wounded.
1t is next to impossible to ascertain the
number of Modocs killed or wounded.
Cap. Mckay reported that bis Warm
Springs Indians had taken four scalps.
This may be the whole, or may be only a
portion of the killed, the Modocs being very
careful to destroy as far as possible all traces
of their casualties, burrying their dead in
caves or burning the dead bodies. Their
wounded are supposed to be hidden in
caves. But few of them have been seen
so far.
Justice to the memory of the gallant
dead compels the record of the following
well authenticated facts: When Capt.
Thomas found himself and men surround
ed by the vindictive foe, true to his nature
as a soldier, be sought to cheer the soldiers
on to the bitter end, and obtain possibly life
for life or sell their lives dearly, saying,
"Men, We are surrounded; we must fight
and die like men, s0ldiers.a In his noble
efforts to sustain the courage of his small
command, he was ably seconded by Lieut..
Howell and Lieut.. Wright; sfter receiving a
mortal wound, buried bis gold watch and
chain among the rocks, and
emptied his revolver among the
enemy before dying. If living, he would
also write in terms Of well-deserved praise
of Lieutenant Harris, who was similarly
situated. Captain Thomas, with a portion

mutuaa confidence existing between them.
Since they were to fail, it is pity it had
not been when opposed to 8 w6rthieT zoe.

was handed over to Constable and lodged
in Bel Air Jail. A brace and bits were
found concealed near the place where the

several articles of clothing taken from his
store and razor case. And the burglar
was committed for trial at the February
term of Hartford county court, and MIR.
McClelland was enjoined to appear as a
witness against him. A memorandum
book was found among Hyde's effects in
which he seemed to have kept minute of
his receipts, which was dated September

short time ago the erection of first-class
dairy house on his property. 1t is built Of
limestone, the milk house being 40 by IA
feet, with churn house IA feet square at
tached. The water trough in which the
milk is set extending around the sides of
the milk house, is raised some twenty
inches above the floor; it is cemented and
the water is pumped in from telegraph
pump. The ventilation of this house is
by means of two terra-cotta pipes built in
the wall and extended down under the
trough to near the floor. During the
warmest weather of the fall after Mr.. Rey-
nolds had finished the building, he found
the temperature low enough for the milk
without water. He uses horse power
churn. His dairy of twenty five COWS is
doing very we'll, the butter being shipped
to Philadelphia, and realizing good price.
