than usual and appeared to have lost the
hyena-like expression that spread over his face
when making a war speech. AS pulled out
my note book they all smiled as if thinking of
the time when last they sew me use it, when
was the guest and they played the role Of host.
Turning round to Mary, asked her if she
would interpret for me in talk with Jack,
and she said she would help Scar-faced Charley
as he spoke the best Boston talk The fol-
lowing conversation then ensued:-
THE cAPTIvEs TALK.
CORRESPONDENT Mary, want you to tell
Captain Jack for me that have travelled
eleven days from the East from Boston. am
pleased to see him and want to hear some
good talk Tell me all about the fight and why
Modoc kill General Candy and DR.. Thomas

ScAR-FAcED CHARLEY interpreting for Cap
tain Jack)-I am glad to see you, Mr.. Fox;
your heart is good and you come from long
way of. You have good heart and you tell
me truth never want to fght-want to live

of the boys in the stockade all shoot same

Candy.
was beginning to get heartily
SICK OF THIS "GooD TALK
by this time, as to my certain knowledge the
gist of his conversation was tissue of lies
from beginning to end. There is probably no
doubt that the Klamath Indians did encourage
them to fight to some extent, and also gave
them large quantities Of powder. For that
courtesy, however, the Modocs are indebted
to Mr.. Dyar, the Indian agent, who
gave the Klamaths orders on the SUIT
ler to sell them powder and lead in
tolerably large quantities. AS far as the
shooting of General Candy is concerned, the
evidence Of three white eye-witnesses, one
squaw and the three scouts is oil the same,
proving that Jack, after his pistol snapped,
fred again and gave Candy his death wound.
Bogus Charley now came up to where we were
sitting, and as he speaks better English than
Scar-face, got him to sit down and interpret
little.
CoRREspoNDENr-I want to get Captain
Jack to tell me the truth why they shot
Candy.
BOGUS CHARLEY-Klamath Indian, stop at
Fairchilds ranch; Waylakers bad Indian, tell
my friends no stop fight, fight always, kill
all ; make my heart feel bad. He tell him
Modoc Sally and Hooker Jim at Fairchilds
ranch. He say, "Waylakers, want to 60 to
Captain Jack want to fight, Captain Jack
no want me; 60 back to Fort Klamath"
CoRREspoNDENr-Why did you shoot Candy
