Scar-fnccd Charley Not Killed-Evidence
Position Hastily.
3 ee sEN SAN FRANCISCO April %, 1879.
The regular courier from the front arrived ut
Yreka this morning. Some OF the volunteers who
escorted Eugene Hovey's remains to town had
talk with Fairchild, and ascertained that
sCAR-FACED CHARLEY WAS NOT KILLED,
the body supposed to be his being that OF Shack
Nasty Frank. Schonchin was not killed by Mr.
Meacham, but only wounded in the breast. He
was killed by shell, and the whole of his body
below the breast torn to pieces Another young
Modoc named watchnatate was recognized among
the dead. The shell that killed schonchin and
others was picked up by watchnatate before it ex-
ploded. From the way things looked in the cave
the finding Of ammunition, provisions and other
articles, it was evident that
THE INDIANS LEFT IN A HURRY,
no doubt supposing that their stronghold would
be blown up. The tracks OF at least seven Indians
have been seen between Falrchild's place and
Lower Klamath Lake. Many persons are Of the
opinion that small parties OF Modocs will raid
around the country to obtain good horses while
keep the soldiers busy there.

ers and the War.
AT THE FRONT, April 90 NJ.
The cavalry have returned. They failed to dis
cover any signs Of an Indian trail. DR.. Cabaneso
has returned from the lava beds. He reports that
two squaws have been captured. An old squaw
was brought in yesterday and shown Schonchin's
head, and she said it was his head. Colonel Perry
travelled about eighty miles, making
CIRCUIT OF THE LAVA BEDS.
He saw no Indians. The Warm Spring Indians
win soon be on the trail Of the rambling Modocs
who bothered the troops tonight.
DR.. Cabaneso was along the line during the day
0fthe light, and says he counted twelve warriors
slain. How many were buried no one knows.
MoGocs were seen to-day from the lookout at the
signal station.
MoDoCs INTERPRETING COMMUNICATIONS.
Mr.. Ticknor started to-day with the express for
Unkvie, but he saw a party of Indians and had
10 turn back. Two Modocs are supposed to have
been killed in the fights ofyesterday.
MoDoc sYMPArHTzERs.
There is much speculation in regard to the
M0docs gaining aid from other tribes. 1t is posi-
ble that all the tribes except tho Warm Spring
indians sympathlze with Captain Jack, but they
are satisfied that to aid him means determination.
THE PITT RIVER INDIANS
will not be likely to join Jack unless he forces them
They are o miserable set, and have become so de-
moralized over the many severe chastisements by
General Crook that they have lost ali courage to
eight the whites. The Snake Creeks about Eau
River are. mean set and really belong to the
Flutes.
THE SNAKES AND FLUTES, rM
who roam about Goose Lake and further north are
northern reservation in Idaho and oregon, they
are constantly prowling around the section COM
prising Goose Lake, Chewean and other valleys in
Eastern Oregon Northern Nevada and southern
idaho. The Shastas scarcely number half dozen
warriors. They have always been bitter enemies
OF the Modocs.
THE SCOTT VALLEY AND KLAMATH RIVER INDIANS,
although sought for aid, have never shown the
least disposition to take stock in Captain Jacks
crusade. The Indians hereabout and throughout
Scott Valley are well posted on the movements Of
~he Modocs.
SIGNAL FIRES
have been reported on some OF the hills in Scott
Valley, but whether they are signals of the Modocs
OF net 1t is not known.
