CROKER SPEAKS.
He Has Something to Say on the Supreme
Court Question.

New York, Oct. 20.-An address was
delivered by Richard Croker at a meet
ing of the executive committee of Tam
many Hall today, in which he said in
part:
THE people are determined upon a
change of administration, and we must
not permit through any neglect of ours
that they should be deceived or dis
tracted regarding the true issues Of this
campaign. 1t was a question fairly
submitted to our convention, as to
whether Judge Days services upon the
bench have been such as to justify
lengthening his term from % to AZ
years. And when the convention de-
cided that from among the members
of the bar there could be selected those
VINO had given better satisfaction to
the public and who had greater claims
upon the democratic party for services
rendered in behalf of the people, there
was no idea in any mans mind that a
judge should be selected for any other
reason than to fairly interpret the law
and determine such legal questions as
came before him, without reference to
the position or politics of the people.
THE supreme court bench of this de-
partment is respected throughout the
state and country for it's fairness and
honesty and its ability. And it should
be remembered that with but single
exception, every one Of the % judges
Of that court was nominated by this
organization and elevated by efforts of
its members. And l now challenge any
judge ever elected through the efforts
of this organization to furnish a single
instance where he had been interfered
with in the impartial discharge Of his
duties by even a single suggestion from
me. You are urged to present this
matter in any way you please to the
people of your several districts and
then let the bar association hold all the
republican meetings which it may
please the management to call, and we
need not fear the result This is a
democratic year and a victory is al
ready assured to our candidates.

The settlers by this time were 80 terri.
fed that they left their homes and fed
to places of safety, leaving their fields OF
ripe grain uncut and turning the stock
into gardens and fields to do the har-
vesting.
Stockades were made in different parts
Of the settlement for the safety Of fami-
lies. On the Ahtanum, near the resi-
dence now owned by Cyrus Walker, a
large embankment was thrown up made
of sods piled several feet high, with a
deep trench on the outside. This was
for the protection OF all the residents OF
the valley.
The government soon came to the res
cue by placing cavalry troops at Fort
Simcoe and by sending needle guns to
Yakima City. This caused a feeling OF
relief. All breathed easier; and when
news came that the Indians had surren-
dered to General Howard. where they
were fighting along the Columbia river,
there was great rejoicing.
In December of the same year..Father
Wilbur, who was at that time Indian
agent at Fort Simcoe, sent an invitation
to Chief Moses to meet him in Yakima
City for the purpose of having friendly
council. Moses accepted the invitation
and was present at the appointed time.
The Centennial hall was packed with
eager spectators.to hear what the dreaded
chief would have to say. Father Wilbur
made the opening address, in which he
said that we all are children of the Great
Father, all of one family, and that it is
wrong for one man to take the life of
another. In this way he approached the
subject of the murder of the Perkins fam
lily. Moses was chief over the Indians
who had committed the deed, and it was
well known that he was in sympathy
with the hostIles. Moses believed that
the little band of which he was chief and
the whites and Indians of the Yakima
valley composed the nation and that the
world extended just beyond the Column
bia river. True, he had heard of Wash
ington tyee. president OF the United
States, but Moses considered him an in
significant being compared with himself.
On this occasion Moses was a striking
picture. He was dressed in a long coat,
Prince Albert style, black trousers, buck
skin leggings, wore a white handkerchief
about his neck and wide-brimmed Span
ish hat. When called upon to make a
speech, he slowly stepped forward. The
audience waited, almost breathless.
After standing perfectly quiet for some
time. he bent forward with great delib.

STORY OF EARLY DAYS.
ATaIe Of the Terrible Times Of long
Ago, Showing Chief Moses In
HIS True Light.
MRS. LOUISA HEIsLER CARY.

Just twenty years ago the peaceful
Yakima valley was thrown into a state
OF uneasiness by rumors of Indian depre-
dations and murders committed all
around us. One day in the early spring
of 1873 the mail carrier brought word to
the little town of Yakima that the hostile
Indians were trying to cross the Column
bia river over to the Yakima eide. This
greatly increased the anxiety, for it was
generally believed that if they succeeded
the little handful OF settlers would be
wiped out.
At that time our only mail service was
weekly stage which ran between Yak.
ina and Umatilla. There was no rail-
way, no telegraph line, absolutely no
means of communicating with the outside
world except by the weekly stage, whose
driver, L. H. Adkins, literally took his
life in his hand when he made the trip.
In July the soldiers commanded by
General 0. o. Howard were wsging some
fierce battles at Umatilla. The general,
anticipating the desires of the Indians to
cross the Columbia and raid the Yakima
country, ordered patrol boats manned by
we'll armed soldiers to be placed on the
river at points where the Indians would
cross, with orders to fire on any hostiles
seen crossing the river. The Indians,
not knowing the mission of the boats,
soon made an attempt to cross in full
view. They were promptly fired upon,
and several were killed; only a few were
successful in landing on the Yakima side
and they left at once for Priest Rapids. At
Rattlesnake springs, twenty-five miles
from Yakima, general camping place
for all stock men, they found Lorenzo
Perkins and wife, who had stopped there
for their MONDAY lunch on their way to
Yakima. They had heard of the Indian
troubles along the Columbia, and con-
cluded it would be safer for them among
friends than at their home at White
Bluffs.
Mr.. Perkins was brother of Mrs. L.
]. May, we'll known in Yakima, and Mrs.
Perkins was the daughter of Mrs. Cheney,
who resides in the Mckee. The savages,
being greatly angered by having been
fred upon from the boats that morning,
were ready to take revenge by torturing
any white person they might meet. MIR.

