That's Italian Love" The very

pretty little olive-skinned maiden
who last evening completed a journey
over two seas and continent to meet
her prospective husband, whom she
had never seen.
Nudo has made Umatilla county his

known here. Fer years ago he was
engaged as bootblack at the Hote
Pendleton but he quit that vocation te
take up gardening For-tfIe past three
years he has been renting land on the
Meadows out from Stanfield and pros
pered so well that thoughts of mar.
riage possessed him.
Thereupon he began a long distance
courtship. Through the medium Of
Tom Rizzuto his brother-in-law. who
was still in the old country, he be
slowed his affections upon little las

sunny southern Italy. Despite th'
thousands of miles of land and watel

BLAME FOR KILLING Elk
TO Be SHIFTED TO INDIAN

The treaty OF 1885 made between
the government and the Indians Of
the Cayuse, Umatilla and Valla
walla tribes may play a part in the
cases against George Forrest and
julius Williams who are charged
with shooting two elk near Thorn
Hollow several days ago. 1t has been
whispered about that the defense is
planning to shift the entire RESPONSE
bility upon the shoulders of Williams,
who is an Indian. and then fight the
prosecution upon the grounds that
an Indian has a right under the
treaty to hunt upon the reservation.
The point as raised. will be an In
teresting one. According to Supt,
Swartzlander OF the Umatilla reser-
vation. the only clause in the treaty
relating to hunting says "the privil-
ege OF hunting, gathering roots and
pasturing stock on unclaimed land In
common with citizens Is secured to
them" but personally he Is of the
opinion that from legal standpoint
an Indian cannot be prosecuted fol
hunting on the reservation.
Local officers hold that the Indians
are amendable to the game laws II
common with all persons and tha
any privilege granted to them by thu
government relates only to huntin'
in the open seasons. Another point
they hold, is that the two elk killet
were not native animals but ha'
been shipped in from wyoming 10
the purpose Of Restocking this par
of the country.
Forrest Is also subject to prosecu
ton under a federal law which pro
hibits white men from hunting o
the reservation, violation OF whic
IL punishable by $500 fine.

After 20 Days in Jail
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 19.-Of-
ficials at the county Jail at Kansas
City have found in one of the cells a
strange prisoner. He had been in the
cell 20 days. His name was not on
the Jail books. There had been no
warrant issued for him. There was
no charge against him. The prisoner
said his name was Thurman Hoskins
and so far as he knew he never had
committed a crime. All he knew was
that last October an officer arrested
him and put him in the cell He had
ascribed the long delay in being faced
by his accusers to the "slow rolling
of the wheels of Justice"
But on the 10th day the worm
turned and he engaged an attorney
Jail officials said they could not lei
him out since, officially, they haG
no reason to believe he was in. Sc
Hoskins' attorney applied to the cir
cult court for a writ of habeas corpu!
