TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Hot Springs Players Capture Prizes
and All Enjoy It.

The tennis tournament, conducted
by the Hot Springs Tennis Club, came
to an end Thursday, with the finals of
the doubles. G. e. Jones, of Hot
Springs, proved himself to be the bet
ter player in the singles by defeating
Ted Hummel in an interesting match,
winning an expensive racket, which
was presented by the club.
In the preliminaries of the singles,
many we'll played and closely contest
ed matches we're witnessed. However,
not unit, the first round was reached
was there any really sensational ten
mis- played. The first surprise of the
day came when Stewart Stanley put
Richard Hunt out of the running.
Another match in this round which
brought forth a great deal of interest
was the Raymond match, which
was won aaIdily BY the former, which
shows what consistent tennis was be-
ing played, as Raymond is the former
champion of Nebraska.
In the semi. finals Hummel defeated
Stewart Stanley in very closely
fought contest and Jones defeated
Martin, thus leaving Jones and Hum
mel to fight it out for first honors.
This match was very interesting and
finely played, Jones winning out, how
ever, by steady playing.
In the consolation doubles, Rosen-
krans and Beers won, each receiving
stick pin.
The tournament was splendid sue

bill WOODWARD, INDIAN FIGHTER AND
SCOUT

TThe following sketch Of the life Os
"A. p ("Bni") Woodward, the well
Iknown Indian fighter and scout now
residing at Athena, was written by
Bert Huffman, editor of the East
Oregonian for the oregon Sunday
Journal:
To have crossed the plains by oz
team from Iowa to Oregon as q
young man, In 1862; to have been
left for dead, after an attack OF chol-
era in the wilds Of eastern Oregon;
ITO hhaye bseng picked up, more dead
than alive, from the ravages OF this
terrible disease, by an Indian and
dragged on two poles lashed TO a
poDy's neck to an Indian camp and
nursed back 10 health, Though a
long. dreary winter among wild In
dians-such fate befalls but few
men in life time, but such a fate
befell A. p. C"Bnl") Woodward, now
living near Athena, Umatilla county,
Oregon.
Bill Woodward lives to tell one of
the most startling pioneer stories
that is recorded Fin the annals OF
eastern Oregon, filled with romance
and stranger reality, as this region Is.
Woodward came across the plains
during the summerrof 1852 from
Des .Moines, Iowa, and when near
1add Canyon, in the southern end OF
Grand Ronde valley he was attack
ed with cholera and as a number of
the party had died from the dread
disease VWoodward was given up as
lost and the terrified party, fearing
that the disease wOnld cut off every
member, left Woodward alone in the
deserted camp, near what is now the
Henry Lewis place, eight miles
southeast of La Graadde, and hurried
on toward the Blue mountains which
they hoped to cross before the meag-
er roads were blockeG with snow, as
II was late I'm the fail
Woodward, then a sstrong virile
boy of IS, having bsen born In
zanesvllle, Ohio, in 1894, fingered
for two degs. suffering terribly from
exposure and expecting the end |
momentarily, as death tlsd followed |
every attack in his party. He
had no food, but scaTny covering
and was in the midst OF wild region
which contained only w1hd animals
and wilder pdians, and tbe thoughts
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-10-29

of his surroundings did net have a
tendeHcy to sweeten his last moments
to any great extent.
Left TO Die
AS It was late In the fall he scarce
ny expected another immigrant train
through, and should one pass, 1t
would flee from him In terror, when
IT'S members learned that he had been
left to die with cholera.
So he fingered near death, suffering
untold agony, and at last wishing for
the end; to relieve him.
Rescued by Nez Perce Dick.
ON the morning of the third day
; after he had been left to die beside
the road, Woodward was aroused
from his stupor and suffering by an
Indian who pulled his meager COW
ering from him and spoke gruffly.
Woodward thought that his end had
come and that the Indian had come
to scalp him.
Stranger than the widest fiction
OF the frontier, the Indian, who
proved to be Nez Perce Dick,
friendly Nez Perce spoke to him in
good English and asked II he was
sick. Woodward was too feeble to
talk but by signs made known his
terrible condition and to his surprise
Dick began preparations for taking
Woodward to the Indian camp.
A trevasse was made by lashing
the ends of two poles to a pony's
neck, leaving the two free ends to
drag upon the ground. A crude bed
was 1ashed to the poles and Wood
ward crawled upon 1t, more dead
than alive, and was dragged to the
camp OF Nez Perce Dick, 10 miles
west, near the mouth Of the Grand
Ronde river canyon, at what is new
Oro Dell.
Nurscd 10 Life.
There under the great pines of the |
Blue mountains, beside the clear |
Grand Ronde river. woodward was
nursed back to life by the kindly |
Of the friendly Indians. |
He was fed upon camas roots, couse,
dried salmon, berries and other
coarse but substantial foods. includ-
ing venison, until he was we'll and
strong, then in the middle of the
winter, about January 10. 1853. he
crossed the Blue mountains on horse
back in company with Indians, to the
Nalla Walla river. where he was
sheltered until the spring by Lat-a-
'hee. one Of the best Indians that
'ver lived in the northwest.
Woodward declares that Lat-a-
'hee saved the lives of more white
men during the early sos than any
'ther dozen friendly Indians in the
vest

