Indians Released in Omaha Case Over Tribal Tradition
The Chicago Record-Herald reports two Indians named Columbia George and Toy Toy were released from state custody after admitting to the death of Annie Edna, an Indian woman deemed a witch. The federal court held state courts lacked jurisdiction and tribal tradition justified the killings. Bird Head, a Ponka Indian, and his squaw were released on a suspended sentence after pleading manslaughter in a related incident involving a rifle exchange and a subsequent death.

Geyser Like Hot Water Flows From Tiny Bore
Townley struck a vein of hot artesian water at 40 feet in a well near Union, flowing 50 000 to 60 000 gallons daily from a 1 1 2 inch pipe at 174 F. A gas influx may prove valuable for illumination. Coal vein and rock strata suggest potential valuable deposits in Grande Ronde valley.
