THE WHITE MoDoc CHEZ. It

THE WHITE MoDoC CHIEF It
may not be generally known that, a
few sago-somewlere about 1858,
probably-the Head Chief of the Mo-
doc Indians was white man. who
had joined the tribe, and taken to him
sell. '.tor better or worse" dusky
maiden of the Modoe perS ,asion. with
whom I've lived aud loved for some
years. This Head Chief was no less a
parsonage than the now celebnted
Oregon poet, Joaquin Miller. While
reigning as Chief of this warlike
baud, probably to more securely es-
tablish his title to the Chiettainship,
and gain the fullest confidence of his
adopted brothers, the redskins. he
coneocted the diaholieal plan of at
tacking and sacKing the city Of Yreka.
California. joaquin himself visited
Yreka, and examined the approaches
and the chances for an easy capture,
Yreka then contained a much larger
proportion of floating population"
miaers, gamblers, ETC.. all well armed,
and generally of a rowing, reckless
dispoSition--iuSt the kind of men that
were always ready aid willing to
meet danger half way--in fact, class
of men to whom excitemenAof some
character was almost an absolute ne
ceSSity. joaquin was Not long in ac-
qfiring these facts, and the attack Oh
Yreka was indefinitely postponed by
the M0docS in consequence of his ad-
verse report. The failure OF joaquin
to carry out the Yreka scheme, seems
to have "soured" the Modocs some
what toward him, and it was not long
before he returned to the ''white set
Elements. These and other facts in
the life and adventures of joaquin,
were given us by an old mountain
man, who was personally acquainted
with the Modoc Chief at the time OF
his Chiettainship.

SAD AcCIDENT.--On Tuesday even
ing the wife Of Mrs VIM. Hale, of BEN
ton county, received kick OH the left
temple from horse, knocking her
senseless. At last accounts she had
recovered her speech, but was unable
to converse intelligently. She was
suffering considerably from the effects
Of the kick. Mr.. Hale had been to
this city with, probably, load of
grain; upon returning, he was met by
his wife. who opened the gate for him
to drive into the lot. After passing
the gate, one of the animals attached
to the wagon commenced kicking, and
for few moments Mr.. Hale's atten-
tion was directed to the animal, trying
to quiet him, and while thus engaged
be heard a groan, which caused him to
run round Oh the opposite side Of the
wagon, where he fond his wife prone
on the grond, insensible. As Mrs.
Hale is quite advanced in years it will
probably be some time before she en-
tirely RECEIVERS from the shock caused
by the kick.
