Of an act Of gross insubordination-
breaking hisgun over the Adjutants head
for which he was tried by Court
Martial, and by Il sentenced to the igno-
minious punishment Of being "bucked
and gagged" This punishment he en-
dured sullenly. not offering any resist
ance or ultoring word Of protest. The
next day John was missing, and in his
baggage, which was left, was found a
scrawl announcing his purpose to join
the Indians and wreck his vengeance up
on the whites generally.
Nothing further was heard from him
for several years; but about the year
1885 some fur traders happened in the
same region where he was trapping, and
TO them he made himself known. lie
stated that after his desertion of the
whites he lived alternately with the
Crows and Blackfect, but feud spring
ing up between these two tribes, each one
suspected him of adhering to the other,
so he determined to shit for himself.
During his sojourn with the Indians, he
had acquired considerable influence over
many of them, and to such as he could
trust, he announced his purpose 10 form
a new tribe or band ont Of such portions
Of the various tribes as were in reach.
He succeeded beyond his expectations,
and formed band Of rowing, desperate,
marauders out Of deserts chiefly from the
Crows, Blackfeet and Baunek tribes.
They were the terror of weaker tribes,
but soon found they must have squaws
to keep up their numbers. In imitation
of the followers Of Romulus, they made
a raid upon the Nez Perces, end carried
off their maidens and squavs. One Of
these maidens, Murdoch. the chief
or captain of the marauders, took to
wife, and the issue of this concubinage
numbered five in all, of which number
the present Captain JACK Modoc Is the
first.
The band, after its organization, was
known as the Murdocks, which has since
been corrupted into MOdocs. In accord
ance with the Indian custom, young
Jack Murdoch, being the first born, was
given the name of his father, and ct the
latter's death, succeeded to the captaincy
OF the tribe.
The Nez Perces never forgot the inju'
ry, but we're too weak to avenge it. They
are now known as the "Warm Spring In
dams, and have sided with the United
States in the recent conflict with the
Modocs.
This, in brief, is the history Of Capt.
Jacks parentage, as we have learned it.
Since he is Of Lincoln county origin, il
is natural that our sympathies should go
out toward him, and we trust that bet
ter fate awaits him than that which Is
now impending.

THE SENATORIAL CONvEN
TEON.

On last Saturday, at two o'clock P. NJ.
the Chairman Of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, for the 18th Senatorial
District, called to order the Convention,
which had assembled, for the purpose Of
making nomination Of Democratic
candidate to represent this district in the
Senate Of Kentucky. The proceedings
of the Convention will be found in full
in another column. Il was a noticeable
fact, that is deliberations were charac-
terized by greater harmony than is ussu-
ally the case in Conventions where there
are two or more rival aspirants for the
same position. 1t was the pleasure OF
the Democracy of the district, as indica-
ted by the result Of the Convention, that
the Hoa. Thos. W. Varnon should be
its accredited representative in the Sen
atorial canvass which will terminate on
the first Monday in August next. Ii
may be needless to urge upon the party OF
this district the necessity of Incorporation,
IN order that his election may be placed
beyond the possibility of doubt. The
contest now is no longer personal it has
become the contest of the party, and the
latter should look to it, that there Is no
falling of in the msjority. We are as
sured that Mr.. varnon will do the besI
part Of the work assigned TO him steadi'
ly, vigorously and faithfully. If there
should he any short-coming, the blame
will not rest upon him, but upon the par
ty whose servant and representative h'
is in this contest. Let not the fact that
the Democracy have majority in this
district lull any man into sleep; nor le
il breed that over confidence which is Of
ten the sure precursor of defeat. W.
have foes to contend against, who arr
proyerbially tireless in their efforts Il
win. The Republicans have not ye
placed their candidate in the field, but
we may rely upon opposition in som'
form or other. 1t may be in the shap'
of spawned, ring-boned, string-halt
old political hack, commonly called an
Independent candidate-a pirate upon
the sen Of political warfare but saii'
withou. either penant or ballast; or II
may be a wellheelsd radical, coming
rs the plenipotentiary of regular con
.vention. In either case, We must stand
firm to our nominee.
Col. Bowman, of Boyle, who oppose
Mr.. Varnon for the nomination, will
heartily contribute his energies to thu
election of Varnon, and will thereb.
demonstrate for the hundreth time hi
unfliching devotion to the cause Of DE
mocracy, as well as.his regard for hi
own personal integrity.

CAPTAIN JACK M0D0C.
MS PARENTAGE.

The central figure, which is now at
tracing more Of the public attention
than any other in the United States, is
Jack Modoc, the last of the distinguish
ell Indian braves. He is a captive in the
hands Of his enemies, manacled and IRON
ed as If he were professional red-hand-
ed murderer or common highway rob
Der. Since the heroism Of his deeds be
gan to draw toward him public notice,
many newspapers have affected discov-
cry Of his parentage, and one county af-
ter another in Kentucky has claimed the
honor Of being the birthplace Of his
father. During the time, we have been
partially engaged in the collection OF
facts which shall forever set at rest the
disputed question, Who Is Captain Jack,
and ,ohO his parents. From the best
information we have been enabled to
gather, he is a son of native Of LIN
COLIN county, whose name was John
Murdoch.
The exact date Of the birth of John
Murdoch we are not able TO ascertain,
but may safely say that he was born near
Crab Orchard, in this county, some time
near the beginning Of the present century
The reader who is familiar with that por-
ton of the early history Of Kentucky,
which relates TO Indian incursions, will
remember that upon one occasion band
Of Indians attacked the house OF q
widow lady near Crab Orchard, and IN
the first rush upon her house, but one
Indian succeeded in eiiecting an entranc'
before the door was barred; this one wa
grappled by lame negro in the house
who held him until the widow lady, spo
ken Of, dispatched him with an axe. Sh'
then directed the negro 10 unbar the dool
and let another Indian in, who met with
similar fate. This piece of work SIN
kept up until several of the savages wer'
killed in detail. and the remainder aban
doned the attack. This woman had beer
married twice. and John Murdoch wa
her child by her first husband. John
like all other people, grew in years and
stature, and at very early age de
yeloped daring and insubordinate dispO
sition. though not lacking a considerabl
amount of shrewdness, caution and low
cunning. When the war OF 1872 be
tween the United States and Great Brit
ian had fairly burst upon the Canadian
border, John, though quite youth. en-
listed in a regiment commanded by Col
Taul, Of Wayne county, while paAsinl
through tho town of Stanford on ID
march 10 the north. deserved with NOR
distinction than priyates usually attain
10, and soon became noted for his skil
and success a. a scout. While ia the en-
joymenl Of his popularity, he was guilt,
