tel, Boston Charley's two sisters, the mother
of Black Jim and one maiden whose relatives
have attained NO notable distinction. They
report that Shack Nasty Frank, Shack Nasty
Jake, Shack Nasty Bill, Steamboat Frank,
Ellen's man, Hawker Jim's father, Boston
Nick and several other Modocs, have been
killed, and many wounded.
LEAD TOO HEAVY FOR THEM.
Curley headed Jack carried piece of lead
in his body several days, and when last seen
was apparently booked for the happy hunting
ground The inability of Little John to
travel at rapid pace delayed the band Has
brouck encountered and got the Modocs into
this last difficulty.
JACKS cHRoNoMErEIcAL DEMONSTRATIONS
The account of the disaffection among the
Modocs after the battle is interesting. Jack
consulted stolen chronometer, and, after
sundry gestures and ordinations, promised
his followers that they would shed rife bull
lets as q duck does water and escape un-
harmed. The confidence this statement in
spired was rapidly dispelled by Captain Has
brouck's encounter, when several Modocs
were killed and others wounded Indignation
reigned supreme in Jacks household. The
Cottonwood branch of the tribe from Fair
childs decided they would fight no more.
This resolution led to Jacks clandestine de-
parture. The Cottonwoods, numbering
twenty warriors and fifty women and chill
dren, hurried to the Snow Mountains, at the
Southern end Of the lava deposit, preparatory
to travelling to the Yainox reservation and
imploring pardon from the Great Father at
Washington
MRS. ssLrMPEY' scALPED-s1IMpEY," JUNIOR,
RESCUED.
The sudden and unexpected advent Of Has
brouck's cavalry and Warm Spring Indians
disturbed their peaceful meditations and
caused them to run or fight During the
stampede Mrs. Hendricks, alias ''Limpey"
threw her six months old infant to the ground,
in the hope of escaping, but was soon after
wards killed by Warm Spring warrior The
babe was brought hither and turned over to o
squaw. Artena also learned from the Modoc
women that the Cottonwood Indians earnestly
desired any action looking to the restoration
of peace, and would yield to the soldiers if an
opportunity were offered to them.
THE WARM spR1NGERs STOP THE INTERVIEW.
About this time the gentle Warm Spring
Indians, who were outside the interviewing
apartment, commenced singing one of their
national melodies and drawing their bright
knives across their neat moccasins, which
caused an uneasiness among the squaws and
terminated the consultation.
ARTENA cHoKUs AND DIXIE AS PEACE EsfIssARIEs
Captain Hasbrouck said he was willing to
have the Modocs surrender, and would afford
them every facility for SO doing. Artena
Chokus and Dixie, who have hitherto been of
great service to the government, caught the
idea Immediately and wanted to be employed
as emissaries. They were provided with
horses and provisions for two days, and sent
after the Modocs. They started on their mis-
sion early this morning. The results thus far
achieved are in great measure attributable to
the conduct of General Davis. He found the
officers and men disheartened by their terrible
reverses and that decentralization had really
commenced.
GENERAL DAVIS REPORTS FROM KLAMATH REsER-
WALTON.
Ascend despatch, dated May 81, six o'clock
A. NJ, says that General Davis has just
returned from the Klamath Reservation. He
says there is no disposition on the part Of the
Indians in that locality to join the Modocs
A few young men and '.hoodlum' warriors
on the reservation might have been induced
to enlist under Captain Jack had he met with
continued success, but his defeat has damp
ened their ardor No trouble is now appre-
hended from the Modocs slipping into the
Yainox agency and melting the young ''bucks"
to mischief.
A third despatch, dated Fairchild's ranch,
May 81, eight o'clock A. NJ. says:-
The latest order locates the headquarters at
Van Bremer's, whittier the infantry went yes
terday. General Davis remains here for the
present
