tribe, was large man
about feet and 6 inches in height,
and an Indian was always on the
fight. He had been in Toppenish that
day threatening to clean out the YAK
| ina tribe, and that when he left the
town band of Yakimas followed him
out, attackt him and after a desper'
ate fight with knives. that Stuck was
overpowered and slain.
The Umatilla and Yakima tribes
have never been the best of friends
and this big brave who was killed
was especially obnoxious to the Yak
ina Indians.
Meninick does not deny that Bill
George and his brother were In tn
crowd. He says they were along bu
we're not responsible for the death o
Stuck. Another faze of the questio
looms up in the statement made b
some of the Yakima Indians to tn
effect that Stuck had threatened TN
, lives of several of the Yakimas.
