or 2; but since then Jack has heard Meacham
is in Washington trying to save his life, and so
his actions are reviewed in a different Lightly
then asked Bogus to put some questions to
Sconchin for me, when Jack said he wanted
to tell me something more, and the following
interesting harrangue was then delivered: -
CAPTAIN JACKS TALK.
Captain JACK interpreted by Bogus)-I am
glad Meacham be we'll. He tell me long time
ago Klamath Indian bad; Klamath Indian no

Indian he tell me ie He try to do me harm;
make my heart bad; all people see me. I
speak truth; my heart good.
Jack then subsided, evidently satisfied that
he had made most powerful harrangue and
entirely enlisted my sympathies in his de-
fence. I then asked Bogus Charley to see
what Sconchin would tell me. Bogus told
the old scoundrel-I call him scoundrel, as
am inwardly satisfied Jack would never have
fought again after the 18th of January if the
old devil had not forced him to do so.
Sconchin was evidently quite pleased with the
invitation to talk, and, bracing himself up for
he occasion. made the following speech:-
sCoNCHN s PROFESSION OF GOOD HEART.
ScoNCHN-I don't know why I am bad
got good heart. Klamath Indian he talk bad
to me; he tell me bad, tell me make much
fight; no like him Klamath Indian, think

Captain JACK then said :-"All people tell
me truth you, Mr.. Fox, tell me truth. Long
time ago think you lied; know you speak
truth now stay in guard house. I stay
good. am glad to see you, Mr.. Fox"
1 then got up and left the party, thoroughly
disguised with the
CONTINUED PACK OF LIES
that had been given out for my special edif-
cation. Leaving that stockade took stroll
into the next one, where the Hot Greek party
were confined Among those in there was
Wheam, one Of the best Indians in the tribe,
and the one that told Whites squaw to warn
General Candy, Thomas and Meacham against
coming out to talk on the morning Of the mas
sacre. Just outside the stockade are four tents,
occupied by the scouts, Hooker Jim, Shack
Nasty Jim, Steamboat Frank, Scar-faced
Charley and Bogus Charley They have their
families with them, and appear tolerably well
satisfied with their position. Late this even
