Steamboat Frank, who had just returned
from scout after the three or four
missing Modocs, were taken to the tent
occupied by the women for interview
ing purposes. Hooka Jim was identi-
fed by Mrs. Boldly as one of the Indi-
ans concerned in the massacre. He
was questioned about the robbery. He
said Long Jim took long purse con-
tanning $500, and he took short purse.
The women here became excited. They
lost all control over their feelings, be-
gan crying and started in for desperate
work. Mrs. Schira drew pistol and
started for Steamboat Frank, and Mrs.
Boldly drew knife and dashed at
Hooka Jim. General Davis stepped
in at this moment, and secured both
weapons. During the struggle the
General received slight cut in the
palm of the hand and near the thumb.
Hooka Jim and Steamboat Frank stood
like statues. Neither of them spoke or
offered to resist.
1t gals Jack and his comrades to see
Hooka Jim and Frank travelling to and
fro ut will and armed at that, for he
knows that these worthless have been
equally guilty with himself. He does
not understand the result of turning
States evidence. This afternoon he
became greatly agitated, and gave vent
to his rage in a fiery Grafton. He rose
in his chains with Sconchin, and in a
strange and impressive manner recited
his grievances. The purport of what
he said is told by Scar-faced Charley
''He is mad" said Charley, to see
that the white man no serve all alike"
while Jack was in the midst of pero-
ration, and his fellow captives were
warming into sympathy with him, the

ALBANY, N. Y, June 10.-The Court
of Appeals were unanimous in opinion
in granting Stokes new trial.
Washington special says, the friends
of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, here
stated that in view of the wide currency
given to the scandal If his private life
he has been adviccd to resign. The
argument used is that while change of
his name will not invalidate his claim
to a seat in the Senate, and although
his present anamolous domestic rela-
tons may not he sufficient ground for
expulsion, still it is advisable that the
State Of Oregon should not be repre-
scented by Senator whose influence
will he paralyzed by the misfortunes
which surround him. 1t is not believed,
however, that Mitchell will resign, but
will endeavor to make as plausible
statement as possible consistent with
the charges made against him.
