MORE MOD0OS.
Capt. Jack and 33 Modes Attacks the 4. s..
Army-savages Routed after Des.
peIRte Fighting

New York, May Dispatches from San
Francisco of the 18th state that couriers from
the Lava Beds bring news that Capt. Has
brouck's command was attacked by party of
Modocs. Four Soldiers and one Warm Spring
Indian were killed, and six soldiers and one
Warm Spring Indian wounded. The attack
was sudden and the troops taken completely
by surprise. After the first fire of the Ma
docs Capt Hasbrouck rallied his men and
charged. The Modocs retreated to the woods
scattering in all directions. Several volleys
were fired upon them but it is not known
whether any were killed. The troops cap
tured % horses belonging TO the Modocs.
Capt. Hasbrouck also captured six boxes of
carbine cartridges which were captured by
the Indians a short time ago. ThiIty-three
Modocs were in the attack. commanded by
Capt. Jack, who wore the uniform of Cen
eral Candy.
When the last courier left Gen. Davis
camp the troops were between the lava beds
and the Modocs, who were entirely out of
their lava strongholds. Artillery will be
moved to the site of the lake TO prevent the
Modocs returning to the lava beds, and the
balance OF the troops will Immediately follow
and exterminate them.
II is the opinion of Capt. Hasbrouck that
the Modocs are almost entirely out Of ammu-
milton.

THE INDIANS.
Gathering Opposite Edwinton-A Dash upon
Fort Abraham Lincoln Repulsed by
Troops and Rec Scouts

EDwINToS, DAcoTA TER, (N.P Crossing Mo River,
May IL, 1873
The Sioux for the past few days have been
making themselves quite numerous on the
west side of the river at this point, about Fort
Abraham Lincoln. On the Sth about 100 made
a dash upon the Fort, approaching to within
seventy yards. They were repulsed by the
troops, and the Rec Scouts, the latter being
friendly and in active service as scouts. Los
ses Of horses on the part of the government
we're light; no lives lost. This lot of Sioux
make their encamPment in the Heart River
Valley, few miles above the Fort, and are
seen almost daily about the Fort. The scouts
are kept in active service and may be seen
from Edwinton as they galop over the ridges
bordering the west bank of the Missouri riv-
er, making observations, although the distance
is about five miles away.
As near as l can judge, this action of the
Sioux is merely bravado. They are small in
numbers, are long distance from their base
Of supplies, and the few deer and antelope in
that vicinity will give them only precarious
livelihood. do not think they will make any
important attack upon fhe fort, the town, or
the surveying expedition that is soon TO pene-
trate into the very heat of their habitahons.

~ common consent Of the loyal and patriotic peo-
lie Of the United States the Both day Of May has been

ers Of the Republic who laid down their lives In the
late war. The sentiment which demands this OBJ
servance Of the noblest and purest character and
the usage Of scattering flowers upon the graves Of
those who fell in their countrys defense Is Of ancient
origin.
By strewing flowers upon the dead hero's grave, we
honor his memory and the causen which he fell and
ut the same time dedicate ourselves to coun
tty'
ON that day Join in this ceremony. Let it not be an
occasion for the revival Of sectional anmostes and
bitter recoIoctons but rather a. indicating GU de-
sire for reconciliation with the living and gratitude TO
the dead.
IL those places where there posts Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, that organization will take
charge Of the ceremonies; but where there are no
sue posts hoped that the survivors of the late
VAR will unite in doing honor 20 their dead comrades
with whom all are invited TO join.

The Various Chief Justices.

The four greatest Chief Justices
OF the Supreme Court of the United
States were undeniabIy John Jay, of
New York, appointed by President
Washington n the oath of Septem-
Der, 1889; John Marshall, of Virgin
ia, appointed by President Adams
on the 3lst January, 1901; Rogers
B. fancy, Maryland, appointed by
President Jackson on the 18th of
March, 1886, in place OF Roger b.
fancy, deceased. John Rutledge, of
South Carolina, nominated by Presi.
dent Adams in the recess of the SEN
ate, presided as Chief Justice at the
August term of 1895, but was reject.
ed by the Senate on the 18th of De-
cember of the same year, and Will
liam Gushing, of Massachusetts, was
nominated and confirmed as Chief
Justice on the 9th of January, 1896,
but he declined the appointment,
prefering TO remain as an associate
United States justice. He was sue
ceeded by Oliver Ellsworth, of Con-
hONOiNoOi VIM piSSiuoQ Ou the DeDcn
at the August torn in 1899, but re-
signed to accept the appointment of
minister to France on the Sd of No
vember of the same year, so that the
four jurists named, John Jay, John
Marshall, Roger b. fancy, and Sal
mon 2. Chase, filled out the longest
periods in our judicial history. JAY
resigned the Chief Justiceshp to ac-
cept the appointment of minister to
England, and declined it second
time on his return while he was Gov. |
ernor of New York John Marshall |
was Secretary of State when he was
summoned to preside over th bench;
and Roger d. fancy, like Salmon L.
Chase, was called from the Treasury
Department to the same high posi-.
ton. No four jurists could have
shed moro lustre upon that elevated
tribunal or more impartially dis
charged its weighty duties.

The better local papers are sustained
the more able are they to fight for
the interests of the people. Resolu-
tons of thanks are very gratifying in
their place, but they won't do to eat

to it, that while the newspapers are
fighting their battles, they are doing
the fair thing by the ne wspapers.

the Spot. Inc spirit OF murder was
there, and it kept them in spite of
the night and the horror of the sur.
roundings.
Six butchered inhGman beings were
brought forth from their bloody
graves, and three others are yet to be
uncovered. 1t is thought To at more
graves will yet be discovered. The
pit under the trap door was made to
receive the body when first struck
down by tho murderer'shammer. All
the skulls were crushed in, and all at
nearly the same place. One of the
corpses was so horribly mutilated as
to make the sex even q matter of
doubt. The little girl was probably
eight years Of age and had long suns
ny hair, and some traces of beauty
on q countenance that was not yet
entirely disfgured by decay. One
arm was broken. The breast bone
had been driven in, Pho right knee
had been wrenched from its socket,
and the leg doubled up under tho
body. Nothing like this sickening
series of crimes has ever been record
ed in the whole history of the coun.
try, People for hundreds of miles ere
fiocking into Cherryvale, and enor-
nous rewards are to be offered for the
arrest of the murderers. 1t is sup
posed that they have been following
their horrible work for years. Plum
der is the accepted cause. DR. York,
it is said, had large sum of money |
on his person, and that he stopped at |
the house either to feed his horse or |
get a drink Of water. While hating
for either he was dealt the blow
which killed him in an instant.
Every one who knew him liked him.
None of the other corpses have been
identified. We have dispatched q
