Richardson, who lives near the Cove,
was a member of the company which
administered the final blow, but at
the time of the action, was detailed at
Walla Walla.
He has nevertheless, had many en-
counters with the bloodthirsty Indi-
an and can tell scores of interesting
stories of pioneer warfare. He says
the nearest he ever came to losing his
life at the hands of the Indians was
at Milton during the same summer
was fought. 1t was by the narrowest
margin that he escaped the tomahawk
and Indian tortures.
New York, July 19.-New York is
to be treated to a course on electric
eels, of which it has only hazy idea.
Don Ouixote de Esprando, of Vene-
zuela, perhaps the greatest living au-
thority on the use to which the cleo
trio eel may be put, is coming to New
York to convince the skeptical that
electric cells. such as can be found by
hundreds of thousands in the basins
of the Orinoco and Amazon rivers, can
be put to all kinds of useful purposes.
one hundred of these eels. it is said
without a smile by the authorities who
live near the waters where the fish
is most abundant, can be put in Il
zinc tank, where, with proper care,
they will give off enough electricity
to run an automobile "a hours Ten
will generate power enough to run
three-coach train at a speed Of not
less than 35 miles an hour.
The electric eel which is at pres
ent causing so much attention and dis
cussion in South America, is describ-
ed as a thick, stout, blackish, scaleless
fish which sometimes grows to be six
feet long. 1t differs so greatly In
structure from ordinary eels that
many ichthycologists have put it in
a separate family or group. 1t is
found in the Amazon and Orinoco
basins wherever the water is warm
and sluggish and so great Is its elec-
trio power that 1t habitually kills more
fish than 1t can possibly consume.
Horse Crazed With Homesickness.
p''th'NiN sNois NoiiltS uoNl lIOll
Sullivan county that has attracted
much attention as stories about horses
usually do. A horse purchased by
Orrin Rice, proprietor of large
summer boarding house at Rock Hill,
Sullivan county, broke his halter,
while crazed with homesickness and
started for the old home. He ran
seven miles, and dropped dead as he
came in sight of the old farm.
The horse had been purchased from
a man In Monticello. Rice took the
animal home, and it continually whin-
MED, refused to eat, showing all signs
OF homesickness. Veterinarians did
not help 1t, and 1t became so weak
that it could not stand up. Saturday
night it lay apparently dying in the
field. Sunday it was missing. Signs
showed the horse had broken its hal
ter, jumped the fence, had run seven
miles to its home near Monticello and
as 1t saw the barn where it had been
born and brought up, it dropped dead
of exhaustion. The horse was buried
on the farm where it was born.
"The Limit" for Economy.
AS the strain of expenses for living
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-07-21

is increasing people are eagerly read
ing the items that tell how men and
women have struggled through life on
small sums. Some of these sums are
so inflnitesimal that persons find it
hard to believe them. The latest
story comes from York, Pa, where
! the Rev. Jacob Kurtz, the "house-
top" evangelist, is following his usual
. annual custom of working in the har-
vest fields. In the daytime he works
in the fields, and at night time he
goes into waynesboro, where he
breaches from the housetops.
The evangelist lives on ~ cents a
day His bill of fare for each Of three
daily meals is three slices of stale
bread. each half an inch thick, which
costs cents a day; skinned milk. 2
cents a day; half a cup of coffee, u
cents day: two tablespoonfuls of
jelly, l cent a day. The farmers for
whom he is working recently requir-
ed him to increase his cost of living
to 1S cents a day by adding two eggs
at each meal, costing 6 cents, and one
piece of pie costing 1 cent. The evan
gelist classed these additional articles
of diet as unnecessary luxuries. and
after a few days returned to his limit
of 6 y cents a day.
Rev. Kurtz claims that on his slim
diet he is able to stand the hard work
in the fields better than younger men,
who gorge themselves with rich food.
a Platt-Odell Combine.
The reuniting of the forces of OdelI
and Platt, which is announced. puts
an interesting color on the republi-
can situation in New York city and
state. 1t has aroused the new factors
in the fight, who have laid in with
President Roosevelt to carry the state
away from the old-time bosses. and
swing in an entirely new set. Senator
Platt had given signs of retiring from
active politics, at least if he did not
give up his seat in the senate. But
the chance of another fight, in which
there are some chances of winning at
least temporary victory, has stirred
the old fire in the political warrior
and he is up and doing, with his for.
mer lieutenant, later foe, and now
friend, in a common cause.
1t seems to be a case in which
Odell and Plat have to have meat
and will fight for 1t. Plat is wise i'm
one way, at any rate. II he gave up
with a fight on his hands, it will stir
him to assemble all his energies, and
give him another lease of life.

