Last Friday Deputy Marshal John F. Drake went up the Yukon with war rant charging Charley Harper with rape on the wife of Iaska, an Indian.
 The crime is alleged to have been committed on the night of Nov. l3. As special mail carrier Harper departed on his duties next morning, and the deputy marshal's intention is to meet and arrest him on his return trip.
 The story of the affair, as it has come to the officials, is as follows
 Nov. l3 Yaska went hunting and his wife came from the village across the river and remained with Lucy Baggage, another native woman, sewing all day. At night Lucy was to accompany Mrs. Yaska home, and they started; but Lucy stopped in cabin, and Mrs. Yaska, getting tired of waiting outside, started on alone
 Next day Lucy went to the Yaska cabin at the village and found Mrs Yaska rolled in the bedclothes, in great agony. Her body had been frozen from the waist down in horrible manner.
 Mrs Naska said that shortly af fter she reached the river bar on her way home the night before she was overtaken by young Harper, who wanted to accom- pany her. She refused permission. Then Harper seized her and struggle ensued in which her clothing was torn off and the lower part of her body left naked. In the scufie a bottle of whisky was broken, but her assailant had an.

other bottle and forced her to drink from it. After that her memory was not clear, but she crawled home, more than quarter of q mile. At home she could not find the matches and went to bed in the cold cabin.
 The temperature was 14 below zero, and there is no telling how long, in her nakedness, the woman was exposed to the open air. She may die. It is said some of her clothing was found in the snow near the place indi- cated.
 That is the development in the case on which the authorities have acted It is by no means impossible that when all the facts are known the affair may appear in an altogether different light.
 The Yaska woman is known to have been drunk and indulged in crazy antics on different occasions. Something more than year ago she was suspected of murdering her infant. An autopsy re- vealed clotted blood on the child's brain, but it was hard to get evidence and she was let go Natives believe she killed it.
 Harper is an educated young man of mixed blood. As young mems charac- ters go in this country, his has not been bad.
 For one reason or anotber the affair was kept as quiet as possible for a time. Now that it is fully before the authori- ties and the public, let no one keep back anything that will help bring out the whole truth.

HISTORY Of THE FOUNDING Of OLD FORT DALLES

Mrs. w. Lord of The Dalles. writes
the following interesting sketch of
the founding of old Fort Dalles. The
sketch was read at The Dalles on
Memorial Day and is as follows:
After the Whitman massacre in
November, 1S47, a company of VOL
unteers We're organized in the Will
lamette valley under Colonel H. A.
G. Lee, to come up to eastern oregon
and capture the murderers.
This uprising and destroying of the
Presbyterian mission had thrown
nearly all of the Indians of the upper
country into rebellious and restless
mood, which made it very necessary
to show them what discipline by force
of arms could accomplish when
brought to bear upon them by Amer
leans aroused by their savage brutali-
ty.
Captain Lee and a portion of the
volunteers came and established
themselves in the buildings formerly
occupied by the Methodist mission
aries. During the occupancy by the
volunteers, which continued for a
year, or perhaps more, the place was
known as Fort Lee, although some
times called Fort Wascopum.
The military authorities at Wash
ington, on learning of the conditions
of the plains, and in Oregon. finally
started in the spring of 1S49, the rifle
regiment Cavalry in command of
Colonel Loring, across the plains as
an escort for emigrants, as well as to
bring about more peaceful relations
between the whites and Indians.
About half the regiment arrived
here in the fall of 40. They rested
in what remained of Fort Lee. Major
Osborn Cross, their quartermaster in
struCted one of their soldiers who
had some skill in sketching to make
a drawing of the place, which he for
warded to Quartermaster General
Jessup at Washington, with recon-
mendation to have the remainder of
the troops kept here for the winter.
mentioning the convenient access to
wood for fuel, also describing the
valley for a few miles below as n
safe place to winter their large herd
of mules.
However, the long distance rem
dered all this useless for the year as
1t took months for reports to reach
Washington, and another thing, the
other half OF the regiment went into
winter quarters AT Laramie and Fort
Hall and only arrived here in 1850.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-06-11

In the Spring of 1850. Major S. S.
Tucker was ordered to come to The
Dalles and prepare for wintering the
men still on the road. The story runs
that the major came over here, and
singing out a large pine tree said:
From this tree five miles east. west.
north and south, establish a mill
tary reservation" have very serious
doubts of the truth of this, for what
use would he have had for about four
miles and half of reservation across
the Columbia? But the story sounds
well. The tree was doubtless the
central point of old Fort Dalles. Just
where that historic pine stood no one
is quite sure.
Major Tucker employed many men
from the emigrants constantly arriv-
ing, and first built long log building
with many large rooms, to serve as
quarters for the officers and their
families.
a sawmill was soon erected on the
creek lumber sawed and the quarters
built for the enlisted men, as well as
other necessary buildings. guard
house, commissary, mess house sta
bles and such things. In the spring
of 81 the regiment was ordered
away. The workmen who, up to this
time had been employed, were dis
charged and for few days Mt. Hood
and Mt. Adams alone stood silent sem
tinels over old Fort Dalles.
This location was evidently selected
for the beauty of its surroundings. be-
ing in grove of pine and oak trees,
the snow mountains on either side.
Different persons describing the post
in early days speak of this. There
was one very vital error-a lack of
water
Lieutenant A. j. Wood, with 16 ar
tillerymen from Major Hathaway's
command, came from Astoria to re-
mind the Indians that Uncle Sam had
his eye on them. Later he exchanged

Hathaways command, | think
