RoBBING THE INDIAN GRAVES
Forty Mounds Of the Dead Iesecrated
In Curry County.

News has reached the Indian train
ing school at Chemawa, that more
than 40 graves have been desecrated
in the little town of South Salem, in
the vicinity of Har bor, in Curry coun-
tya. by parties searching for Indian
money and relics. Some of the bodies
dug up had not been buried more
than year and half. The remains
were scattered over the ground aud
left for the dogs and coyotes to de-
your. The Indians are very indignant
over the matter, and have appealed to
Frank Kyselka, the agent of the
Hoopa reservation who has the general
supervision over the Indians of that
neighborhood.
II the federal authorities will take
a hand in this it may go hard with
the ghouls. Four persons have been
arrested by the local authorities on in
formation made, but the officials are
very indifferent concerning the matter
and not much is expected to come Of
the arrests.

WHEAT SALES DAY
The First One Not Marked
With Success.
NO B|DDING DONE IN ATHENA
A Few Lots Disposed of at Pendleton
Next Sales Days Wednes-
Day and Friday.

Yesterday was the date set for the
first Wheat sales in Athena. The
date came ali right, but there was
neither bidder or seller present to
transact business, and the result was
the first sales day in this city was
OF no consequence whatever.
At Pendleton, Wednesday, buyers
were conspicuous by their absence,
though there was considerable
amount of wheat offered. The
East Oregonian says: Instead of
discouraing the farmers in their sales
day scheme the action of the buyers
seems to have made the members of
the association more determined than
ever in their plans. They are now
preparing for next sales day, August
10, and they declare 1t will be differ
ent from the one yesterday.
There will be more wheat for sale
next time, although nearly 100,
bushels were offered yesterday" says
Secretary Smythe. "Also, there will
be something DOING, for there will
be several independent buyers here,
and the local men will certainly be
on hand.
The sales day in Athena has been set
for Friday, August II, and the sales
days will come on each Friday there
after.
There have been many private sales
OF wheat made in Athena during the
past ten days. Most of the grain has
been purchased by the Preston Parton
Milling Co., the price being so cents
per bushel.

Two-Year-Old Pendleton Babe the Vic.
tim ofh Mistake.
The year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcqueen, who reside on west WebL
street, died last evening about 8
O'Clock from the effects of drinking
some fly poison, about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. The bowl containing
the poison was left where the little
fellow could reach it and when dis
covered he had swallowed a large
portion of the liquid. says the Pendle-
ton Tribune.
About an hour afterwards physi-
clan was called who found the baby
inclined to be sleepy, but otherwise
in normal condition. He gave him
some medicine to counteract the effects
of the poison and went out into the
country to see another patient, think
ing the little fellow was in no danger
whatever. Later in the evening when
it was seen that the baby was sink
ing, another doctor was called, but
his efforts to save the child were in
vain.

YEAR AND A MONTH
Judge Hunt lPronounces Sen
tence on Charles Nickel.
FAILS TO IMPOSE ANY FINE
Stay of Sentence Is Granted Until Bill
Of Exceptions Can Be Filed
and Appeal Taken.

Charles Nickel, of Medford, Or,
publisher of the Southern Oregonian,
tri-weekly newspaper, and formerly
United States Commissioner there,
who was found guilty July 81, by a
jury in the United States District
Court of having conspired with Henry
q. Hoge to defraud the Government
of portions of its lands, was yester-
day afternoon sentenced to 13 months
Imprisonment on McNeill's Island by
Judge Hunt.
Nickel looked the picture of des-
pair, says the Oregonian, when told to
stand up, and upon being asked if he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced against him,
responded in feeble voice:
II am fully conscious of my inno-
eence, and believe that was wrong
fully convicted. / did nothing know
ingly to violate the laws, and if I had
of known of the existance of the con-
tract, should not have had anything
to do with those applications. !"
The contract alluded to was the one
wherein the Emmettsburg of New
Zealand Company,a mythical concern,
was presumed to agree to purchase
timber claims filed on the dupes of
Miller and Kincart, for which each
entryman paid location fee ranging
from $40 to $50. Nickel was the
United States Commissioner before
whom the claimants attested their
affidayits, aud who was alleged to
have received a fee of $40 on each
claim. Hoge, who also profited by
the proceedings, was the City Attorney
of Medford, and both himself and
Nickel were presumed to have given
moral support to the deception by
recommending Miller as a reliable
person. Hoge is now serving four
months term of imprisonment in the
Multnomah county Jail, and in ad-
dition must pay fine of $500. Mil
Ter and Kincart were given one year
each at hard labor on McNeill's
Island.
In pronouncing sentence on Nickel,
Judge Hunt said:
"Of course, the jury must have
found that you knew Of the existence
of the contract. The whole scheme

DAM WILL BE EXPENSIVE
Portland Man Declares It Will Cost a
Half Million Dollars.

