would die And then the hand pointed out
the direction where the sorcercr lived. Even
as the hand pointed the girl gave a cry and
died Wrestling Brave bowed his head, but
his nephew, Naye Notah, touched him on the
shoulder and said very strange thing. 1t
was this:
"snce yonder is the man who caused the
maidens death, let us go to him and let him
kill U.S."
So Wrestling Brave and Naye Notah and
other nephews set out; they crossed a valley
and came upon the sorcerer sitting in front of
his hogan. Naye Notah caught him by the
hair; another nephew seized his ankle and
looking round about him Wrestling Brave
saw an axe and picked it up and Herewith
split the witchman's skull. This is the way
they "let him kill them"
"Come and Be Hanged"
When they got home they found the squaws
washing the body of the dead maiden. And
they saw that she had a black spot just
the heart and another black spot on the back
under the right shoulder-the marks of the
witchmans magic bullet-so they knew they
had done well.
OF course, you don't believe in witchcraft;
but the Indians do And having killed they
take to their guns and refuse the coaXing of
the agent to come in and be hanged" 1t Is
quite natural Only one voice they cannot
resist. That is the grave, truth-telling voice
of General Hugh l.. Scott the "White-M Man
Who-DOes Not-Lie."
Come" he says, sit is just; you have
killed: come i'm and be hanged"
Without anger, without hesitation they
mount and ride in at his side. 1t is an amaz-
ing thing; the most amazing thing happening
in these mad days Two of these young
braves argued with him. They refused to be
hanged, because (as they reasonably stated
when a man dies his soul goes out through
the top of his head, and if you choke him
with rope his soul can't get out. Gravey
the General acquiesced.
THAT Is true" he said, land I give you
my word you shall not be hanged-come in
and be shot"
Blthely they rode in. They We're con-
demned. Fifty soldiers were drawn up to
shoot them. Shouting and waving their
hands the boys dashed along the line on their
wild ponies. And not a shot was fired. So
they wheeled their ponies and rode back
agaln-and 80 bullets got them
The power of the "Man-Who- Does Not
Lie; there is nothing like it. And when you
read of another Indian uprising" you may
bear in mind that back of 1t lies the Indians

"WHITE-MAN-WHO-
DOES-NOT-LIE"
General Scott's knowledge of Sign
Language Gives Him Extraor-
dinary Power Over Indians. s.
Witchcraft Causes Many Uprisings.
By VANCE THOMPSON


TUE norm of news values has been knocked
i on the head by the Great War In ordi-
nary times the adventure of General Hugh L..
Scott in going single handed into the Piute
country and bringing out four war-panted
chiefs would have got itself reported in big
type in the front page.
or course, General Scott is a silent man;
brief dispatch to the Secretary of War said
Successful" and let 1t go at that. Probably
that is about all he told the Utah war corre-
spondent when he rode into Salt Lake, the
four chiefs riding alongside. A silent man.
Do you know what the Indians call him?
"Secrets" of Power
There is an entire biography in that nick
name of his: white Man Who Does Not
Lie" Time and again when the Indians have
flared up into rebellion he has been sent to
them the moment they heard the great
Chief of staff was on his way trouble halted
and his arrival meant peace. 1t is because
the Indians trust him and Gt Is a melancholy
TRUTH he is almost the only White Man they
do trust. He is the Man Who Does -Not-Lie.
That is the source of his power. His promise
that they shall have fair treatment suflices.
At his word they ride in doccy to be hanged
or shot-if that be the sentence--wholy as
sured that they will get the Justice" lie
promised them.
And General Scott is I believe, the only
White Man who can converse with the In
dians of every American tribe 1t is not that
he speaks every Indian language. l do not
think he is familiar with any spoken Ian
guage; but he knows the sign language
this mysterious method of communication
which is known to all Indians. The Eskimos
understand it; it is understood by all the
natives of North and South and Central
\mcrica. And it is not a simple thing. There
are about 5000 different signs. The language
is copious and precise that anything may
be discussed in it-anythng from cosmogony
to philosophy. General Scott is the one
white man who has mastered the strange
and world old language. 1t has brought him
close to Indian thought and feeling. 1t has
made him the one man, civilian or soldier,
who is known, trusted loved 10y all the scat
tered red tribes,

