lcture of the Nez Perce
INDIAN War of 1877.

1nQlan war or 1877.
BY sen. b. +. MORRIS.
the early spring of 1877
e was council of the Indi-
called at Lapwai Agency, at
Pa all the Indians living out
the limits of the reservation,
especially those occupying
in the Wallowa valley, were
moned to appear. There
at this council representa-
of the government sent out
the Interior Department in
onse to numerous complaints
de by the white citizens who
req homes upon the land oc-
|ed by these ESQ called) rene
91e Indians. Young Joseph,
IN afterward became so famous
ing the subsequent war, was
f1< with many others of the
anae tribe occupying valuable
i4na in the Wallowa valley.
MI exerting every influence
po1ible in a peaceable way to
- get them to yield without ac-
complishing their object, an Or
d9x vas issued on or about May
4th TO them commanding them
~ remove their effects and reside
and reside on the reservation,
tfact comprising three -fourths of
q m1llion acres of the finest land
~ hmerica and affording an
abundance of fish and game of
6ll kinds. They were further
notified that if they disobeyed
tho order the military would be
called out to enforce it and move
them within the limits set apart
TOR their exclusive use. The In
d1aIas became sullen and posi-
(5veIy declared at the said coun-
cil That they would not obey the
order. The council adjourned
amid much bluster and discon-
lent The Indians soon after
sathered their effects together
md assembled in great numbers
pIl Qamas Prairie which at that
'inae vas only occupied by a few
white settlers, in all not to ex-
aeed zoo, including women and
'hllQren. The Indians drilled
N horseback, shooting and Yell
|ng md scared the settlers, most
of whom moved into Mt. Idaho
lor aafety. On the night of June
18th three of the young braves
oecoming impatient for the fray
opened the ball by shooting Dick
Divine, a consumptive in almost
Ihe last stage of the disease, on
Ehe ranch now owned by Amos
Carver, five miles above John
Days Creek on Salmon River.
Mr. Divine was shot down at his
1oox only partly dressed with
slippers on. On June IA, early
a the morning, they came to
|he house of Henry Elfers, pro-
pfletor OF John Day House, and
liter Waiting in a familiar man
ner for some time took Mr.. Elfer's |
5un md followed him out a short |
1istance from his house and shot |
ann dead, From there they

'ther man were cutting hay and

her passed around Slate Creek

shot IN the thlgh, severIng tie
femoral artery, from which he
died in the arms OF his wife.
His little boy "Hill,D brave
youth of seven or eight years old,
by the advice of his dying father,
crawled through the grass and
made his way to Grangeville and
thereby saved his mother, who
was shot through the calves of
both legs. Joe Moore was shot
through the hips and died a
month later. Linn Bowers, sister
of Mrs. Norton, slipped through
the hostile line and after a hard
chase in the dark eluded her
pursuers and got to Mt Idaho
safely.
You can but vaguely imagine
the situation when / say there
were about 800 souls forted up
at Mt. Idaho, many having come
out of the mining camps, and
only twenty-nine guns and thir-
teen pistols Including all classes
of arms to defend this helples
lot of humanity. But there
were many brave men who used
the arms and ammunition to tie
best advantage and secuted day
and night, keeping posted on the
movements of the hostiles ard
foraging for provisions and horse
feed.
In a few days message got to
Lapwai and while the government
had failed to furnish protection
heretofore, it now responded
promptly, and in few days
arms and ammunition for volun-
teers were issued and troops were
sent to protect the remaining
property. Companies were
formed by Capts. Randall, Gear
ley, Case and Bloomer, and Ed
McConville came up from Lewis
ton with company, Capt. Tom
Page from WaHa IYalla and
Capt. Hunter from Dayton.
These companies were volunteers.
Capt. McConville was elected
Colonel, B. f. Morris Lieut..
Colonel and Geo. NJ. Shearer
Major Of the Regiment Idaho
Volunteers. They with the U. S.
troops soon started the hostiles
on the retreat, but not until they
had killed about fifty whites in
battle besides about seventeen
murdered by the hostiles at tie
outbreak, They burned many
houses and barns, destroyed near
ly all the crops and killed and
drove away several thousand cat
tie and horses.
The pioneers who survived
this famous war have never been
paid a cent except in one case
for losses, many having lost all
they had, and since died in povA
erty and the others have suffered
by the delay on the part of the
government to adjust these
claims. Even the horses shot
down in battle have never been
paid fors The government has
sent several special agents to in
vestigate these claims and report
the last of whom was one G. e,
Bayard, of The Dalles, Oregon,
who was anything but the right |
man for that business and WIS
one of Webfoot's bitter politi-
clans who made that enter into
all his official acts. His reports
are the best evidence of his inca
pability otherwisei The govern
ment should appoint good, hon
est, competent persons to exam
inc these claims and report to |
Congress and adjust the matter
without further uelay, and also
pay the volunteers who so brave
ly defended tho women and chill |
