umath|a Indian Agent Has Troubles
in Store
SENATOR FULTON TO PRESENT CASE
SCANDAL OVER INDIAN AFFAIRS
SOON TO REACH GOVERN
MENT EARS.

PENDLETON, Nov. 3.-That ccm-
plete investigation Of the affairs of the
Umatilla reservation is to be asked
of the government is declared by those
who during the past week have been
active in disclosing the methods used
by Agent O. c. Edwards and w. L..
Thompson, guardian of minor Indian
heirs. Just what form the charges
against Edwards and Thompson will
take and when they are to be made
is not disclosed. But it is understood
the matter will be taken up immedi-
ately with the department by Senator
Fulton, and that he will be given
valuable assistance by Senator An
keny of Washington, and by Senator
Dubois Of Idaho.
The reason why the matter will be
handled by the above-named sena-
tors is to insure a real and thorough
inquiry by the department Of the in
terror. Should an ordinary complaint
be filed with the Indian bureau it is
feared it might meet the fate that
befell the meritorious petition Of the
county court for public roads across
the reservation.
AS far as is known nothing in the
nature Of criminal charges have been
preferred against Edwards or Thomp-
son. and unless local people take the
subject before the United Stats dis
trict attorney, it is generally believed
that official will refrain from an ac-
ion.
J. A. Kennard, representative Of the
bonding company which is upon the
bond of Agent Edwards, and also on
w. L. Thompson's guardianship bond
has been here for several days. He is
from Tacoma. However, Mr.. Kennard
has given no public statement regard
ing his mission here.

SHEEP SUPPLANTING CATTLE
Stockmen of Salmon River Changing

the largest cattle raisers in the coun-

and the beef raised has brought fancy
prices in Omaha and Chicago markets.
Bunch grass cattle they are called and
every dealer knows the value of bunch
grass as feed for beef. At certain
seasons of the year the cattle would
actually fatten enough for the mar

It is learned that the stockraisers
have decided that there is more money
in sheep in this country than in cattle,

cUTlCURA SOAP AND
CUTlCURA OINTMENT

''For a Long time I suffered with
sores on the hands which wege itching,
painful, and disagreeable. had three
doctors and derived no benefit from
any Of them. One doctor said he was
afraid to touch my hands, so you
must know how bad they were; an
ether said I never could be cured; and
the third said the sores were caused
by the dipping of my hands IN water
IN the dye-house where I work. I
saw IN the papers about the wonderful
cures Of the Cuticura Remedies and
procured some of the Cuticura Soap
and Calticura Ointment. In three
days after the application of the
CuticuBa Ointment my hands began
TO peel and were better. The sore
ness disappeared, and they are now
smooth and clean, and I am still
working in the dye-hOuse.
81 strongly recommend Cubicura
Soap and Cutictra Ointment to any
one with sore hands, and hope that
this letter win be the means Of help
ing other sufferers. Very truly yours,

HE'LL STAND PAT.

his record in the Katy land case. He
said today
There is no act of my administra-

closest scrutiny of the public as what
1 did with relation to this Katy land
case. Al this talk and criticism Is due
to politics. 1 am confident that I did
the right thing in the matter
Governor Hoch had not read William
Allen Whites latest production on the
subject, in which he severely criticises
Governor Hoch and Attorney General
Coleman for their part in the affair.

WILLIE SELLS HAS TROUBLES.
Pleads Guilty to Assault and Battery
on w c. Stephenson.

Between herding his elephants and
camels into the circus tent. and giving
away complimentary tickets to his thou
sand and one friends in Topeka Willie
Sells had time to go to the district court
yesterday afternoon and put a little
patch on the assault with intent to Kill
case which W. c. Stephenson has
against him. The case was reduced to
ment to County Attorney Hungate TO
plead guilty to that charge. Judge
Dana did not pass sentence. Stephenson
also has a damage suit against Sells,
resulting from the same case. The dam
age suit viii be tried probably at an
early date and the court wishes to hear
the evidence in II, before he passes on
the assault case finally as to punish
ment.
The trouble between Stepehson and
Sells occurred one day last winter.
Stephenson acted as Sells agent. and
sold the Chesterfield hotel for which he
understood he was to receive a commits
sion of $500. Sells was in Denver at the
time and drew on Stephenson. The lat
ter would have had to take part of his
commission to meet the amount He
refused to and the draft was turned
down. Sells turned up in Topeka q few
days later, and going to Stephenson's
office and getting into an argument,
he hit the latter across the head with
the butt end of q revolver. Sells than
sued Stephenson for $500, and Stephen
son sued Sells for $500. Stephenson also
had Sells arrested for assault with in
tent to Kill.
A bunch of tent hands belonging to
the Sells circus turned up at the eoun-
ty attorneys Office yesterday evening
just before closing time and wanted the
OFFICERS to compel Sells to pay them
wages which they claimed were due.
There were FIVE of them, and the sum
total Of their claims was about $40.
The OFFICERS here could do nothing for
them, because they are not residents of
this state and could not make poverty
