OLDEST INDIAN SLAVE
DIES At GRAYS HARBOR
Invader, Captured in Last Big Battle
in 1910, Passes Away at
Age of 40.

HOQU1AM, Jan. 14.-Schickulash
Pete, believed to be the oldest man in
the Northwest and the last of the
Gray's Harbor Indian slaves, died
here last Saturday. aged 40 years.
Another Of the slaves, John Kettle,
died recently at the age Of los, and
with the passing of Pete they have all
now gone to the happy hunting
grounds.
The old Indian, better known as
Humptulips Pete from the fact that
for more than 80 years he had lived
in the Humptulips valley. had lived
on Gray's Harbor for 75 years, or
since 1910, when he came here with
war party of Indians from the
Columbia river to attack the Harbor
Indians.
The invaders, large band, came
into the harbor in canoes and landed
at James rock, about six miles west
Of Hoquiam. There they camped for
the night. pulling their canoes high
up on the beach to be out of reach of
the tide. During the night the In
dams of the Harbor attacked the in
vaders and the last big Indian battle
of the Gray's Harbor district was
fought there.
Most of the invaders we're either
killed or captured, only a few es-
Gaping. The captives we're made pris-
oners, and among their number were
the two Indians known after the
white men came as Humptulips Pete
and John Kettle. Both were freed by
the Governor Stevens treaty with the
Gray's Harbor Indians. In 1850
Schickulash Pete was guide for the
government survey party which made
the first survey of the Gray's Harbor
district.
While his exact age is unknown,
those who are familiar with Indian
lore and with their methods of fig
uring time agree that Humptulips
Pete was at least 10 years old. He
was buried Monday in the old Indian
burying ground in the Humptulips
valley, northwest of this city.

Charleston, w. Va, August "a
cloudburst swept the Cabin Creek and
Coal River valley today, spreading
devastation throughout the district.
Advices tonight were meager owing
to interrupted wire and rail communal.
cation but various reports estimated
the loss of life at from IL to $50 per-
sons. The property damage was placed
at no less than $1,000,0O0.
Two companies of the second regi-
ment, West Virginia national guard, in
camp at KanawhS. City, near here. was
tonight ordered to the flood section
with tents and supplies by Governor
Hatfield. Relief trains are being made
up here and will depart within a few
hours.
Eleven Bodies Recovered
Local officials of the Virginia Power
Company asserted the loss of life
would reach $50. Eleven bodies have
so far been rovered, three at Cabin
Creek Junction and eight at Dry
Branch. Scores Ofshouses have been
swept down the two streams, which
swollen by the heavy rains, overlooked
their banks carrying everything before
them.
More than thirty houses were count
ed passing one point In Cabin Greek
today. Many of the houses crashed
into the pier of the C. & o. railroad
bridge which had been earlier washed
out and demolished. Late today boy
was seen on top of one of the houses
An effort to rescue him failed and he
disappeared in the water.
Picnic Train MarOOned
The damage to railroads. coal, oil
and gas properties through out the
state is especially heavy. Practically
every coal operation as well as the
plant and lines OF the Virginia Power
Company are idle.
Two passenger trains. one of which
is a Sunday school excursion train
carrying 800 persons, are marooned
near st. Adams and efforts to reach
them have failed
A telephone message from Tavern
Greek at 1890 o'clock tonight, from
Howard Smith, chief of the special
agents on duty in the stricken dis
trict, was to the effect that at that
time the rescuers had been able to
penetrate as far as Miami, six miles
from the mouth of the creek. Every
thing up to that hour was in ruins and
the situation was growing worse as
the waters advanced toward the head
waters.
The cloudburst occurred at the
headwaters of Paint and Cabin creeks
and Coal river, and the torrent which
surged down Coal river swept its
banks almost clean Of villages, while
the Kanawha river rose several feet,
carrying on it's crest houses and build
ings of all kinds.
The Cabin creek valley has popu-
lation of about $1,000 persons. Adj
vices received here indicate about
one-third OF this number are home
less.
Plans are being made here TO send
relief trains into the food district.
