THE sQUAW's TIMELY WARNING

THE sQUAw's TIMELY WARNING
and the peace talk" was only blind
Yet the stronger party were the ones to
show forbearance and display con fidence in
dealing with the ignorant and misguided
savages. and Candy permitted the talk to-
60 on.
The Indians finally took the floor, and at
that moment their crafty brethren back in
the Lava Beds were attempting to draw the
officers of Canby's outposts into parley
Finding that they could not do so. they
opened fire and wounded lieutenant. This
was seen from the signal station and was
about to be communicated to Candy, when
the peace talk" party was seen to sudden
~ dlsperse. In an instant firing began and
the ready soldiers started to the scene at
double quick. But it was too late.
The talk had lasted two hours, when
Schonchin took up the Modoc cause and
Captain Jack retired from the circle. The
next move was the appearance of two
strange Modocs at point near by with
their arms full of rifles. This was signal
that the attack on the army outposts was
under way. Captain Jack, coming up from
behind. presented his pistol at Canby's
head and snapped it, but it did not 90 off.
ALI the whites took alarm and scattered, at
the same time drawing their weapons.
Captain Jack shot Candy, but net fatally
and he started to run, pursued by two
Modocs a second bullet brought him
down and an Indian sprang upon him and
plunged knife into his neck Dr. Thomas
was Instantly killed at the first fire.
The chief peace commissioner fell vic
tim to Schonchin, whose father had been
butchered at the peace talk" massacre
eighteen years before. Meachem was pur
sued and fired upon until he fell Meantime
Dyer and the interpreter Riddle had es
capped. and the squaw ''Tobe'' lay senseless
on the ground, felled by I. blow on the
head AS Meachem dropped to the ground
Modoc ran toward him with Il drawn
scalpng knife and was about to dispatch
him when "Tobe'' revived, and seeing that
her worst fears had been realized screamed,
The soldiers are coming" At this out
cry, which was ruse SO far as the squaw
was concerned, the savages fed
From that hour Canby's soldiers gave
the Modocs no peace until they were driven
from the Lava Beds and captured. Captain
Jack, Schonchin, Boston Charley and
| Black Jim expiated their revengeful deed
upon the scaffold, and their people went
upon new reservation. as Candy had nd
vised before the double duty of fighting
and negotiation was forced upon him.
