mentioned in yesterdays dispatches.
The willy savages illuminated the pin
acles of their lava stronghold with
fires for the purpose of deceiviny the
enemy, and decalnped Immediately
atterward. The officers are now salts
fled beyond all doubt that the Modocs
have left, and it is believed are now
pushing forward to Goose Lake.
inns new feature of the campaign has
caused General Davis to hold the
Lava Beds as prominent headouar-

head-stalt, and are likely to be over
taken within a few days. They can
no move near as fast as the Warm
Spring Indians, on account of being
hanipered with sQuawS and wounded.
All repots received Indicate that they
are dlsheartened, and have had a sur
felt Of fighting. Fifteen warriors
have been killed during the war and
several wounded. More than five In

command. Private Benham. of
Company E 18th Infantry who was
buried the other day, said the In
dlans dld not show themselves until
they supposed every soldier in the
vicinity of Colonel Wright had been
killed and then came forth. The
soldiers, with death staring them in
the face fired shot after shot, as the
enemy appeared, with telling effect.
Benham himself though shot through
both arms and through the body, fired
on an Indian who was crawling over
the rocks to scalp him. Bv the
soldiers who found his remains kneel-
ing beside him, and bending over to
afford shelter to his diving COM

thigh early in the days fight. He re-
NAMED on the field, and in command
or his company until after nightfall,
issuing his orders by messages to two
sergeants who commanded the right
and left. The bali was a round one
and made a clean hole. The world
knows how the gallant Thomas died,
his llttls band of heroes after refuS-
ing to retreat. but half has not been
tod or Wright. He was shot through
the shoulder, and then accidentally
shot himself in the hand while cap
ping his revolver, and still held his
command, and strove to cheer his SOL
dlers by his example. After this he
received his mortal wound and fell,
and while the life blood was ebbing
away. and death stared him i'm the
face, he raised his revolver and fired
at the savages who appeared. He was
reclining on his side and elbow, his
n his eyes fixed with cold CLASSY
stare on the barrel when discovered.
