SIOUX CHIEF TAN
SEEKS DAUGHTER
"LOST BIRD" is NOW
IN PORTLAND, ORE
Chief Little Cloud Sought General
Colby at Beatrice, Ncb., to Demand
the Return OF His Child Which
Was Taken as Baby at the Bloody
Battle of Wounded Knee.

A letter from Beatrice, Neb., gives
the following account of the visit of
q number of Sioux warriors to that
place in search of Lost Bird" the
daughter of Chief Little Cloud, who
disappeared at the battle of Wound
ed Knee.
The child was taken by General
Colby, of the United States forces en-
gagged in the battle, and is now in
Portland, Ore, with Mrs. Clara Il.
Colby, first wife of the general. Mrs.
Colby edits the Woman's Tribune in
Portland and keeps Lost Bird in the
Indian school at Chemawa (when she
will stay there. The letter from Bea-
trice Is as follows:
The people of this little city are
thankful General L. w. Colby was
not at home when Chief Little Cloud
and his band of Sioux warriors enter
ed the gates of the place and began
a search of residences for the general.
Colby is brave man, has faced In
dians on several bloody fields and has
never known defeat. He has served
in the regular army and has a record
for putting redskins to sleep.
Chief Little Cloud and his tribe OF
Sioux braves came to Beatrice with
John Robinson's circus, with which
they in conjunction with company
of United States cavalry, put on the
battle of Wounded Knee.
This battle was fought in the win
ter of 1891. Chief Little Cloud and
General Colby were conspicuous in
this awful slaughter. They had a
hand to hand scuffle and both were
wounded. The Indians were badly
worsted.
Chief Little Cloud made his escape,
as did his squaw or wife.
Captured 200 Pappooses.
Two hundred little pappcoses were
left in the running blood of the bat
tlefleld. Among them was Chief Lit
tie Clouds baby daughter, one year
old, whose Indian name, translated OF
interpreted, is Lost Bird.
General Colby found her on the
field of Wounded Knee and confiscat-
ed her. He has always contended that
Lost Bird was an orphan; that the
parents were killed in the battle, and
that when he found her she was suck
ing the breast of her dead mother.
Chief Little Cloud has parchment
records showing that he is the father
of Lost Bird.

FOUND HERDER DEAD.
John Prel Dead for Week Before
Found,

Martin hacumber, a big sheepman
of Union county, found the body of
John Prel, a sheepherder, near the
Little Salmon river yesterday morn
ing, and Immediately came to the
tollgate, where he notified the sheriff
and coroner of Union county.
Mr. Macumber stated that he did
not stop to examine the body which,
from all appearances, had been in the
same position, with life extinct, for
over a week, as he preferred to have
the officials see it first. From the po-
sition of the body, however, 1t is not
thought he came to his death from
natural causes, though whether 1t is
murder or suicide is not known.
The body was found leaning against
a log while the dead mans rifle was
on the other side of the log. Prel
has been tending sheep for Mr.. Ma
cumber and the owner was on an in
spection trip when he made the grew
some discovery. The sheep had wan
dered over to the camp of Joseph and
Virgil DAWN, the Walla Walla sheep
men, and are being taken care of
there.
,,Prel is young man and practically
nothing is known Of him. The Union
county officials are expected to reach
the scene tomorrow, and will deter
mine how he met his death.
The body was found about 20 miles
from the tollgate.

Alba, July 21.-The longest spell OF
hot weather that has ever been known
is now passing in the mountains. The
thermometer for the past week regis
tered from 80 to 100, but water is
good and cold and shade plentiful.
There is no sickness and man and
beast are all doing we'll.
The woods are full of people now,
and more are flocking in every day.
A gathering of the clans assembled
at William Futter's home Saturday
night, and after dancing and feasting
galore, are now returning home, and
report the time of their lives.
Mr.. Futter has returned after driv-
ing his beef cattle to Pendleton and
says it is too hot to drive fat cattle.
He lost one by the heat on the trip,
and had close call for several more.

LABOR SCARCE IN CANADA.
Increase of Chinese Head Tax Pre-
vents Immigration.


The Victoria Daily Colonist, after
recounting the labor difficulty in the
northwest United States, says of con-
ditions in Canada:
The conditions are, however, even
more serious in British Columbia than
in the prairie country. Since the Chi
nese tax has been increased to $500
per head, oriental immigration has
practically ceased, and the supply of
Cinnamon for employment on the
farm has grown visibly smaller, and
their wages correspondingly increas-
ed. There are very few Japanese
coming in, so that there is no other
labor to take the place of the Chinese.
White labor is practically impossible
to obtain at any price. What makes
the matter worse for the farmer is at
this, his busiest season the Chinese
and japanese are nearly all engaged
at canneries, which are an annual har-
vest for them.
The effect OF this upon the fruit in
dustry to which we look for great
things is likely to be serious. The
clearing of land, the planting of trees
the cultivation of the soil, the picking
and packing of fruit, and other opera
tions in connection with the industry
require plenty of labor: but even at
any price the labor is OF available.

CUBA WANTS PEOPLE.
Congress ApprOpriates $1,0O0,O0O to
Encourage Immigration.