The government will lose 100000
IN refusing to let the Gold Springs
dam to coast bidders, according to J.
B. David, in the Portland Telegram,
who has made careful estimate Of
the proposed work and the condit-
ions.
The Cold Springs dam is to be built
in Umatilla river for irrigation pur-
poses. 1t is to be half mile long
and go feet high at the greatest eleva-
tion, and both front and back are to
be surfaced with cement. Recent
bids were opened by the engineers,
and they all ranged close to the $780,
600 mark, and the officials turned
them down on the ground that they
were too high. The government now
proposes to have the job done by
days work, unless lower bids can be
obtained
The government never does any
thing as cheaply as private individuals
can," Mr.. David said today, "and
if this job is attempted 1t will cost
the treasury 100000. Labor and
material are higher than they were
When these bids were prepared, and
were the figures to be again submitted
they would have to be much higher
than when the former ones were
opened.
"rhe government turned down the
bids on the klamath irrigation scheme
and is now trying to do the work by
day labor. 1t is already apparent
that the work is costing q good deal
more than the contractor offered to do
it for.
''In the opinion of the Oregon CON
tractors it will take two years to build
the Cold Spring dam. There are 4OO,-
900 cubic yards of earth to remove,
and when the dam is completed, a
lake two miles long, half mile wide
and go feet deep will be formed by the
winter torrents of the Umatilla river.
These conserved waters will be used
in irrigating the sand flats near the
Columbia river during the summer
months. -

was viciously fraudulent, and the ag-
gravating of it was that your action
carried with it an indifference to pour
official position. One word. one eau
ton, one warning from you as United
States Commissioner, and the whole
conspiracy would have been in
terrupted, aud you would have been
spared this humiliation. You do not
know how disagreeable it is for me- in
the discharge of my duty, to impose
such severe sentence The Judge
ment of the court is that you be con-
fined in the Government prison at
McNeill's Island for the term of 13
months" ("
Nickel gave Sigh of relief as be
sat down, and it is evident that the
judges failure to impose fine in
addition to imprisonment was the one
bright ray of sunlight in the whole
proceeding to him.
Judge O'Day, counsel for Nickel,
asked for a stay of sentence until he
could prepare bill of exceptions and
obtain writ of error, and upon con-
sent of United States District Attorney
Bristol the defendent was allowed to
go upon his present bond for period
of 20 days, when he must furnish a
new surety for his appearance in the
sum of $4,000, an increase over his old
bond of $4,000. 1t is Nickell's in
tention to take an appeal.
Judge A. s. Bennett, attorney for
Hamilton H. Hendricks, who was con-
victed Saturday night OF subornation
of perjury, announced yesterday that
he would take immediate steps to ap-
peal that case also. Hendricks is to
appear for sentence next Saturday
morning.

Hole Burned In Hand.

George Geckler had miraculous
escape from instant death Wednesday
at La Grande when he received the
full current from the Grand Round
electric line in his left hand. The
electric fluid burned a hole through
the hand and burned the fingers to a
crisp. Mr.. Geckler undertook to
measure pole on header derrick
which was standing near the electric
line. In some manner the pole
slipped and fell, coming in contact
with the wire. The young man had
his hand on the pole and on the in
slant Of contact be was thrown to the

ORDERED FROM THE FORT
Captain Howard of Walla Walla, In
Role Of Petty Martinez.

Because she refused TO become a
servant in the home of Captain Fl. p.
Howard of the Fourteenth cavalry at
+ ort Walla Walla, Miss Eva Beller
of Freewater, has been ordered by
Captain Howard, to leave the Walla
Walla post and forbidden to return
under any circumstances, says the
East Oregonian. This most extraord-
mary order was issued by Captain
Howard Monday afternoon, and in
the evening at 6 o'clock, the time
specified by Captain Howard for her
departure from the military reser-
walton, Miss Beller left for her home
in Freewater.
But this is not the last of it.
The order is the result of a rival
ry between the families of Captain
Howard and Lieutenant Holcomb, and
is the first instance in the history Of
the post in which a civilian has been
exiled from the Walla Walla military
reser walton.
Miss Beller is a young woman Of
excellent character and is first class
girl in every respect, but because she
refused to work in the home of Cap
tain Howard, she is forbidden to live
at the post.
The people of Walla Walla are
deeply concerned in the order as it
opens the door to unlimited license on
the part of the military officers and a
demand will be made for thorough
investigation Of the order of Captain
Howard.
