BoYLEs CAMP, June 4-Midnight.-
has reached here that Hooker Jim and Steam
boat Frank made successful scout Yesterday
by cooperating with the Oregon volunteers
They traied three warriors and i've sounws TO
Timber Mountain, northeast of here, and as
sisted in making a capture. One of the cap
tives is Black jim. He is the MoGoc who bull
lied the settlers in this region for two or three
years, and committed cruel murders. The
Oregouiaas regard him with special hatred.
Only FIVE or six of the Modoc warriors are
now missing.
The Warm Spring Indians held war dance
this evening which was witnessed by large
audierce Of officers and men.
BoYLEs CAMP, June 5-9 A. NJ Late YES
terday afternoon detail of men belonging to
the artillery arrived in camp from Timber
Mountain, near the Peninsula with twenty
juniper logs clean and straight, and evidently
not intended for use in the erection of tents
Tor the prisoners. Many persons marvelled
for what purpose the timbers had been OBJ
tanned.
This morning the secret is out. Gen Davis
intends to erect a scafiold and execute about
one dozen of the worst murderers in the tribe
ut sunset tomorrow. lie feels that there is
no need for delay, as no doubt of the guilt of
the intended victims can exist and Justice de-
mands speedy and certain action even at this
time. lie is now writing out a statement of
their offences. which will be read to The con-
dcmncd Modocs.
4 still later dispatch saws.
Gen. Davis. after having CONNECTED all the
ARRANGEMENTS for the execution of the Modocs
received orders from WASHINGTON to hold The
prisoners until further advised. and is thus
stoned in the conten plated work.
The feeling in camp is one of profound dis
gust at this action.

BRIDGE PETITION.

To tile Honorable Boord Of Commission
ers for Montgomery County,:
WE, the undersigned, citizens and tax
w payers of Montgomery county, re-
specially represent to your Honorable Body,
that the public convenience requires bridge
across what is known as the ''Long Branch,"
on the road leading from the old Bladens-
burg road to the Brookevile Turnpike at
Bair's Gate. The county has built bridge
across Sligo branch, on the same road, which
is nearly valueless without a bridge across
the stream above named There is steep
hill on the west side Of ''Long Branch,
which can be made easy Of ascent only by the
erection Of bridge about ten feet high and
about twelve feet wide. A large aud thickly
settled neighborhood cannot use the road in
reaching market and the proposed Silver
Spring Depot, on the Metropolitan Branch
Railroad for the want Of II bridge. We there
fore earnestly petition your Honorable Body
to have bridge built across said branch as
early as practicable.

BLOODY MASSACRE OF INDIAN PRISONERS.

BLOODY MASSACRE OF INDIAN PRISONERS.
Dispatches from Boylc's camp, dated Sun
day, relate the particulars of an arocious
massacre of Modoc prisoners, supposed to have
been perpetratcd by Oregon volunteers. Sat
urd " morning james Farchid and about "A
dozen other men left Fairchilds rancho, Cot
tonwood creek, with seventeen Modoc cap
tives, including women and children, and
Shack Nasty jim, Bogus Charley, Techee
jack Pony, and Little John. The Indians
were in wagon drawn by four mules. At
the crossing Of Lost river the party encoun-
tered band OF Oregon volunteers, under
command of Capt. Aiser. The soldiers gath
cred about the wagon ard questioned Fair
child. The latter told them the Indians were
all Hot Greeks, except Little John, ard that
there were no charges against them. Fairchild
undertook to push on TO Boyle camp, aud
the volunteers retired TO their camp near
Crowley's On the road Fairchild noticed two
men ahead riding to Rocky Point as if to in
.ercept him. When the train approached the
two men. one Of them presented needle gan
at Farchild, saying
Get down, you old white-headed- ="
"By what authority ~ said Fairchld.
''By mine. Lam
GOING TO KILL THE INDIANS
and YOU too was the reply. The latter
caught hold of the mules and unhtched them,
cutting the harness. Fairchid, cnging to
the lines, leaped 10 the ground. Tie poor
wretches implored for mercy and begged Fair
child to save them The warriors were I'M
armed, and knew resistance was useless. They
were the coolest in the party, although facing
inevitable DEATH but the women and children
shrieked, groaned and wept piteonsly. Fair
child had nothing but small pistol, and SIX
inches from his ear was the nuzzle OF the nee
die gun He says tears came into his eyes,
and he mingled his entreaties with those Of
the Modocs in hopes the massacre might be
avoided He adds 1t was a terrible scene
one shall never forget. | shudder when ]
think what saw and heard. The fearful
voices of the women and children still ring in
my ears, but the cowaIdly hounds were rot to
be baked !" A shot, and Lutte John lay DEAD
in the wagon W it'll bullet in his brain. The
mules dashed away with Fairchild, who be-
came entanglcd in the lines. Five more shots
were fred in rapid succession, by which Te-
chez Jack, Pony and Mooch were killed, and
Little Johns squaw was frightfully wounded
The inurderers then ran away. Fairchild, a
teamster, and the wounded squaw with her
two children, came in this morning at o elk.
Trains, with an escort, we're at once sent to
bring the prisoners, dead and alive. No steps
were taken for the apprehension of the felons
who performed the bloody work. 1t is gener-
ally supposed that the guilty parties were Ore
gon volunteers The warriors killed were not
charged with murder. Every one condemns
the affair as atrocious and without excuse.
