LITTLE jack CHIEF, DEAD
All Powers of Medicine Men Failed to
Keep Him Alive.

Little Jack, - famous Indian chief,
is dead of artieular rheumatism at the
Umatilla reservation. Little Jack IS
squaw passed on to the happy hunting
grounds a few hours before her husband.
The cause of the squaw's death is not
stated. Little jack death was pre-
coded by period of excitement on the
reservation. Medicine men from many
sections had been summoned to his bed
side. They danced for SO hours con
tinuously, but their efforts were useless.
A feature of the passing of Little Jack
was the effort of three physicians from
this place to gain the consent of the
Indians to administer white man s
medicine to the dying chief The In
dams looked upon efforts of the ply
sicians as unwarranted interference, and
for a time the affair had an ominous
aspect, but Major Swartzlander, agent
on the reservation, took a hand and
pacifed the Indians Little Jack was
quite wealthy, his fortune being esti-
mated at $4,000.