The Cuban congress has approved a
bill authorizing the executive to spend
up to 100000 to encourage immi-
grafton. Eighty per cent of the
amount is to be spent in bringing
families from Europe and the Canary
islands. and the remainder to bring
laborers from Norway, Sweden, Den
mark and northern! Italy. The oppo-
nents OF the bill asserted that $4,000
immigrants came to Cuba during the
last year Of their own accord, and
that the result Of the bill would be
to compel the government to pay the
passage of such persons in the future.
The Bank Of Habana, recently or
ganized by important banking inter-
ests in New York, Paris and other
European cities, is expected to begin
active business in Habana during
July. The bank has an authorized
capital Of 100000. of which one
half has been paid in. The belief is
expressed, according to dispatch
from Habana, that the bank will take
an active part in transactions which
will facilitate an increase in Cuba's
foreign trade, particularly with the
United States.

WASHINGTON NEDS TEACHERS.
Every County in the State Said to BE
Short This Year.

In nearly every county in the state,
except Walla Walla county, the report
comes that there is a big shortage of
country school teachers to fill the

Bulletin. Walla Walla county is for

plications of entirely competent in

chief learned the soldier who picked
up his little daughter at the battle
of Wounded Knee was at Beatrice,
and so pleased was the chief and his
tribesmen that they took to the woods

ing themselves baffled in their search,
went away with dark frowns, dancing
wildly. beating their flesh and pulling
their hair.

ACTION
PEACOCK CONTEST BEGINS VERY
VIGOROUSLY IN JUDGE LIND
SAYS COURT THIS AFTERNOON.

After a short and sharp legal skir-
mish, during which Attorney Ballou
declared that "the sun should not be
allowed to set again on the present
state Of affairs in the Peacock store"
Judge Lindsay this afternoon allowed
Peacock until tomorrow morning at
ten o'clock to show cause why an or
der should not issue restraining him
from assuming to act as manager of
w c. Peacock and Company, Limited.
When Ashford and Breckons moved
for the continuance, saying they had
prepared an answer i'm four hours af
ter receiving the petition for an order
to show cause, Ballou, with whom ap
peared Stanley and Ande erson, said he
thought four o'clock this afternoon was
time enough. He contended that the
court should not go. into the merits
of the case or wait for the filing of
an answer, before granting the tenn
porary injunction asked for THE
court, pending a settlement of the case"
he said, Should make an order main
tanning the possession of the last peace
able undisturbed occupant in an emer-
gency such as is here shown"
Ashford said that if the court was
not to consider the merits there was
nothing to consider and it was no use
having an order to show cause at all,
before granting a temporary injunc-
tion. He said that it was intended to
show that the court was without juris-
diction, as well as to set forth an an
swer on the facts. Breckons added
that it had taken opposing counsel q
hours after Peacock took possession
to prepare papers asking for a tenn

Judge Lindsay granted the continu-
ance. There will be lot of testimony
to be taken, it is understood, and the
hearing is likely to take several days.

DAUGHTER OF WELL KNOWN
sEAFARING MAN DEPARTS BY
ALAMEDA YESTERDA

Among the passengers departing yes
terday on the S. S. Alan ,da for San
Francisco is a young woman who left
here under very sad circumstances. She
was a Miss Robinson. She had been
on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. ]. M. Oat.
When she came to Honolulu she wore
mourning for her mother who had died
but a short time before Miss Robinson
arrived in the Islands. The young wo-
mans father was well known in these
islands, being Captain David Robin
son, the master of the barkentine Ska
git.
She received a cablegram on Tuesday
announcing the death of her remaining
parent. Captain Robinson had died at
sea on February 10 and had been buried
the following day. The vessel was then
between San Pedro and Port Gamble.
Miss Robinson took the steamer with
out delay to return to her home. Cap
tain Robinson will be remembered in
Honolulu as he had come here in the
bark Cameron years ago.

WINS A BIG
CASH VERDICT

The Territory won what is believed
lnal victory this morning in the Su-
preme Court in the case of the Terri
tory VS.. Cotton Bros, in which a YER
dict for $4,000 damages was secured
in trial before Judge Gear. The
damages were for loss of the dredger
which the Territory loaned to Cotton
Bros. for the dredging of Pearl Har-
Dor channel. The dredger was sunk
while returning to Honolulu and Su-
.perintendent Holloway sued for It's
value, a jury awarding $25.OOO.
From San Francisco Judge Gear ca
bled an order granting a motion for a
new trial, on the grounds of lack of
evidence to support the verdict, and
Judge Lindsay later granted a motion
formally entering the order for such
new trial. A writ of error was secur-
ed by Attorney General Peters from
this order, and defendants moved to
quash the writ of error. This is the

THEIR APPEAL AGAINST THE
TEN DOLLAR FEE S SgSTAINED
BY THE COURT.

The doctors won their license appeal
in the Supreme Court this morning. In
a decision by Justice Wilder the court
held that the law requiring that the
portion of the license act complained
of is void. The decision, however, does
not go into all the merits of the case,
it being found that the act is so con-
strued that it discriminates among
physicians and is therefore void. The
decision is in the case of DR.. ]. T.
Mcdonald, who was fined, for the pur-
poses of a test case, for practicing
without a $40 license Mcdonald had
license, granted before the $40 was
required, and the court says in it's syl-
labus:

sion Laws of 1905. which act amends
