every person-citizen and soldier, old and
young-to his feet, hurrymg forward to the
crest Of the hill west of the camp. / secured
an excellent view Of the scene beyond the
procession that was slowly creeping along in
this direction. First came Mr.. Blair, the
manager of Fairchild's ranch, mounted;
fifty yards behind him was Mr.. Fairchild, and
further still twelve Modoc bucks, with their
squaws and papooses Never did procession
move more slowly. The lew ponies, ridden
by the Modocs were gaum and weak, and
seemed scarcely able to b@r the women and
children who were literally piled upon them.
APPEARANCE OF JACKS BUCKS
Among the bucks were Bogus Charley,
Steamboat Frank, Curley-hhded Doctor
and others Of lesser note. They
were dressed in motley garbs, nearly
all of them wearing portion of the
regular uniform Of the United States Army,
and every buck carried Springfield rife.
The women were dressed in clothes that had
evidently been used by the fair sex within the
confines of civilization. All of them entered
camp at funereal pace. The noise and hustle
among the soldiers were hushed few words
were spoken.
The Modocs said nothing. No one ap-
preached them until General Davis came for
ward. He met the procession fifty PAGES from
the house, and was formally introduced to
Bogus Charley.
BLooDTHIRsTY BOGUS CHARLEY SMILES swEETLY.
Charles is a slender, athletic, intelligent
warrior, of about twenty years of age The
man thoroughly understands and speaks
English. The scamp smiled sweetly on the
General, and shook his hand, and then all the
leading warriors came forward and greeted
him cordially. Then. every buck laid his gun
beside him and awaited orders
General Davis said 'Give up your pistols
and all your other arms"
Each buck said he had no arms.
''Then," said the General, II shall give you
camp where you can remain tonight, and
if you try to run or escape you will be shot
dead"

promised.
MOTLEY CROWDS OF CAMP FOLLOWERS.
The procession then moved across Cotton
wood Creek to clump of trees. At this point
the trailings of the crowd came in. There
were half naked children, aged squaws who
could scarcely hobble, blind, lame, halt, bony
and the scum Of the tribe. There were sixty
three persons, men, women and children
twelve bucks, twenty squaws and their chill
dren.
Mr.. Fairchild says there are twenty bucks
missing from the Cottonwood branch of the
tribe.
Bogus Charley said Boston Charley had
been killed. The disaffection heretofore re-
ported is corroborated by the Captain of the
Modocs, who parted company with Captain
Jack eight days ago.
Captain Ives is now drawing rations and ar
ranging for feast
Captain E. M. Camp arrived from Van
Bremers this afternoon. Companies E and
G of the Twelfth infantry will remain here on
guard. Captain Kingsbury commands Com

General Wheaton and Captain Winters

CAPTAIN JACK TO BE HoTLY PURSUED.
The artillery has been divided into squad
rons and the Warm Spring Indians into
small parties for the purpose of following
Captain Jacks faction of the Modoc tribe,
and the respective commands will start out in
o day or two.
Probably the Modocs are in the vicinity
of Balls ranch. II is now well known that
the Modocs have been within reach of the
road from Balls ranch to the lava beds for
week or more, and could have done an extern
sive business in the butchcring line had they
been so disposed
HOOKER JIM sURRENpEns

Another Modoc has just entered the camp
and surrendered. It is Hawker Jim, the Lost
River murderer
