Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-05-24

eight hours and fifty minutes, we learn
that the Hot Creek band were brought
in by Fairchild's party and surrendered
to General Davis, apparently uncondit-
iOnal, and gave up their arms and were
put under guard. The band numbered
fifty-five men, women and children, in
Guiding fifteen warriors, among this
number are Bogus Charley, Shack Nasty
Jim, Curley Head, Doctor Frank and
others, the best fighting men Captain
Jack had. Boston Charley is believed
to be killed and Hooker Jim is hunting
him. 1t is supposed there are no war
riors with Captain Jack, whose where
abouts is unknown, although it is sup
posed he is in the Hot river mountains.
General Gillem has been superseded.
General Wood and Harde, General Gill
lem, Lieutenant Rockwell and others
are expected from the front this eve
ming, when we will probably have
further particulars of the surrender.
Mccoy says that General Davis was
very bluff with the Indians, and gave
them to understand that if they at
tempted to escape they would be shot by
the guard.
A. B. Meacham, of the peace commits
sion, arrived this morning from Salem,
Oregon. The object of his visit, has not
| transpired.
The following are the particulars of
| the surrender:
FAIRCHILD's RANCHE, May %, p.
NAT one o'clock this evening One
| Eyed Dixie returned to General. ..Dayis's
headquarters, his slashing pace horse
being completely blown. He made his
obeisance at once, and let his tongue
loose, and reported the Indians close at
hand ready to enter the camp under es-
cort. All they asked was for Fairchild
to come out to them, and 40 soldiers
need come. The presence of Fairchild
would be considered guarantee of good
faith.
"Where is Artena?" asked General
Davis.
"Tied up" said Dixie.
A long ride, no water, and the alb
sence of ATtena, gave rise to suspicious
of fonl play, which were only dispelled
by her sudden advent. She, too, reined
her foaming Cayuse before General Da-
Wis, and said that the Indians were hOv-
ering about the hills near here, and
yearned for a surrender to the Typee.
Fairchild, Blair and two employees, the
former being acquainted with the In
dians, mounted steeds, and at the re-
quest of General Davis, started with
Dixie.
FAIRCHILD's RANCHE, May %, 6 p.
m.-"Here they come" was the cry
that startled the camp a few moments
since. and brought every person, citizen,
soldier, old and young, to his feet, hHr-
rying forward to the crest of the hill
west of the camp, which secured an ex-
i oil ont 6 h.
The procession was slowly creeping
in this direction. First came Mr.. Blair,
manager of Mr.. Fairchild's rancho,
mounted. Fifty yards behind him was
Mr.. Fairchild; still further, twelve Mo-
doc bucks, squaws and papooses. Never
did procession move more slowly.
The few ponies ridden by the Modocs
were gaunt and week, and seemed
scarcely able to bear the women and
children, who literally piled upon them.
The bucks embraced Bogus Charley,
Steamboat Frank, CurIy-headed Doctor
and Others of less note. They were
dressed in motley garbs, and nearly all
wore portions of the regular uniform of
the United States army. Every buck
carried a Springfield rifle. The women
were dressed in clothes that had evil
IDENTIFY been used by the fair sex within
the confines ofcivilization. All entered
camp at funeral pace. The noise and
hustle among the soldiers was hushed,
and but few words were spoken.
The hlOdOcs said nothing; no one
approached them until General Davis
came forward. He met the procession
fifty PAGES from the house, and was for
mally introduced to Bogus Charley, who
is a slender, athletic, intelligent war
riOr, and speaks and thoroughly under
stands English. The scamp smiled
sweetly on the general, shook his hand,
and then all the leading warriors came
forward and greeted him cordially.
Next every buck laid his gun beside
him and awaited orders. General Da-
Wis said: "Give up your pistols and all
your other arms" Each buck said he
had no arms, when the general said: az
shall give you a camp where you may
remain tonight. If you run or try to
escape you will be shot dead" The or
der was explained to all, and obedience
was promised. The procession then
moved across Cottonwood creek to a
clump of trees. At this point the rest
of the crowd came in. There were
half-naked children, aged squaws who
could scarcely hobble-the blind, lame
and halt, being the scum of the tribe.
There were sixty-three persons in all
twelve bucks, twenty squaws, and their
children. Mr.. Fairchild says there are
twenty bucks missing from the Cotton
wood branch tribe. Bogus Charley said
that Boston Charley killed Hooker Jim.
The disaffection heretofore reported is
corrobOrated by the captured Modocs,
who parted company with Captain Jack
eight days ago. The captives are now
drawing rations and arranging for q
feast. Captain E. NJ. Camp arrived
from Van Bremer's this afternoon.
Companies E and G of the Twelfth in
fantry, will remain here as a guard.
CAPTAIN Kingsbury is in command of
company +. General Wheaton and
Captain Winters reached here this morn
ing. The artillery has been divided into
squadrons, the Warm Springs also, for
the purpose of following Captain Jacks
faction of the Modoc tribe, and their re-
spective commands will start out in a
day or two. S. a. Clarke, the New York
Times correspondent, and parties from
Balls rancho, report seeing signs on the
roads, and it is probable that Modocs are
in that vicinity now. 1t is well known
that MOdocs have been within reach of
the road from Balls rancho to the Lava
bed for week, and an extensive busi-
ness in the butchering line has been dis
posed of.
p.m.-Another Modoc has Just en-
tered camp and surrendered. His name
is Hooker Jim, the Lost river murderer.
The Raid on the KiekapOes.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The secre-
| tarY of war has received telegram from
General Sheridan, at Chicago, in rela-
ton to the raid of Colonel Mackenzie on
the camp of the Kickapoo and Lipen In
dians, on the eighteenth instant, about
eighty miles from Fort Clark, Texas.
| The Indian loss was nineteen killed and
| two wounded of the former, and the
chief of the Lipens and forty-one women
and children captured, besides two viii
lages with their accumulated property
destroyed. Colonel Mackenzie's loss was
three men wounded-One mortally, The
dispatch says nothing about the fight
taking place on Mexican territory.
A dispatch received at the war de-
partment from General Custar, dated
Fort Randall, Dakota, May IA, contains
the following statement: "Fall is the
guide sent me from Fort Randall and
he reports positively that two hundred
warriors and young men belonging to
the Yankton agency left their reserva-
ton few days ago to join the hostile
bands of the upper Missouri, and that
the Indians viii muster five thousand
warriors in the field this summer.
