An unsuccessful attempt was made
this afternoon about three o'clock to
rob the banking house of Decker &
Jewett. One of the robbers, named
Frank Whipple. entered the bank,
and walked deliberately up to Mr..
Jewett, who stood at the desk just in
side the counter, and presented a
pistol at him, saying: Don't you
move: don't you move" Mr.. Jewett
instantly dropped on his hands and
knees, at the same time crying gun"
and made his way to a small Enclosure
where tho chief clerk, MI. Bingham,
was engaged with the books. Whip
pie Immediately leaped over the coun-
ter and followed MI. Jewett. On
hearing the alarm, Mr.. Bingham
drew his pistol, and as the two enter
ed the Enclosure fired. 1t is thought
he shot Whipple in the back of the
neck. \ general fight ensued, Whip
pie striking Mr.. Bingham on the
head with his pistol. cutting a severe
cash and telling him to the floor. He
also struck Jewett on the head, with
little effect. Several shots were fired
within the inclosure. Whipple,
finding the place too hot for
him, started to rum. when both
Mr.. Jewett and Bingham seized doub-

taneously. Passing out at the front
door he fell at the sidewalk MORALLY

more. I've got enough: give me
some water" He was taken to the
station house and gave the names of
his accomplices as John Tory and w.
P. Winklev, alias Dutch Bill. One Of
the others followed Whipple into the
bank, but as nothing was seen of him
after his first entrance, it is supposed
that he thought the place too hot for
him, and left on horseback.

VIA IREKA July II.
The Military Commission for the
trial of the Modocs met at this place
on the 9TH instant, and concluded
its labors yesterday, at II A. NJ. The
Commission is entitled to every con-
sideration for impartiality and lati-
tude shown the prisoners during the
trial, evidence for the prosecution. OF
the most positive character. leaving
no doubt in the minds of those who
listened to the evidence, OF the guilt
OF the prisoners arraigned. The only
Witnesses produced Tor the defense
were Scar-Faced Charley, Dave, One
Eyed Nose, and William. Their EVIL
dence amounted to nothing in favor
OF the prisoners. 1t was simply a re-
cital OF what the Klamath Lake In
dams had done and told the Modocs
since this trouble commenced. The
only testimony produced 10y the pros
ecutlon which was of no value, was
that Of MIR. Dyar, Indian Agent OF
klamath reservation. He could not
swear to anything positively, except
that he accompanied Gen. Candy and
the Peace Commissioners to the coun-
Gil tent on the 18th of April. No doubt
exists i'll the minds of those who lis
tened to the trial but that the Com
mission has found them guilty of the
charges and Specifications Tor which
they were tried. The soldiers and
citizens of this place took a lively in
terest in The trial. The prisoners
were also very attentive, and seemed
to rely upon the Commission for
justice.
