Captain Jack was nevertheless sur.
prised at2PM Jackson's men came
across two pickets on bluff near the
creek. and ran them through the Juniper
to Jacks retreat. The flying Modocs
cried out "Run quick !run quick :! SOL
diers are coming ~ Captain Jackeon
deployed his skirmishers along the face
of the bluff, expecting to receive heavy
fire His men ran to the front like deer
under the lead Of their officers. i's'n
Suddenly the Modocs conversant with
English cried out. Surrender, sarren-

peace we like peace talk" Boston
Charley, the murderer Of Dr. Thomas,
came in full view and was Immediately
covered by dozen rides. Charley Of
fered to surrender, and was allowed to
come into camp, as he feared the Warm
Spring scouts. He threw down his rifle
and extended his hand in token Of friend
ship. The proHered member was cor
daily grasped by the scouts.
Charley was then passed to the rear
under guard. and was taken to the other
Modoc captives, and by them interview
ed. He said several of Jacks best war
riors wanted to leave him and come to
our camp, and volunteered to put up the
job. s- sl--a - f'-..r
Had Hasbrouck formed the desired
connection in time the entire band would
have been killed or captured but it was
impossible for his command to accomplish
the task His troops did all that could
be done by any men. They rode over
fragments of lava. and one mile further
than the distance ridden by Captain
JACK son command.
The surprise resulted in the surrender
of Boston Charley; Princess Mary, sister
of Captain Jack, Black Jim's woman
and FIVE other female Modocs, ranging

seven ponies and mules. The Modocs
actually slipped from the grasp of the

LANGELL's VALLEY, May 30-5 A. NJ
AT NJ. yesterday the troops left
Willow creek camp for short and de
cisive scout, and met with admirable
success. The Warm Springs tracked
the Modocs across the creek, in north
erly direction, then due north, and finally
to a rocky cliff bounding Lansell's Val
ley on the east This scout from the
outset was most exciting campaign. n.
The freshness of the tracks and appar-
ent proximity to the Modocs maintained
continual excitement. The troops were
led over the ridge and bills, along the
canons and valleys and over small
streams of water. The route was trav-
eled with difficulty by the best trained
horses. and miles upon miles Of lava in
fragmentary form were crossed.
The scouts Lost the trail, and we were
detained two hours. This halt was
broken by a sudden yell from the Warm
Spring Indians and cheers from the
soldiers, and the command "Forward r.
was given by Col, Green. The scouts
were called out to the right and left Of
the line to cover the trail.
Suddenly four rifle ehots were fired
from the rocks, and the bullets whizzed
over our heads. A line of skirmishers
was deployed along the crest Of the bluff
which started the Modocs from their lair

position, and was as usual on time
Along the crest Of the bluff and down
the steep trail on its side charged the en-.
tire force of two hundred and thirty
men. m
About this time Scarfaced Charley and
two or three other Modocs rushed down
the rocks and surrendered. Five Modocs
came in at once. Hessilities ceased, and
