HOMER, Neb, Jun 18. (Special.) tn
getting himself so generally disliked by the
speculators whom he claims are ruthlessly
robbing the Winnebago Indians one of ths
richest, but moat debauched tribe on this
continent Rev. Father Behell, of Homer,
Neb., fears no violence at their hands.
"I never carried a revolver and would
rot If I am attacked I will defend myself
the best I can," said the priest smiling In
a confident way. "If my assailant has a
gun and misses me the first shot, he will
not do me any damage. I care not for five
of them coming at me at one If they have
not guns."
This security come from Father Schetls
knowledge of his splendid physique, perfect
health and athletic prowess. It was only
after much urging that the reverend father
told of his ability to handle himself against
any adversary.
"In southern France I trained three years
for the ring, finally declared Father Behell.
'.'It was then I began to study and I de
cided to give up prixe fighting for the
priesthood. When in school In Paris I
turned my attention to fencing. Maybe
there were better swordsmen In France; I
never saw any. The army officers sent to
train us proved unequal to my sturdy
strength end I may say skill."
Fighting with the stick, an Irish trick.
Is the only art still practiced by Father
Schell In the school of self defense. This
Is the accomplishment which gives him
SMurance to say five men, unarmed with
guns, have no terror for him. In St Mary's
academy in Cleveland and In St Mary's In
Cincinnati, where he was for several years
before his ordination to the priesthood.
Father Schell was the champion handball
player In the state.
Did Work la Oregon.
Today he Is athletic. Strong as a giant,
blood In all parts of his body where blood
should flow, a keen eye "always watch
your antagonist's eye," he says a charm
of friendliness hard to resist, a firmness In
demanding unrighteousness In dealings
which threaten to provoke a scandal In
Indian circles, energy and executive abil
ity which make certain success of hi en
deavors these are some of the striking
characteristics of this holy father. He
has been Mn -the priesthood ten years-
eventful years.
"When I was assigned to a parish, the
west being my choice. I ieoured In- writ
Ing a promise from Bishop Christie of Ore
gon thst I should not be placed In 'a large
town or city." said Father Schell. I can
not stand the hard sidewalks and the rich
people; the open and uncontamlnated air
and a chance to help the poor are demands
made by nature and religion."
Bishop Christie even permitted Father
Bohell-to select his own parish. A year of
travel over the state of Oregon deter
mined the priest to locate In Tillamook
county, an uninhabited place. How many
priests would have selected such a wilder
neas?" It was the only county which had
the four things I required," explained
Father Schell. "These were good climate,
good soil, facilities for reaching market
and a good market My friends said I was
the biggest fool In the state of Oregon.'-. I
proved- to them idlfferent' Later - and for
another reason Governor Chamberlain told
me I was the biggest fool In the state. I
proved to him he was mistaken.'
Unearthed Timber Fraaiels.
It's a long story about the settlement of
Tillamook county through the hardS. work
and thorough work of this priest Only the
best farmers were secured. They came
from all over the United States on recom
mendatlons personally made by Father
Behell. Some are from Iowa and some
from Nebraska. He secured transportation
facilities by appearing before the chamber
of commerce of Portland and showing
freight bills where the steamship compan
ies charged 830 a ton for carrying the goods
to Tillamook, fifty, miles. The reduction
was made to t4 per ton.
But the greatest work so far In the career
of this remarkable priest was his effort
tn regard to the timber frauds of Oregon.
It took him two years to stir the Interior
depa.Cnent from Its lethargy. H got let
ters from a dosen senators and representa
tives, not only of Oregon but other western
states. "1 meant to make them help me or
to make them harmless. . They all professed
it was not of their business," said Father
Schell, with a pleasant smile of recollection.
Governor Chamberlain said It was a nope
less task. The railroads war settling
those timber Unds with spurious settlers
bv the thousands of acres. Th plan was to
control th lumber of the country as th
ooal barons control th anthracite output
It would have been ven a more harmful

Offered Brlh t Q" Asrltatloa.
'I was offered a fortune only to remain
neutral and politicians were opposing me
everywhere. Under clerks In ths Interior
department gave me HtUe heed, so I went
to Washington. I told Secretary Hitchcock
of the frauds and gavs him unmistakable
evidence. I told President Roosevelt of
them. It was sfter all the president who
helped me. But Secretsry Hitchcock, once
started, moved like a man. He went west
himself. Do you remember the dispatches
about him setting aside forest reserves?
That was a bluff. He had no authority to
do It but lie had to have some wsy of
t ruatretinc the railroads . and others en
gaged in the frauds. The plan worked and
held the matter In abeyance unUl he could
get congress to give him ample authority
to move In the matter.
"But that Is about all. . Inspectors by the
score were sent Into the forests, not only
of Oregon, but Washington. Idaho, Wyom
ing and California. Indictments followed
fast and the frauds which were winked at
by politicians and which threatened to
cause the gravest injury to ths economic
life of the country, were stopped. It was
for starting these investigations that Gov
ernor Chamberlain called me the greatest
fool In the state to try a hopeless job of
that kind. After President Roosevelt
vtslted Oregon Governor Chamberlain sent
for m and shook my handand said: 'I
havs J iit bad a three-hour talk with
President Roosevelt; It was all about the
timber frauds and about you. I want to
withdraw, my remark about your foolish
undertaking and congratulate you.'"
Father Schell, becoming known In this as
a priest of fores and ability, was commis
sioned by, "Mother" Drexel, who hss long
been interested In the Wlnnebagoes, to go
to Homer to .Investigate conditions and re
port on the possibilities of reclaiming the
race. He has found the speculators the
