HOVER HELD FOR SAVAGE.
Ranchers Tie Her Up and Demand
$1,000 Ransom.

After safely threading the tortur-
GUS and rocky Wallula gap, the dere-
lict Columbia river steamer Mata c.
Hover was halted in her mad rush to-
ward the Umatilla rapids by ranch
er. The craft was carried from her
moorings on the crest of giant ice
gorge and 1t was feared nothing could
be done to save the boat. The ranch
er found the craft close inshore, ven-
tured out in a rowboat and got a line
aboard. The Hover is securely tied to
the bank and will be saved.
The rancher organized a prize crew
among his neighbors and camped
aboard the steamer. When the own
ers arrived the men in possession de-
manded $1,000 salvage. The owners
objected, although the Hover is val
ued at $4,000 and was insured for half
that sum. The rancher's party was
armed with shotguns and determined
to retain possession until their reward
was handed over in cash. Thereupor
the owners withdrew to consult the
authorities. 1t is expected the sher-
if will be called upon to take posses
sion Of the steamer pending the set
tlement of the dispute.-Spokesman'

TTGATE BURNING OF JAIL.
Mass Meeting of the Tribe Held ut
Home OF No Shirt This Afternoon,
Decided to Look Into the Burning
of live Tribesmen-Friends Of
Dead Men Arriving.

This afternoon a mass meeting of
,Umatilla Indians was held at the
home of Chief No Shirt on the reser-
walton for the purpose of taking steps
to investigate the burning of the five
Indians in the agency Jail last Sunday
morning.
The Indians feel that some steps
should be taken to safeguard men who
are placed in the Jail, or else the Jail
should be done away with entirely,
and to this end will take the matter
up with the Indian commissioner.
AS a result of the mass meeting this
afternoon 1T was decided to try the
Indian policemen who locked up the
Indians last Saturday night, on a
charge of drunkenness and fighting.
Accordingly next Monday afternoon.
when the Indian court convenes at the
agency the authority and orders OF
the Indian police will be thoroughly
Investigated and II the court finds
| that the policemen exceeded their au-
thority it will recommend severe pun
ishmnnt and on the other hand II II
is found that they obeyed the orders
of the department in locking the mer

abolish the Jail entirely.

-iving from Yakima and Lapwai ant
Thy NEXT Monday 1t is expected that 6
large number of Indians will be her'
to attend the trial and take part ir

That wood Is now more valuable
than gold IN Pendleton was proven
yesterday when Neagle Bros. were
ment OF a note they held. though they
wished wood instead. The note in
question was given the Neagles last
summer by Blue mountain wood
dealer. 1t was for SIS and at the time
the paper was issued the maker asked
that he be>allowed to pay the note off
with wood. Accordingly It was verb
ally agreed according to the machine
shop men, that Is cords OF wood at
SIS per cord should constitute pay
meut. But wood is now worth more
than IS, and accordingly when pay
ment of the note was made yester-
day the giver insisted upon his right
to pay off the note in the legal ten
der of the land. The payment was
reluctantly accepted by Neagle Bros.
Five Carloads Stolen.
Another incident OF interest in con-
nection with the fuel famine is that
regarding F. E. Judd's efforts to Sc
cure some coal. While the fuel
shortage was at its worst 1t was al
most impossible for Mr.. Judd to Sc
cure coal for the Judd building. AL
SO, the uwoolen mill was in sore straits
for lack of coal for operating pur-
poses. Accordingly a carload was or
dered direct from Wyoming by Mr..
Judd himself. It was reported ship
ped. but,was confiscated en- route and
never reached Pendleton. Another
order or two was then placed, the
cars were shipped and the same fate
befell them. Altogether five carloads
of coal ,were consigned to Mr.. Judd,
but up to this time not a pound has
arrived in Pendleton. AS result
Mr.. Juddis specializing upon the un-
Iceertainties nof railroad transportation
at this time and wondering IL his five
tcarloads will arrive before summer.
Wood High on Mountains.
Five dollars per cord on board the
cars is now being paid for dry wood

This is the highest price ever paid
for wood on the Blue mountains ant

CALIFORNIA LOVES SPORT.
Golden State VIII Refuse to Give Up
Race Track Gambling.

A dispatch from Sacramento says
of the effort to kill race track gambl-
ing by legislation in California:
One of the hardest fights of the leg
islative session will be that on the
anti-race track bill. 1t will be a
desperate struggle and will be waged
bv the advocates of the measure with
out giving or asking quarter. AL
ready unusual efforts have been made
to check early any attempt to lcgis-
late the Emeryville institution out of
existence. Friends of the race track
are busily at work and have given
evidence that they will fight bitterly.
The appearance of Thomas II. Will
liams. president of the New Califor-
MIA Jockey club. at this time shows
the alarm felt by the race track peo-
pie. At previous sessions all meas
ures threatening gambling on the
ponies have been regarded, and gen.
erallly good reason, as "cinch" bills,
bidding for liberal lobbying, but the
use of such persuasion this year will
not prevent the introduction of bill
to close the Emeryville track to gam
bling
