A Visit to the Great Father
Talked Of
FAIRCHILD's RANCH,


Messrs. Elijah Steele John Fairchild, Frank Bldde
and squaw and members OF the press arrived at
i've O'Clock this evening from Captain Jacks camp,
accompanied by Shack Nasty Jim Bogus Charley,
Curly Headed Jack, Mary sister of Captain jack
Hawker Jim and several other Indians.
The party left Fairchild's on Friday morning and
slept last night in the lava beds. MIR. Steele was
the bearer Of the following
TERMS TO THE INDIANS.
To surrender TO the military as prisoners Of war
and be removed to reservation, either In Califor
MIA or Arizona Ct
CAPTAIN JACK WAS VERY SICK,
but received the party in his cave, and they had
long talk last night and another council this
morning.
Mr. steele explained to them the difficulties there
were to contend against in removing them to res
ervatiOn In Oregon, account of the action of the
Grand Jury Of that State in indlcting five of the
tribe for murder. He also explained to them how,
If they surrendered prisoners Of war; they would
be protected by the military from the civil author
tiles. They expressed themselves pleased with the
proposition, and also stated that
THE VISIT OF THE HERALD CORRESPONDENT
to their camp had given them confidence that the
white people meant well, as he was not afraid to
trust them. Captain Jack did the most OF the
talking, and said that their boys were willing to 60
anywhere to place by themselves They seemed
to think favorably Of going South.
Mn Jo1o hot Agv
back to Fairchids are empowered to arrange the
details OF the treaty It is now safe to say there
will be
NO MORE TROUBLE WITH THE MoDoc INDIANS,
and General Candy deserves the credit OF having
suggested the solution to problem that appeared
was too sick to come In himself, but said that he
WOULD LIKE TO 90 TO WASHINGTON
with two or three OF his young men and talk
with the Big Chief and tell him his troubles.
The Peace Commissioners will have talk to-
morrow with the eight ModOcs that came in this
evening" and they will return the same day and
inform Captain Jack OF the details OF the treaty.
Some Of the party that went into the lava beds
and heard the conversation that took place during
the council are not so confident that Captain Jack
stated that he was willing to go on q reservation
out Of Oregon or far away from Lost River.
Last Tuesday morning, when was In the lava
beds and takinglto Mr.. John schonches, the second
chief In power after Captain Jack, he said they
would prefer
GOING TO THE KLAMATH RESERVATION,
where they had been before. Mr.. Steele, how
ever, says that Captain Jack told him he and
his braves were willing to 60 wherever he
(Mr. steele) advised them. Steele then asked
them If they would 60 South, and each man live on
his own little farm. To this question they on
swered In the Affirmative, and in order to be sure
of 1t he repeated the question, and they said they
were willing 10 60.
The talk over the details and particulars will
PROBABLY take some time, especially as Captain
Jack is too sick to come out and soc the Commits
sioners This sickness will probably entail num-
Der of conferences and some journeys between
Fairchids and the lava beds before the matter is
finally ettled.
