WOMAN AFTER GREEN GOODS
Says She Gave Man Money 10
Purchase Queer"

In the circuit court at Eugene, Ore
a sensation was sprung when the de-
| PENDANT in the case of Mrs. Eugeniu
Hoffman VS. Duncan Scott, to recover
the sum of $4,000 which Mrs. Hoffman
alleges she gave Scott with which tC
make an investment for her, testified
/ that the money was for the purpose OF
/ buying green goods" or counterfeit
money Mrs. Hoffman alleges that she
| let Scott have the money and that he
never made an investment nor returned
the money. Scott in his story of the
affair, tells that he lost over $4,000 in
| attempting to secure some of the
green goods" but that none Of Mrs.
Hoffman's money was used.
Scotts testimony was a surprise to
the plaintiff and her attorneys, as ii
was thought he would not expose him-
self, but he told of the deal from start

planned to exchange several thousa ud
dollars Of good money for four times
as much spurious currency, which the

an al pointment with them at 4 O'Clock
in the morning. This looked suspicious
to Donahue, and he refused to let any
of ~. in on tha
deal nor would he put any OF ms in.
Scott. however, said he would risk it.
and borrowed $1,000 from Mrs. Hoff-
mans share of tie money put up.
Scott said he lent to the place Oh

amount of money nc was to receive and

BIG GIFTS At A PO1LATCH
Fortune Given Away by Rich
PuyaIup Woman

TACOMA. Wash, June 25.-One of
the biggest potlatches ever held by the
Indians in the vicinity of Tacoma has
just closed at the home of Ann Coates
on the Puyallup reservation. The
function was given in honor of the
memory of Jim Coates, the husband of
Ann, who died about a year ago.
Coates was a knowing, Wide-aWake
Indian and was one of the last of the
lineal chiefs of the tribe. There We're
| between 500 and 700 Indians at the
! potlatch, the following tribes being
Inequalities, Puyallups, Skokomish,
Slokomish, Muckleshoots, Squaxon,
| Chehalis and Bartos.
| Mrs. Coates and her deceased hus-
band received a valuable strip of
tidelands as their portion when the
government allotted the Puyallup res
ervation to the members of the tribe
about IA years ago. Four or five
years ago the Coates sold their land
for fancy figures. Coates died quite a
wealthy Indian. Mrs. Coates, being at
a very advanced age and, finding her
! self with much riches for which she
had no use. gave the potlatch to get
rid of it. 1t took about four days of
! giving to clean it out.
| The matter of feeding the Indians
e.. was big proposition. Three long
tables. each seating between 20 AMI
so people, We're made for the conven-
fence Of the guests, and at each meal
these We're filled three times An ex
cellent table was set, considering the
G
fresh meats, corn bread. hash, pOta-
toes, side dishes of various kinds, COT
fee and even cake and pie.
The Widow Coates paid the bills
and the commissary alone of the pot
latch amounted to a large sum. The
prettiest Indian girls to be found did

the serving, and the eating was one
of the big features of the festivities.
Probably no potlatch ever took place
at which such civilized fare was given
and with such an up-to-date cuisine.
The Indians expressed their approval
by whOops as each new course was
served and displayed the appetities of
gOurmands.
In giving money away the Widow
Coates seated herself in front of her
house The Indians attending the pot
latch all gathered in a semi circle
around her. Then she would whisper a
name to John Whole, an old blind In
dian. who stood on the porch near her.
and he shouted the name thus given.
The bearer of the name came forward
and was given money from pile OF
silver and gold coins filling Mrs.
Coates lap. The most of the Indians
received varying sums, ranging from
SO to $40, while no one was allowed to
go away without at least silver dol
lar This money did not last long with
many of the Indians who Immediately
gambled it away, and also presents Of
cloth and other things dear to the
heart of the untutored red man. Some
Of the expert gamblers have made
killings during the potlatch and can
live in ease for years to come.
A large barn belonging to Mrs.
Coates was cleared and in this the
Indians gave dances nightly. This was
also used for the gambling.
Among the notable Indians present
was John Hyton. who, during the In
dian wars of pioneer times. was the
fast friend of the whites, and rendered
invalua BILE aid to the troops as scout

