I found this reference to Jacob Umiker on the blog "Cowlitz County Law Enforcement History":
The 1890’s
The frontier was alive and well in Cowlitz County in the late 1800’s. Recorded in the Commissioner Meeting minutes in May of 1891, Jacob Umiker was paid $9.50 for “7 wild cat scalps and 1 cougar”. At the August 6th, 1891 Commissioner meeting, Harvey Johnson was paid $5 for one gray wolf scalp at the same meeting that the Commissioners stated they will no longer pay money for wild animal hides killed in Cowlitz County.