Black Magicians and White

How did he learn it?
That is his secret, and the knowledge will
die with him.
I have intention of writing about the
trouble for which the four chiefs are to be
tried. 1t would not be fair. They will answer
they must, and | do not wish to darken
their difficulty. But within the last year or
so there have been two similar outbreaks, At
the heart OF them lay the same mysterious
cause. And that is witchcraft.
OF course, you do not believe in witchcraft.
1t doesn't matter in the slightest whether
you do do not; the point is that the In
dian does believe in it. In every tribe on
every reservation, there are witch men. They
are black and evil magcians. If they are not
plaCated they kill men, women, cattle, sheep
by their sOrcery. Every Indian knows this.
His only protection against them is the medi-
cine man or good magician. who also has to
be paid, So between the black magician and
the white magician life for the Indian is not
a simple thing. You can imagine readily
enough that the Indian attacked by a sor-
Cerer is not daft enough to take his COM
plant to the agent OF the reservation; he
knows too much of the white man for that.
What he does is more effective. A little over
year ago these things happened-all the
outside world heard was that there had been
an Indian uprsing"-here are the exact
facts.

Treatment bY sian Gazing

Treatment by Star Gazing
Hosteen Klaz, good magician, was sitting
in his hogan near Luk Chuki, when Wrest-
ling Brave, a Navajo Indian, rode up and
said his niece was i'll and it was not known
what had caused her illness He wanted the
good magician Ito try the star-gazng cere-
mony" and find out what was the matter with
her. At first Hosteen Klaz refused, and told
him to get some one else, saying: There are
plenty of star-gazers in the country besides
myself" Finally he consented to accompany
Wrestling Brave to the hogan where the sick
girl lay. He waited until midnight, when the
clouds had cleared away and the stars shone
bright. Here l quote the good magician's
own words:
"In my art l use piece of mica and a
very clear crystal called The Big STAR
anointed myself with the medicine called the
eagles tear drops, went out and sat down
a short distance from the hogan and looked
up into the heavens. For time 1 could not
read anything in the sky. 1t was suspected
that some sorcerer was practicing his art on
the girl l looked at her star 1t threw it's
rays down on the sick girl, and in the light
of the rays 1 could not see anything that was

and told them the girl vas not bewitched
The relatives of the grl-her uncle and
brothers-told me she was bewitched or
the medicine man would have cured her long
ago"
So the star-gazer remained and the next
night he tried again. Squatting in front of
the hogan he stared at her star. Then:
FINALLY her star burned up and l had 10
come in. I went into the hogan and told
them l couldn't find out anything as her
star had burned up. They wanted to find out
what that meant They told me to go out
again and look into the heavens and find
what it meant by burning up 1 said did

which will get first fall.
An epidemic of grippe or in

and very few escape it's ravages
in one form or the other.
Harry Fryer suffered from a
bad attack of grippe and quinsy
for several days last week but is

The marriage of Miss Adele G..
Eckermann to Harrison F. Lutte
was solemnized at high noon
Tuesday at the home of the
brides mother east of town when
Justice of the Peace B. L. Huss-
man pronounced the words that
made them one for life. After
the ceremony those present sat
down to a bounteous wedding
feast such as Mrs. Eckermann
knows so well how to prepare.
The wedding was quiet affair,
only the members of the family
and relatives and a few close
friends being present.
The bride is the daughter OF
Mrs. H. G. Eckermann and has
grown to womanhood in this vi
entity. She is a young lady of
many fine qualities and well
worth the winning.
The groom has resided in this
locality for many years and is
counted as one of our substantial
citizens. He is frugal and in
dustrious and in every way
worthy of the bride he has won.
The happy couple left yester-
day for Lewiston on a short we'd
ding trip, after which they will
be at home to their friends at the
groom's farm west of town.
The Chronicle joins with their
many friends in extending hearty
congratulations to the happy

