with three dollars, a solid gold ring, a
silver ring of curious manufacture, and
a pawn ticket representing watch OF
uncertain value. Farris could never
have acquired this wealth according to
the statutes. 1t was plain that crime
had been committed that had not been
reported An investigation yesterday

drew a long and murderous looking

Tutuilla Mission, April 30.-Jack
Long from the Yakima reservation
came forward when the invitation was
given and made the following con-
fession: 81 have a feeling now that
] want to follow God. | have not had
that feeling very long / see you
people have stepped farther than /
ever have, so now l must quicken my
pace to keep up. / don't want to
be left alone, but desire to follow
Christ so that | will not be separated
from you. Therefore / will be faith
ful 10 my Lord as long as | live, So
that |, too, may go to heaven.
don't want TO have the brand of the
devil on me. as Geo. Waters has ex-
planned. But l desire to be stamped
with the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ as he said. This is the feel
ing in my heart now, and l am glad
to express It."
Jack Long has never been a Chris
tian before, though he has been a
faithful temperance worker, having
united with the society at Ft. Simcoe
last May when similar meetings were
held there. He is about SIS years old
and is a bright and able man and
speaker. He addressed these words
before the people In the Wisham lam
guage and Mr.. Frank Meacham of
Yakima, a college man, interpreted
them into English and they were in
turn interpreted into the Nez Perce
by Albert Barnhart, so all present
could understand them. For at pres
ent II is a babel of tongues which is
of much interest to all.
This is I'm some respects the most
unique gathering of its kind in these
quarters since about IL languages are
represented. and many more can be
spoken by those present. At one
service the sermon will be preached
in Nez Perce and interpreted into
Klickitat for the Warm Springs and
Yakima delegates. Or again, il will |
be spoken in Klickitat or Umatilla, |
and interpreted into Nez Perce, as |
the bulk Of the home people and the |
visitors are more familiar with thil |
tongue. But in the testimony meet |
