INDICTMENT
FOR METCALF
CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
WITH INTENT TO MURDER
Echo's Too-Wideopenness May Re-
suit in Other Indictments, Al
though Most of the Gamblers I'm
der Pledge to Abstain Have Kept
Their Promise-Metcalf Is at
Large Headquarters in Hotel
Echo.

Ed Metcalf, the gambler and in
surance agent who did some wild
shooting in the barroom of the Flo
tel Echo several days ago, he's been
indicted by District Attorney Phelps
for assault with intent to kill, and is
now being sough; for by the sheriff.
Metcalf, fearing further trouble from
the law, left E,no some time We'd
liNsday night, and his whereabouts
are OF now known
District Attorney Phelps went to
Echo yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of investigating the school,
ing affair and the things that led up
to 1t. AS result of his visit other
indictments, aside from the one
against Metcalf are liable to follow.
When the bunch of Echo gamblers
were before the circuit court not
long ago each and every man prom
ised faithfully that he would hence
forth forego gambling as a profess
sion. This promise the district at
torney says most of the men have
kept. However the proprietor of
the Hote! Echo, NJ. H. Gillette, was
in the east at the time, and as he has
not yet returned, his case did not
come up with the others. His place
is now being conducted by a broth
er who has appeared to regard the
hotel as exempt from the anti
gambling statute because the pro-
prietor has not yet been tried.
On his visit to Echo Mr.. Phelps
discovered that Metcalf had been
conducting a gambling game in one
Of the rooms of the hotel. The room
used was adjoining the bar and was
In the nature of "gentleman's
club" 1t was called an insurance Of
flee by Metcalf, but the furniture
discovered there by the district at
torney consisted of q half dozen
chairs, large round table, which in
stead of being covered with insur-
ance policies, was adorned with polk
er chips and cards 1t was in this
room that an extended game had
been conducted the night of the re-
cent shooting and the trouble arose
out of a quarrel between Metcalf and
Banistcr at the close of the game.
In view of Metcalf's habits as dis
closed to the district attorney an in
formation charging him with gam
bling has also been filed against
him.
In the effort that is being made to
prevent gambling at Echo the work
Of the state officials is said to be
hampered by the policy of the local
government of the little town, which
is in favor of an open town.

Miraculous Escape of 90 Passengers
Near Dixie.

Walla Walla, March 22.-Several
persons were slightly injured, one
passenger coach, one baggage and
mail car and one box car rolled down
a 50-foot embankment and about $50
feet of track demolished in a wreck
on the w. & C. r. passenger and
freight train No. 2. near Dixie last
night. The cause of the wreck is un
known, but it is thought that a defec-
tive truck on one of the box cars in
the train was the cause.
The train is the regular mixed train
running from Dayton to Walla Walla
due here about O'Clock in the even
ing. About 90 passengers were in the
coach at the time 1t left the rails,
and it is considered almost a miracle
that no one was killed or at least Sc
verely injured, but with the exception
of some of the passengers being slight
ly bruised and badly frightened there
was no harm done. The wreck occur
red at about $3.50 p. m. and the first
relief train left this city at Gas, re-
turning at about 8 o'clock with the
passengers.

tle-Increase Adjoins Umatilla Res
eryation-Seventy-One Thousand
Acres Added.

That the additional territory at
tached to the Wenaha forest reserve
in Umatilla county may be allotted to

men in this city early in April. While
the exact date of the meeting has not
yet been decided upon 1t will early in
the month, as 1t is desired to allot

Seven thousand additional sheep will
probably be allowed to nibble govern
serve during the coming summer as a
result of the proclamation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt made March l, by
which he added 1900 acres to the
reserve.
Cattlemen will not be affected so
much because although 800 additional
"beeves" will be allowed on the parts
of four townships added to the re-
serve the cattlemen have not yet taken
advantage of all that was allowed
them on the original reserve.
According TO the RECORDS III tile ol-
flee of Supervisor ]. NJ. Schmitz, graz
ing privileges have so far been grant
ed to cattle owners to pasture 12,500
animals, while 10000 may be pas
tured on the original reserve.
The land added to the reserve is all
in the southwestern corner and for
IS miles touches the Umatilla Indian
reservation. 1t comprises parts of
townships /, 2 and 3 north, and one
sixth, range 36, east of the VILLAIN
ette meridian and Is all in Oregon. 1t
increases the extent of the Wenaha
reserve by approximately one-tenth.

York 9hy Calhoun, president of the
United Railroads, has given impetus
to the movement TO have declared
invalid the franchise and permits

were br'bed, is being commented on
significantly. Calhoun refused to
say whether or not he paid any
bribe money to Ruef.
