replied that he had become sleepy
and had been put to bed. Early Sun
day morning the father heard the boy
crying, and went to his bed. He
found the child's face black and swol-
len.
1t developed from statements OF the
older children, that Mrs. Nikum had
knocked the child down and beat him
with a board until he was unable to
stand. She had then picked him up
and put him to bed.
Sunday afternoon Nikum filed
complaint against his wife and she
was brought to town by a deputy
sheriff. At an informal hearing be-
fore Justice of the Peace White, Mon
day afternoon, the husband agreed to
withdraw the complaint provided his
i wife would leave the country and not
return. This she agreed to do at
once, and upon this condition she was
released from custody.

eight children by a former wife, and

and will double the rents re-
ceived by the Indians, says Ma
jor Swartzlander, agent upon
the reservation.
1t is a pleasing development
to contemplate. 1t means
greater production, more peo-
pie and a greater tax roll for
Umatilla county because it is
a mere matter of time until the
Indian lands will all be subject
to taxation.
But more important than the
subject of community develop
ment is that of justice to the
redmen. Their little allotments
is all the Indians have or can
reasonably hope for in this
world. Their ancestral empire
has been taken from them
When that was done the gov
ernment guaranteed by treaty
to give them the water neces'
sary for domestic and agricul.
tural purposes. The govern
ment should keep its pledge.

The appointment of Bran
