Charlie Newell's knowledge of the Indian language and his wide acquaintance with the Yakama Indians enabled him to avert a crisis in which a massacre seemed imminent. The Indian Agency had forbidden the racing of horses and gambling at their meets. At Newell's suggestion, the Yakamas drafted a request to Washington, D.C. to rescind the order, which was granted. So, the exciting Indian horse races continued and harmony was restored.
