AtPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
Tuesday, J,tne 3, 1878.

II is difficult to even guess
whether the confidence Gen. Davis
has placed in Bogus Charley and
other Modocs win be for the better.
They may prove loyal to the Union
forces, but their actions all through
the continued slaughter has been
such that our people look on the
whole "red man" race with great
distrust. However,, if they are
sincere in their protestations Of
loyalty, Capt. Jack will no doubt
be overtaken and made to "bite the
dust"

The Indians.

San Francisco, May 26.-Re
ports from Fairchild's say tha'
Capt. Jack is in the North Pit,
River country with twenty-five
warriors. He says he will die with
the rifle in his hands.
Davis has ordered the troops in
pursuit. Gillem is ordered to pro-
coed to the headquarters of his
regiment at Benicia. Wheaton has
been reinstated.
1t is thought that half q dozen
Modocs were near the camp wait
ing to surrender. The savages still
free are reported to be broken in
small bands. The future move
ments of the soldiers will be made
accordingly.
Company A, First Cavalry, sent
from Prescott by Gen. Crook the
first of April to cooperate against
the Apache Mohaves, found a band
at the head of Date Creek April
9th. In a fight five Indians were
killed and all their provisions and
blankets captured. Just after the
battle came orders for the command
to go to the Modoc country.
Reports from Arizona indicate
danger of another general war
should the First Cavalry regiment
be withdrawn from the Territory.
Four thousand Indians from all
parts of British Columbia have as
sembled at New Westminster in
council.
May 2s.-Bogus Charley, Shack
Nasty Jim, Hooker Jim, Steamboat
Bill and Frank, after a conference
with Gen. Davis, and ride through
d portion of the lava bed, have
been furnished four DAYS rations,
horses, Springfield rifles and have
started on trail of Captain Jack. A
proposition has been made by them
to kill him or capture him with the
rest of the band. Davis is satisfi-
cd of their loyalty.

The Explosion mt Saginaw.

The Courier of Friday had the
following relative to the boiler ex-
plosion at Stevens shingle mill:
The explosion took place, as
near as can be ascertained, at
about OILS o'clock. The machinery
was in motion, and the men were
all at work in various parts of the
mill. The southern part Of the
mill, adjoining the engine room,
was complete wreck, presenting to
the visitors, who began to gather
at the scene in great numbers,
most unsightly spectacle. A por-
ton of the roof was torn away,
and the jagged timbers, extending
from floors and dislocated portions
of the building, with the debris
piled up in confusion, constituted
an unseemly sight. To this may
be added the groans of the injured,
and the probability of a dozen
mangled forms among the debris.
This was the first impression of the
visitor as he arrived at the scene.
Facts, however, were more favorable
than imagination, but the truth was
sad enough. Near where fell the
base of the immense smoke stack
lay the body of q man, in a horribly
mangled shape, and partially cover
ed with the debris. 1t was that of
the fireman, c. w. Butler. His
bowels were protruding, a portion
of the skull was taken off, and the
brains were exuding, there was a
wide cash in the back, and both
arms and one of the legs were
borken. The man never lived long
enough to realize the cause of his
death. Near the jointer, on the
second floor, and just opposite the
engine room, lay another body. 1t
was that of Robert Seymour, a
young man about 20 years of age.
He was not dead, but his injuries
are severe, and his recovery is
doubtful. He was severely scald-
ed on the neck, chest, face and
arms, and his left shoulder was
completely torn off, thought to have
been done by the small circular
saw, against which he was thrown.
Willie RENSSELAER,, young lad about
10 years of age, was among The Sc
verely hurt. VIM. Buchanan was
badly scalded on the right and left
side, and was also hurt about the
face. ID. Guinan, boy about Is
years of age, was slightly bruised
in the leg. Walter Clayton, the
engineer, had his arm bruised, his
face cut, and was badly shocked.
Charles Clark young man about
20 was hurt about the head and
body. John Kane was hurt on the
arm and neck, and Harrison Lewis
was also cut about the face.

Civil Service Reform Played
Out.

The Secretary of the Treasury
makes no secret of his opposition
to any further attempt at enforce
ment of the civil service rules. He
complains that the people who have
been put into his department as the
result of the competitive examina-
tons are, as general thing, entire
ly destitute of firmness and capa-
city, and he finds that they are not
capable of performing the duties to
which they have been assigned. He
says that something more than a
smattering of grammer and geog-
raphy and an acquaintance with
spelling-books requisite a good
clerk. The Secretary has made q
calculation of the cost of conduct.

finds that each examination put,

THE FARMERS.

In several Deighborhoods in this and
the surrounding counties the farmers are
organizing Farmers Clubs for the pur.
pose, as We understand, to protect them,
selves from spectators who are growing
rich on their losses. II there is a class of
citizens that need protection it is the till>
er Of the soil-the sturdy, honest men
who make their living by the sweat of the
brow. Agriculture is the backbone to
all other business. When the farmers
fail to make good crops, every other busi~
ness decreases in the same ratio. If they
can adapt any system that will be bencf>
cial to themselves, we shall be glad to
learn Of their success. The HERALD
AND TRIBUNE is the farmers friend, and
will work for their interest in preference
to that Of any other class of men. When
they can use its columns to their advan.
tage all they will have to do Is to let it be
known.

THE MODOC

In an other column ne give the full
rarticularsof the death of Gen. Candy.
Not since the assassination of President
Lincoln has the telegraph brought so pain
fol a dispatch, cruel and heathenish in its
nature as that which announces this COW
ardly murder by the Modoc Indians. A
fierce burst of indignation and demand for
summary vcngence will DO the desire Of
every true and honest citizen of America.
Nothing but determination will satisfy the
public mind. The fevered wrath Of the
psople must have time to cool before
they can look upon this outrage Of a
few abandoned wretches for whose actions
other Indian tribes are not responsible.
1t is feared that the border men through
their great excitement will not discrimi-
nate between the guilty and innocent, but
that they may all fare alike. While tits
right and justice that Capt. Jack and his
band Of desperadoes should be put to
death, 1t should be remembered hat
there are other tribes that should be pro-
tected. We can conceive Of no punish
inent too severe for these desperadoes and
and murderers. 1t is not through igno,
rance that they thus act. Capt. Jack
knew enough of the arts Of civilization to
%concesl his ferocious nature until his VIC

EASTER,

Easter has passed and we may now ex.
pect beautiful Spring weather. There Is
a peculiar fitness in the time of the COM
ing of Easter, that perhaps without dis.
tinct recognition must have infused itself
into the thoughts Of those who look upon
Its obsefvsnces. The memory of the
storms Of winter still fingers to contrast
with the temperatures of Spring and with
the warm sunshine and blue skies, then
enters a zest into living, that melts into a
kindlier but deeper emotion upon the ad.
vent of Easter. 5i,
