Massacre of ModocS.

What shall be done with the Indians?
has been a question hard to solve. Capt
Jack and his party of Modocs slaughtered
the whites while they were holding a
council for peace. 1t was an act of COW
aldice and treaehery which aroused the
ire ofthe people all over this country,
Captain Jack and his party were after
wards taken prisoners portion ofthem
voluntarily surrendered. Their crimes
were great, and they were held as pris-
oners.
Last Saturday, portion of the prison
ers were being escorted by John and
James Fairchild and twelve others, from.
Fairchild's ranch, Cottonwood creek,
they were ordered to stop by a band. of
white men supposed to be Oregon volun-
teers, who deliberately shot and killed
Little John, Teehe Jack, Pony and
Mooch. The Indians were in a wagon
without means of defence. Severa
squaws were in the company; some OF
whom were wounded. The question
now is what shall be done with the mer
who murdered the Indians? Violence
just as certainly creates violence as fir
when applied to fuel will create and in
crease heat. The law must be enforced
to subdue the fiendish spirit.

Public School Jubiles.

The long rows OF beautifully decorated
tables, long enough to seat nearly one
thousand persons, and richly provisioned
for even a larger number, gave some idea
ofthe labor and extent of preperationsfor
the delightful festival, given in the Semi
nary Grove last Thursday evening. by the
Principal and teachers of the Plymouth
public schools.
Much as the admirable table arrange
ments interested tue large number of our
citizens assembled there, the tasteful
manner in which the grove was lighted
by hanging lanterns, excited still greater
praise.
Sight seeing was not the only attrac-
ton. The sweet music, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. French, delighted all who
could hear it. The "Happy, happy, we"
who had a "jolly good time. not only
enjoyed the occasion themselves; but by
their delightful music, and cheerful
countenances made glad the hearts of all
who saw ana heard them.
Much credit is due to Mrs. French, fol
the success with which the musical cXer
cises were conducted, and perhaps quite
as much to the young vocalists, who ex
hibited so much talent.
The supper was a perfect feast of good
things, for those who enjoy public dinners
and pretty much everybody seemed to bt
well pleased with it. The ice cream
lemonade and coffee, were well p%atronized
and highly complimented.
Prot. Chase, and the young lady teach
ers, were too tired to enjoy the occasion
but even they, tired as they were, seemed
well pleased to witness the joy of thu
guests and the ch .ldren.

The Stranger who Wanteda
Team.

Tuesday evening, about nine, o'clock
man applied at Thompson's livery stable
for a horse and buggy, alleging that he
wanted to so to the soup meeting
Sylvester Unger, who had charge of the
stable, not liking the appearance of the
man refused to let him have a team,
which so enraged the stranger that he
attempted to give Unger a thrashing; but
was not successful; and went off; but
soon returned with another stranger.
Unger then hunted up the Marshal, and
ed, the stranger was at Montgomery'S
livery stable. Montgomery called to the
Marsh al, and then there was a race
stranger a little ahead, i'll the direction of
Westervelt 6 Cooper's lumber yard
there the stranger eluded his pursuers.
In searching for the NJ an some of The
Marshal's party found a stranger in a
freight car, and supposing they had him
called to the Marshal. They pulled TIT
fellow out of the car, and frightened him
nearly to death. When Unger came up, h
said it was not the man they wanted, bu
he explained his conduct, by saying
that he was out ofmoney, and took that
plan to steal a ride to Ohio. AS GU
city ordinances do not prohibi: sleepin!
in freight cars, the Marshal let him rest
The man who wanted the team could no
be found.
