The treachery in tbs Modocs in murder
ing the peace commissioners brings up
ofresh the history Of the former massacre,
in which eighteen Medoc peace men were
murdered. In 1862 North California was
disturbed by Indian troubles. The same
yenr y company under the command of
CAPTAIN Benjamin Wright organized and
broceeded from Yreka to the Indian ceun-
try around Tule lake and the lava beds,
and fought three unsuccessful battles.
Their force being insufficient for the Mo-
docs, they returned to Yroka and organ E
lied larger force, and then marched
again to the Modoc country. Winter ap-
proaching found the ModOc supply Of
blankets, ammunition and food extremely
limiteda consequently the Modocs were
anxious for cessation Of hostilities.
Capt. Wright received the ModoGs over
lures with great cordially. A peace con-
ference was agreed upon, and place was
Amounted in the immediate vicinity Of
the massacre of Gen. Candy. The con-
ference met, about twenty-five Indians
and thirty-fve white men. While dis
cussing terms, Wright gave his men the
signal, and in moment they killed
cirhteen Modocs, Seven MOdocs escaped.
Thus persisted the fathers o: the prese Mt
Modocs. Capt. Jack was then but nine
years old, John schonohin nineteen, Bos-
ton Charley and Hooker Jim two years
each. 1t is probable that revenge grew
with age, eliminating in the Candy
Thomas massacre. Some years Sfterward
Wright was appointed Indian agent at
Rouge River. He was apprehensi,e OF
Modoc vengeance. One night ModOe
chief named Enos murdered him, and hor-
ribly mutillated his body. Enos va,
afterward captured and hanged. He died
exuliing that he had wreaAed vengeance
on the leader Of the massacre of his mur-
dorod tribe. Boston Post.

Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-12-25

A WESTERN RoMANOE.-Seven years
ago last June, great broad tired wagon,
loaded with a heavy iron boiler, rolled
into Central City, Colorado, and halted
in vacant lot fronting on Gregory ST.
That wagon and its pOnderous, rusty
load stand in the vacant lot to-day, COM
memorating, it is almost needless to add,
woman's tickleness and mans des-
pair. When the wagon was loaded in
Atkinson, Kansas, in the early summer
of 1866, the owner and driver-who was
a prosperous miner, with sort of pas
sion for hauling useless machinery across
the plains-was thinking of a bright
eyed, blushing girl beyond the desert
who had promised to share with him his
rough life and his rough fortunes. We
can all of us understand how the image
of this border beauty was like cloud by
day and pillar of fire by night to this
sturdy teamster during his two months
journey across the plains, making dusty
days and short, lonely nights sweet with
such solace as never fails to solace the
absent lover. But none of us can I'M
derstand the despair which took posses
sion of the weather-beaten miner as he
pulled up in Central City, only to find a
letter from the girl he loved, telling him
that rival had won her hand. He
straightway embarrassed his mules and
sold them on the spot; he left the wagon
and the boiler where they stand crumbl-
ing to-day; and, after swearing little
and dissipating a good deal, he finally
drifted out of the mines and out of life.
1t is the old, old story. In Homer's
following pages we read of fair, false
face,
that launched a thousand ships,
And burnt the toPless towers of llium;
and in fresh Western newspaper we
find the same legend, in poorer but not
in less pathetic guise.