-'ho last Indian fight in Grand
nc"'' "",'cd Proehsters grove, one
mile i,om La Grande, on July L,
1856.
The 50th anniversary of the fight
was celebrated in La Grande by a
few pioneers on Tuesday. July IL The
La Grande Observer gives the follow
ing account of the fight so years ago.
The Indians had been beaten at
every turn in the southern portion of
Washington territory, and had started
on ? great retreat southward. A COM
pany Of volunteers pursued them
down the Burnt river and experienced
several skirmishes in which the Indi-
ans were generally successful, but for
all that the retreat continued.
After reaching a point on the Burnt
river where they could cross to the
Oregon immigration trail, pursuers
and pursued clashed for the last time.
The battle was not a decisive one for
either side and the whites returned to
their pioneer homes.
All Tribes Joined.
While the Indians were carrying on
their parley and retreat, fleet footed
Indian messengers and emissaries
had preceded the main body and car
ried a cry for reinforcements to the
Snake river Indians, as well as other
tribes to the south and west.
This cry for help was echoed and
| re-echoed from the loftiest peak to
the lowliest tepees SO that every war;
rior within hearing distance, big
| enough to carry gun or bow and
arrow responded. And with the char
tcristics of the Indian, he responded
promptly. Every remnant OF an In
dian tribe that could be reached by
this wall quickly assembled in this
district, for he knew he must, fight a
decisive battle at this time.
Soldiers From Walla WalIa.
During the few days it took to gath
er the various tribes in this valley, the
soldiers who were detailed at Fort
Walla Walla remembered their broth
ers down the Burnt river and with
Colonel Shaw in command of 200 de-
termined soldiers started for the
Grand Ronde.
They entered the valley by way of
what is now known as the Woodard
road, intending to reinforce the other

in this locality. Slowly working their
way to the head of the valley, they
soon discovered the Indians in large
numbers and for two days occasional
ly encountered a squad of red men.
Surprised the Indians.
Colonel Shaw with his little body
of men, surprised the assembled war
riors ready for battle along a section
which is now marked by the Proebstel
bridge and extending a distance OF
about Il mile on south OF the river and
over what is now covered by May
Park
There was no modern warfare
about this clash. The Indians seclud-
ell themselves as best they could in
the tail grasses and the attacking
parties adopted the same tactics. All
DAY long the fight went on and by
evenings approach red skinned men
knew that their last stand was a fail
ure and with the usual shrewdness of
their race, disbanded in small groups.
These groups were pursued by por-

and like the Spartans in Thermopolae,
they died to a man. Their remains
were thrown into huge pile and with
the carcasses of the dead horses,
burned. Tourists are today finding
charred bones and arrow heads on
the spot where Indian braves were
cremated.
One Man Killed.
During the pursuits which the VIC
tors made after gangs of fleeing In.
dams, several hand to hand conflicts
occurred. One especially was inter-
esting as well as sad, for here it was
that William Holmes lost his life, the
only man killed during the fight.
Holmes, with S. Lilly, now residing
In Corvallis. and another man, gave
chase to number OF defeated Indi-
ans and as Holmes and Lilly had
faster mounts than the others, they
outdistanced their comrades and over
took the enemy. When the two horse
men got within shooting distance, the
Indians suddenly faced about and
opened fire.
Their pursuers were Just as active
and had dismounsed. In this very act
of dismounting 1t was that Holmes
los this life. Instead OF sliding from
his horse on the opposite side from
the Indians as did Lilly, Holmes plac-
ed himself in plain fire OF the Indi-
ans. The first volley killed him. BY
this time Lilly and his other COM
rade were surrounded and using rifle
butts as weapons they managed to
keep death away until the approach
OF rescuing party.
