al they asked was that Fairchild
should come out and meet them.
No soldiers need come. The pres

cred a guarantee Of good faith.
. One-eyed Dixie's actions and the
absence Of Artena gave rise 70 sns-
picions Of foul play, which were
only dispelled BY her sudden ad-
vent. She, too, refined a foaming
cayrse before Gen. Davis, and said
the Indians were lowering about

Clair and two or three others with
whom the Indians were acquainted
mounted swift steeds, al the re-
quest Of Gen. Davis, and started
With Dixie.
The intended surrender Of
the Indians spread rapidly through
the camp. The soldiers and Warm
Springs scouts are elated al the
prospect Of a peaceful victory.
Dixie told Gen. Davis before she
started hat the Modes feared the
SELLERS would xiii them the instant
they entered the camp. She was
told that the government did not
intend 10 trihe any longer. She
might 20 10 the Modocs, not accord
ing TO her own wishes, but she must
leave the camp. The Great Tybee
wanted 10 squaws about here.
She saw the point Of the argu-
ment and no longer hesitated.

which brought every person-citi-
zen, soldier, Old or young-to his
feet. The bucks embraced Bogus
Charlie, Steamboat Frank, Curly

note, and were dressed in motley
garbs. No one approached them
until Gen. Davis came forward. He
met the procession fifty PAGES from

introduced TO Bogus Charley.

stands English. The scamp smiled
sweetly Oh the General, shook his
hand and then all the leading war
riors came forth and greeted him
cordially. Next every buck laid
his gun beside him and awaited Or
ders. Gen. Davis said "Give up
your pistols and all your other
arms" Each buck said he had no
arms. "Now, then" said the Cen
eral, II shall give you a camp where
you can remain tonight. III you
try TO run or escape you viii be
shot dead" The order was ex-
planned TO all and obedience prom

across Cottonwood Creek to clump
