early this morning, Anna Reeves, u years
old. aroused the neighborhoOd by scream
ing at the top Of her voice that size had
taken poison and intended TO jump into
Jordan river.
G. II. Burrell and his sister. who heard
the girls -ries, rushed To her side and re-
strained her Fearing she had really ia
ken poison they forced her TO accompany
them 10 police headquarters
At the emergency hospital DIT. NJ. r.
Stewart was summoned. After an exam
ination he said he had found no evidence
whatever of poison, that the Young girl
was suffering from hysteria and that the
historical condition apparently had
caused a slight mental arrangement. Size
was released to tbs custody of her par
ents.
Miss Reeves was recognized as the same
girl who had called at headquarters on
the previous day with d sens tional story
about an alleged beating received from
her father. The story was found uutrue
by the police, who threatened at that time
TO place her in charge of the juvenue

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-06-18

Portland.-John Boyd, stock
raiser of Union county, pleaded
guilty in the federal court to an in
dictment charging him with the ille-
gal inclosure of government land, and
was fined 500 by Judge Bean, sem
tence being suspended pending an in
vestigation by a special agent of the
general land office relative to Boyd's
claim that he had only thespassed
upon 20 acres instead of 4S0, as
charged in the indictment. He cre-
ated considerable merriment around
the federal building when first being
brought before the bar OF justice by
indifferently exposing checks, bills
ard drafts agregating several thous-
and dollars, and when warned by the
authorities that he was liable to be
robbed on account of his carelessness
in this respect, retallated with the
declaration that he was reared among
thieves and was not alarmed in ac-
count OF any contemplated raid on his
purse.

Cattle Given TO Indians

klamath Agency Ore.-Indlans Of
the klamath reservation welcomed
the report that they are soon to re-
ceive 1000 heIfers in part payment
for the lands sold to the government
some years ago. Indians are natural
stockmen. Agricultural pursuits do
not appeal TO them. but animals Of
all kinds readily win their admira-
tion.
The heifers viii be delivered by
William Hanley Of Portland on Au-
gust 10, and 1t is planned to have all
indians entitled to stock on hand to
witness the division of the cattle. The
stock belongs to the Indians as n
tribe, but since the allotment system
has been adopted it will become nee
essary to make a division of the
property. The fact that the bill pro-
viding for the return of the Modocs
from Oklahoma carried n clause
whereby they are to share in the
funds of the tribe caused the opposi-
tion to their return. The result is
that no. action has been taken to
bring them back to their native land.

Try to Smugglc Chinese.

Seattle. - Immigration officials,
after picking up on the wharf a stray
Chinaman, who admitted he came
over as a stowaway on the Great
Northern liner Minnesota, searched
the vessel yesterday and discovered
nine more smuggled coolies and n
quantity of silk and cigars. Inspector
c. f.. Keagey, who Is heavy man,
stepped into the sail locker of the
steamer and fell 20 feet through q
hole in the floor, alighting squarely
on top Of nine naked Chinese lying
in the hold of the ship, whereupon
they screamed in terror. Further in
vestigations brought to light several
leather sacks resembling government
mail pouches, filled with raw silk
and a number of boxes of expensive
Manila cigars. The three bags of
silk are supposed to have been taken
aboard with the mail sacks. Three
Chinese stowaways were captured on
the British steamer Cymric last
month, and it is believed organized
smuggling is in progress on oriental
steamers
