BELIEVED DEAD, FEE LIVES
Former Pendleton Man Now at Port
land, Says Machinist.

Though supposed to be dead P. H.
Fee, formerly of PeDdleton, is alive
aud we'll, according to James Neagle
of the firm of Nesgle Brothers and one
of the leading machinists and black
smiths in that city. Neagle knew Fee
we'll for many years and he declares
that while in Portland attending the
rose carnival he met Fee on the street
and spoke to him, despite the fact
that the latter was supposed to have
Eeen drowned in Cowlitz county,
Washington, about two months ago.
According to the reports of the trag-
edy, as made at the time il was sup
posed to have occurred, Fee, who was
a detective, was drowned while at
tempting to cross the river near Ariel
on a log boom. 1t was said that he
was on the trail of criminal and was
trying to reach logging camp, where
the fellow was at work.
Though the missing man was a
brother of Judge James A. Fee, former
mayor of Pendleton, the latter had
had falling out with bis brother, and
is said to have made no effort TO as
certain the truth of the report or to
recover his brothers. body. The latter
lived in Portland. and his wife and
three children are still there, the
family having moved from Pendleton
about five years ago. One 10y makes
his home with his uncle in Pendleton,
Neagle says that Fee admitted to him
that he allowed the report of his
drowning to be circulated and go un-
contradicted for purpose.

NOW FAMOUS CABIN
Located On Mckay Creek, Entrymen
Say 1t Served As Home for
Sixty Homesteaders.

A Pendleton dispatch to the Spokes-
man. Review says an effort by others
accused to show that William Rahe,
one of the men recently indicted by the
federal grand jury, located atout 60
entIymen in one little cabin on the
headwaters of the Mckay creek, will
be one of the features of the approach
ing land fraud trials, according to
several of the Pendleton witnesses who
are returning from Portland, where
they were compelled to tell what they
knew of the transactions in this county.
Many of them were among the entry
men who say they bad been made to
Eelieve the cabin mentioned was theirs
and was on the land on which they
had filed, whereas the land in many
instances was from two to eight miles
distant.
Much evidence has been taken on
this point. photographs of the cabiu
have been made and there is no doubt
hut that it will figure in the trials.
According to the story Of witnesses.
the plan was easily worked. inasmuch
as many of those filing on the unallot-
ted Indian lands did so purely for
speculative purposes and with no in
tention of keeping the land permanent
tly. They therefore hired Rahe to
locate them, they declare. and then
employed him to build their cabins
and fake the other improvements con-
sidered necessary. The entrymen
would then be taken out to his claim
and showed the cabin. ''his resi-
denoe." Believing that this cabin was
really on the land for which he had
made a filing, the entryman now
claims he could innocently swear that
he had house and Improvements on
his claim.
In this manner, some of the defend
ants allege, title was secured to hun
dreds Of acres and Immediately passed
on to the men who we're alleged to be
engineering the proposition. These
are statements which are being pre-
sented to the federal grand jury now in
session by the large part of the 113
witnesses subpoenaed from Pendleton
and vicinity.
In many instances entrymen located
their own claims, made their own i'm
provements and knew what they were
doing and where they were, but the
majority of the unallotted acres of
Indian land was filed upon by men