been sent to accompany them to
safety.
81 never had beeen impressed
with the utter worthlessness of mon
ey under certain conditions, until
then" said Mr.. Woodward to the
writer, "but was disgusted with it
during that long trip. We had a
pack load of the stuff, but we could
not trade it,a barter 1t, give It away
or buy anything with it and would
have gladly dumped It into the Col
umbia river in disgust, had it not
been our duty to return 1t safely and
defend II with out lives, If need be-"
Joined the Oregon Volunteers.
On his return to The Dalles with
Captain Olney, Woodward joined
Company B of Wasco county's First
Oregon Volunteers and was formerly
engaged In the trade of fighting
Indians He was in Colonel Kelly's
regiment and went to the Yakima
country where he was scout and
messenger through the thick of the
Yakima war.
He was young and strong and fill
ed with patriotism, daring and ad-
venturous and only the most rugged
Of constitutions could have survived
his experiences. He traversed the
Kakima and Klickitat region in mid
winter, alone, swimming icy rivers
sleeping few hours at a time in the
snow, lodging Indians, and travelling
by instinct from one company of vol
unteers to another with messages.
When pressed for food he ate
horse meat many time during that
war and never enjoyed better health
in his life than at that time.
After the war was over in the va
kima country he was engaged by
Captain Thomas Jordan Of the Ninth |
as messenger between the |
Yakima country and The Dalles and |
'isked his life every trip in that per-
lous occupation. Hostile Indians |
urked all along the Columbia and |
Woodward slept in secluded canyons
and clumps of brush by day and
ode by night in his lonely journeys
through that then desolate region
loTth OF the Columbia.
After one Of the most eventful ca
GERS in all the history of the Yakima
var. Woodward settled at walla
valla in 1853 and located a home
tead on what is now Dixie flat. He
nee owned a claim where the town
f Dufer, Wesco county now stands,
1so.
He engaged in farming and stock
aising in the Walla Walla valley for
ears and finally in 1888 he settled
pom the Umatilla Indian reservation
TX miles from Athena, the center OF
ne famous wheat belt, where he
ow resides.
Although 73 years of age he is yet
gorous and hearty, notwithstanding
is terrible experiences in early days.

ee Moorhouse, whose photograph of .

by the Indian, and went down the
IColumbia to the Dechutes, where he
was employed by N. OlPey who oper-
lated ferry on the Deschutes, for a
thine.
In the spring OF 1854 his career AZ
an Indian fighter and scout actually
began when he Joined Major G. o..
Haller in an expedition sent to pun
fish the Idaho Indians for the murder
of'a party of immigrants on the
south side of the Boise river. or this
party Of 30 intrepid indian fighters
who. revenged the terrible massacre
of the Boise river, only Captain
Baughman OF Lewiston, Idaho, and
A. +. Woodward are alive today.
Returning to The Dalles Wood
ward remained for several months,
working on the river and in the gov
ernment service, until he again went
to Idaho with a volunteer party un-
der Major Rains to fight the same
Indians whom he had helped to sub
due the previous year. The party
under Major Rains went TO Fort Hall
in 1855 and after severe fighting
drove the hostile Indians away from
the immigrant road and made 1t
safe to travel along that dreary route
down Snake river.
Emissary to Plo-pio-moX- -moX.
Returning from the Fort Hall ex-
pedition, Woodward remained at |
The Dalles but short time when he
was sent with Captain N. Olney, |
whom Woodward designates as the |
bravest man he ever saw, as an ennis |
sary to Chief o-pio-mox-mox Of
the Cayuses, with a pack horse load |
Of five-franc pieces and Mexican
dollars, in payment for peace.
The silver amounted to about $600
and was carried from The Dalles TO
the Cayuse camps on the Wala Wal
la river, on pack horse, Wood
wards duty was to see to the pack
ing and guarding of the silver cargo
and he declares that it was the most
pack he ever lashed up
on a horse.
A sack of flour would stay where
lashed, and hides and pelts could be
kept in place by proper tying, but
his load of silver dollars would slip
rom one side of thhe horse to the
other causing the pack horse to
buck and plunge and Woodward says
lie was glad when they reached the
lamp of Pio-pio-mox-mox, where he
to be rid OF his troublesome
,harge.
But to the CONSERVATION Pio-pio-
nox-mox had been won over by the q
yarlike chiefs and absolutely refused
o receive or accept the load of sill r

ward and Captain Olney were COM u
'elled to pack their cargo back to s
he Dalles, along with the startling t
ews that -pio-mox-mox was no n

As the war of 1855 was even then Y

The local militia boys and friends
of the militia have been anxiously
awaiting the result of the recent tro-
ply shoot. Pendleton team from COM

is considered excellent in comparison
with the showing made by the rifle
team at Seaside last year. The Ore

The field and staff of the third Ore
gan infantry captured the regimental
trophy, with several points to spare.
The competition is now completed in
the third and the trophy will be pass