Another notable Indian who was an

the pOtlatch a success. and presided
at every meal at one of the large ia

WOOL CLIP IS CLEANED UP
Pend|eton Reports the Sale Of
10000 Pounds

PENDLETON, June 25.-Through
deal that has just been completed the
Cunningham Sheep & Land company
has sold it's wool clip to Messrs.
Greene and Smith, representatives OF
Koshland & Co. The clip amounted
to 10000 pounds and the price paid
was IS IL cents.
Owing to the fact that part of their
wool had become wet the Cunningham
company did not have it's wool offered
at the recent sales day, and the price
offered then for the damaged portion
was considered unsatisfactory. In or
der to ascertain the exact value of
the clip it was decided by the COM
pany to have the wool secured here
and sell it upon secured basis. This
was done with the dampened portion
of the clip, and the shrinkage was
found to be So IL per cent which was
less than what had been estimated
by the buyers. The entire clip
was then sold to Messrs. Greene and
Smith at a price that was equivalent
Through having their wool secured
the Cunningham people secured about
two cents more per pound on half their
clip than they would have gotten
otherwise. AS a result they favor the
proposition of securing the wool be-
fore selling when there is much doubt
as to the shrinkage. Through the
fact that there is a securing mill here
it is possible for growers to do this
and the plan works to the mutual
benefit of both the grower and the mill
With the sale of the CUNNINGHAM
clip the last of the big clips of the
county passed from the hands of the
growers, and there is now practically
no wool left in the hands of local
growers.
Tn the WallOwa country there is
about 100000 pounds still unsOld ac-
cOrding to Charles H. Greene while
about 100000 pounds is awaiting sale
at ShanikO.

For the present there is no solution
Of the local problem. 1t may have to
wait until more equipment can be
added to the service. That Is one or
the reasons why the solution cannot

the solution of the harder question,

action would soon be taken. This
would mean quick development both

 Another car jumped the track on Bank street this morning. and again it was at the corner of James street. It was the first car coming down that left the rails, where so many have already bolted. The car went banging into the curb and the front end of the rolling stock was damaged. The curve at the corner of Bank and James streets has been for a long time hoodOo for trolley cars and if a mo- torman tries to take it with much speed he is pretty sure to get his car off the rails. The car this morning was pulled back on the rails by the car. Patrick McNamara says it is positive sign that the trolley cars are bound to go up James street.

THE POLICE COURT.
Man Charged With Assault and Case
 Continued Until To.Morrow.

NichOla Scopetta of Scovill street was arrested Saturday evening on the complaint of Vincent Iaculine of 90 North Elm street for alleged attempt to criminally assault Gaetano, Iacu- limos ten year old daughter
 While Scopetta was waiting with the officer for the police patrol he was surrounded by mob and ran danger of being badly injured. Now he threatens laculine with suit for damages for false Imprisonment and arrest, declaring that there was no foundation on which Iaculino could base such a complaint.
 At all events the matter was call ed in the city court to-day and in the absence of the accused his bond of $500 was called. But his absence is said to have been due to misunder- standing. He was to be represented by Attorney Guilfoile and it was said that the lawyer understood the case was to go over to Wednes0. Scopetta was present a short time be- fore court opened. All of the state S witnesses were present. They consist of a number of small boys and an ol, man.
 The attempted assault is said to have taken place in a room over the grocery store near the engine house on Scovill street. Frank Pope of Canal street was Iaculines bonds man. The latter will undoubtedly be heard of in the city court again to- morrow. The accused will be on hand and the matter adjusted. It is not likely that he will take any action against Iaculine until the case against himself is disposed of in the city court at all events.