California Quartette Coming

The California Jubilee Quar-
tette, consisting Of four colored
artists, will appear at the Odd
Fellow hall on Monday, Dec.
18th, under the auspices of the
domestic science and manual
training departments Of the local
high school. The quartette comes
highly recommended as to ability
and will undoubtedly give a first
class entertainment.
One Of the novel features of
the entertainment by the Quar-
tette is tho performance of the
double-voiced singer, John G..
Payne. This talented singer has
a most wonderful lyric-soprano
n d baritone combination Of
voices. When he changes in the
middle of a song the effect is al
most startling and people are
often at loss to know just how
to take it. This man-soprano
goes up to ID" above the staff
and on the higher notes triils
like any well trained lyric sopra-
no. The Pomona Progress teal. ]
says: "Mr. Payne rendered q
soprano solo in manner which
would have done credit to Mrs.
Porter Collins, the famous sopras
no who earned such a reputation
in the east with the original Ten
nesseeans years ago."
Mr.. Payne comes out rugged
up in a stylish gown and many in
the audience are led to believe
that he is really lady who had
been concealed behind the scenes,
until he gives an encore in a ro-
bust baritone.
The prices of admission will be.
so, IS and Is cents and as a good.
ly portion of the receipts will go
to the high school, the entertain:
ment should be well patronized.

what has heretofore been consid-
cred a citizens inalienable rights
that to authorize such search and
to justify an officer in making
such search and issuing such
warrant the legislature would be
compelled to be explicit and GER
tain in all its directions to such
officers.
Our constitution provides that
the citizens of the state shall be
protected against unreasonable
searches and seizures. The pro-
vision of the constitution refer
red to is as follows:
1.-The right of the people to be
secure in their persons, papers,
and effects against unreasonable
searches and seizures shall not be
violated; and no warrant shall
issue without probable cause
shown by affidavit, particularly
describing the place to be search
ed and the person or thing to be
seized.
This provision of the consti-
tuition has been almost uniformly
construed to prevent violation of
a mans home, except under most
extraordinary circumstances and
under specific and direct legisla-
tive direction. This provision
would have the effect, am salts
fed, of causing our court to look
strictly into the right of an officer
to search the home of a citizen,or
resident-of this state and, as stat
ed above, no specific authority or
direction is given, but on the con-
trary, the enactment of chapter
Is, session laws of 1911, would
seem to imply beyond question
that the legislature intended
searches to be had only in cases
involving other than private res
licences. 1t must be understood
that what is here said has refer
ence to private, residences only,
and would not apply in a dwell
ing house that had been convert
ed into a saloon or was being
used for that purpose.
Il conclude, therefore, first,
that no magistrate or officer in
the state has authority, under
senate bill so, so-called to issue a
search warrant for the purpose
of searching a private residence
in the absence of evidence that
liquor is being sold or illegally
disposed of therein or therefrom;
and secondly, that any search
warrant attempted to be issued
under these circumstances would
be a legal nullity and would af-
ford no protection to an officer
acting Hereunder"

STOCK SHOW
THE BEST YET
Exhibits From All Sections of
the Northwest and Winners
Widely Scattered---L
Will Keep Show.

The Northwest Livestock Show
opened Monday at Lewiston UNI
der most favorable conditions and
has been in full swing all of the
present week. The exhibits of
livestock are greater this year
than ever before and of higher
quality, something that in the
past had been thought impossible.
More than three thousand head
of the finest in the stock line are
assembled in the city at the con-
f1uence of the Clearwater and
the Snake, many of which came
as prize winners from other big
fairs only to have their laurels
plucked and placed on other heads
by the judges Of the local show.
Stock from the middle western
states is there, and stockmen al
80, who do not hesitate to say
that the Lewiston show is far a.
head of anything they h a d
thought possible in the west while
the stock shown simply astounds
them by its perfection and quail
ity.
In the past the Lewiston show
has been largely a local affair,
with a few exhibits from points
in Washington and Oregon, but
this year it has brought forth the
best from all sections of country
west of the Rockies, and even
beyond the backbone of the coun-
try, and as a result the prize win
ners are scattered far and wide
throughout the entire Pacific
Northwest and those who won
have the satisfaction of knowing
that livestock is not produced
that can crowd them out of the
money.
Weather conditions have been
ideal for the show for this sea-
son of the year and the crowds
have been larger than ever be-
fore, but not too large to be COM
fortably handled in the spacious
show grounds.
While there has been talk in
the past of moving the show to
larger cities where it might re-
ceive more financial support it is
quite apparent at this time that
it will remain in the city of its
birth and wax and grow strong
until it becomes in time one of
the greatest livestock shows in
the entire United States. Lew
iston can be congratulated on
making a supreme effort to re-
tain the show and in the future
that city will de amply repaid fer
all of its present sacrifice.
