Porter in the Century. The woods were still
on hre along parts of the main road which
made II almost impossible, so that the party
turned out to the right into a side road. The
intention was to take the same route by
which the cavalry had advanced but it was
dificult to tell one road from another.
The night was dark, the dust was thick,
the guide who was conducting the party be-
came confused and 1t was uncertain whether
we were going in the right direction or riding
into the lines of the enemy. The guide was
Tor time suspected Of treachery, but he was
innocent of such charge, and had only lost
his bearings. Col. Comstock rode on in adj
vance, and, hearing the sound of marching
columns not far off on our right, came back
with the news. and it was determined to re-
turn to the Brock road
Gen. Grant at first demurred when it was
proposed to turn back. and urged the guide
10 try and find some cross-road leading to
the Brock road to avoid retracing our steps.
rms was an instance of his marked aversion
10 turning back, which amounted almost to
superstition. He often put himself to the
greatest personal inconvenience to avoid it.
When he found that he was not travelling in
the direction he intended to take he would
try all sorts of croSs-cuts, ford streams, and
jump any number of fences to reach another
road rather than go back and take fresh
start If he had been in the place of the IA

mayor of that city, for with him Bow bells
would have appealed with deaf ears when they
chimed out Turn again, Wilmington The
enemy who encountered him never failed to
feel the effect of this Unborn prejudice against
turning back.
However, slight retrogade movement be-
came absolutely necessary in the present in
stance, and the general yielded to the force of
circumstances. An orderly was stationed at
the fork of the roads to indicate the right d.
rection to Warren's troops when they should
reach that point, and our party proceeded to

Modocs had been confined by the gov
eminent in a defined reservation and
treaties were made with them, which
were repeatedly broken. The tribe were
the prey of post traders, contractors
and OF almost severy white man who
came in contact with them. The only
one of the hated white race in whom
they had confidence was the late Judge
Elijah Steele. To this man they went
for counsel and advice, but in the lapse
OF time they even contemplated taking
his life, as in the Indian mode of rea-
son1ng the death OF a single white man

on their oppressors. The memory of any de-
tail of the Wright affair was never allowed to
fade. At every council Capt. Jack or Scar
Faced Charley called upon the vengeful Mo
docs to remember the August day, when the
palefaces had killed their fathers and broth
ers. At last in January, 1873 the whites in
Northern California knew that another Indian
war was at hand.
Shortly after hostilities began the govern
ment appointed peace commissioner to con-
Ter with the rebellious redskins and endeavor
10 make peace. In the meantime Riddle and
other sQuaw men on the reservation used
their influence toward a settlement of the diff
fculty but to no effect. The turbulent war
rlors. led by Capt. Jack, were bent on
slaughter. When the peace commissioner ar
rived on the ground the Indians refused to
treat with him. They did. however, finally
agree to surrender to Judge Steele and two
other men of that region, and arranged TO
give up their arms the following day. When
Steele and
HIS COMPANIONS
went to the agreed place Of surrender not an
indian was in sight, and they returned to the
military camp. Steele then agreed to go
alone and interview the war chief. That
night Steele went through an experience few

pacific terms in the Chinook jargon they were
discussing "a their own tongue the advisable

life on condition Of his bringing the commits
