Yesterday afternoon, FIVE Indians and
four sqGaws cane into our camp, and
were made presents of clothing and pro-
visions by the peace commissioners. A
message was returned to the Modocs ask
ing for talk, this morning, at a point
about mile from our picket line. Later
in the evening, Bogus Charley came in
and told the picket that he could take his
gun, that he Charley did not intend to
go back any more The picket brought
Candy, where Charley left his gun, and
remained at the tent of Frank Riddle dur
ing the night This morning, Boston
Charley came in and told the commission
ers that Capt. Jack and FIVE other In
dams would meet the commissioners out

gus Charley then mounted horse and
started for the lava bed.
About an hour after their departure
Gen. Candy, DR.. Thomas, A. b. Meach-
am aNd Mr.. Dyer, with Frauk Riddle and
his squaw for interpreters, started for the
place appointed. The party arrived at
the place appointed, and we're closely
watched by the signal officer, Lieutenant
Adams, from the signal station on hill
overlooking our camp. Half an hour af-
ter the party had arrived, a cry from the
signal station was heard, saying that the
Indians had attacked the peace commits

menced between the Indians and Col.
Mason. In moment troops were under
arms and dcployed as skirmishers under
command of Col. Green, and orders we're
given to forward double quick. Very
shortly after, Mr.. Dyer returned and told
us that the indians had attacked them.

had escaped, but in few moments after

SOME OF the young ladies Of the village have
got into pretty muss. 1t seems that one day
last week they organized fishing party. The
DAY arrived and two OF them took buggy 70
drive around town to notify the rest Of the
! party In order TO have their outfit complete,
they took couple Of rods or reed-poles, about
twenty five feet long, and made the butt ends
fast TO the foot IRON, the poles projecting out
over the buggy about twenty feet Now this
was nice arrangement, and they were well
pleased with it, They started out up Kalama-
zoo street, and turned no to house on the
corner, and after giving notice, they turned
around rather rapidly-the end of the poles in
coming into line for the return down the street,
carried away the top Of Mrs. Jones new six
dollar bonnet When they got down 10 the
Dyckman House, they made short turn up
Man street the rods IN swinging around into
line, colded with old Mr.. Thompons new wig,
and peeled il off as smooth and quickly as
Modoc would scalp. A little later they reap
peared IN the lower end of Kalamazoo street.
and turned up to Huributs, and made halt
ong enough to procure some peanuts candy
and spruce gum. They then turned into the
street again, and in dong so the end OF the
poles swung around under the awning and
overturned an OK muzzle which was filed with
oranges and lemons, and which was eusp ended
by tow string. Arriving at Main street at a
rapid gait. they suddenly turned down west
ward, the poles taking effect on and com pletely
demolishlng the new five dollar stove-pipe OF
our friend Ed, who happened to be standing on
the corner by the tall brick They had an after
noon OF splendid sport, all unconscious Of the
damage and mischief they had done.

The Value Of Timber lrr.s.

The Value Of J1mbcr lre.s.
1t will not be long before tree planting for
profit will be d necessity. Al over the coun-
try timber Is being searched for, and some
kinds OF timber bring very large prices. Among
the scarce kinds is the black walnut. This is
now so valuable that in some dlst1cts consd-
cradle tact Is resorted to III order to keep down
the price of the trees and bring in large profits
to the saw-mill proprietors. An Indianapolis
paper says the way it IL done in that part Of
the world ls to quietly locate a sAw-mill IN
secluded nook and after this hae been made
secure an agent quietly goes around from farm
to farm and asks the price Of any fine walnut
tree that may be standing on the property.
As general thing tue owner has rot been edu-
Gated up to the value Of TIMBER and it s quite
likely it goes at low offer. The privilege OF
letting it stand year is secured, and at once
the buyer takes machine from hrs pocket,
blazes smooth place, and puts his initials
with the date of purchase. and the tree be-
comes his-he paying part each or al cash, ss
the case may be, on the purchase. Some
people, who read the papers, and TINS get an
inkling OF what tree is worth, get very fair
prices for the trees. The average between
those who valne trees aud these who DO not
bring the price to about $20 per tree.
One agent in a single county 10 Indiana has
thus quietly bought, in three months trees 10
the amount o, $4,000. These people buy
walnuts chiefly, but also use Up any timber
tree that comes in their way. Next 70 walnut,
the tulip poplar is in request.