Strengthening himself to his fullest
height, he pompously said, "Niks
Noses" Il am Moses. After dwelling
upon his own greatness, he finally con.
sented to assist in capturing the murder.
ers. He proposed that the whites should
join him on the Columbia. twenty five
miles from Yakima, and promised to 20
with them to the spot where the murder
ers were camped. His plan was agreed
to, and sixteen men, with seventeen In
dian police, were prepared for the expedi.
ton. They soon set out, with special
| orders from the sheriff, and with U. l..
Splawn as captain.
When they arrived at the point desig.
mated, they discovered that Moses WAS a
traitor. He was nowhere to be seen.
They crossed the river and started in the
direction Of Crab Creek, and were soon
startled by the approach of the chief with
sixty braves in war paint. The white
heroes stood firm as ststLes, waiting or
ders from their commander. Captain
Splawn called to Moses, asking him what
he meant by meeting them in this man
ner. Moses replied that his talk in Yak
ina was cultus, mo good, and that he
had no intention of fulfilling his agree
ment. After exchanging a few words,
all dispersed without bloodshed.
Captain Splawn Immediately dis
patched courier to Yakima for assist
ance. Sixty volunteers, under Captain
James Simmons, Immediately left for the
scene, with orders to arrest Moses and
bring him to Yakima. They were also
reinforced by DORIS Schnebly and party
from Ellensburg. They were not long in
capturing the chief and nine warriors.
These they handcuffpd and tied.
Those who saw Moses at this time do
not look upon him as a brave man, but
think him very much OF a coward.
When he saw the handouts he wept like
baby.
He was told that he would be held a
prisoner until his men produced the muir
derers as he had agreed. and il they failed
to do that his own lille would pay the
penalty. Moses agreed that il they would
liberate three of his men they should
bring in the murderers. The three were
liberated and, after receiving orders from
their chief, disappeared. The other
prisoners, including Moses. were taken
TO Yakima and placed in jail. Captain
Splawn continued to search for the
guilty parties, who were finally captured,

and Mrs. Perkins noticed the strange &C.
tons of the Indians, became alarmed,
and began preparations at once for leav.
ing camp. The Indians, however, had
no intention of permitting this, and no
sooner had they mounted their horses
than the firing commenced.
Mr.. Perkins was first to fail from his
horse. His wife by this time was riding
at full speed; the savsges followed in hot
pursuit, firing necessarily. She, too, soon
fell, wounded, and begged piteously for
them to spare her life, but her cries were
unheeded. They we're both dragged q
short distance and there made fast to the
ground by huge stones thrown upon
them until they we're buried beneath the
mass. Mrs. Perkins was vet alive, but
death soon delivered her from this awful
torture.
Friends grew very anxious when they
did not arrive at the appointed time, and
a searching party of FIVE men, headed by
Al. Chambers, cousin of Mrs. Per-
kins, WAS sent to ascertain their where
abouts. 1t was nine days before their
bodies were recovered and brought to
Yakima City for burial. Excitement
ran high. Everyone was aroused. A
meeting was hurriedly called to take some
active steps for the protection of the set
tiers. Every old gun was frightened up
and every man was buying ammunition.
One night, at IL O'Clock, there was a
general stampede, caused by the appear
ance of Thomas Kelley, who rode rapidly
into town, saying that "the Indians had
broke out sure" Excited men ran in
every direction, some preparing to fight,
others getting their families into safer
quarters. The Guilland hotel was con-
sidered the safest place, and women and
children were packed in there like bees
in hive. Men were placed on guard at
different places on the outskirts OF town.
Armed men paraded the streets all
night, and some of the drawer women
buckled on revolvers and walked at the
side of their husbands.
The Indians had stolen a number OF
horses from settlers along the Wenas and
other streams. Two young men by the
name of Burbank, while out hunting
stock in the Selah valley, saw at a dis
lance what appeared to be their horses.
On approaching they found that the
horses were being herded by Indians.
The ssvages started in pursuit of the men.

returning the firing over their shoulders

though not without resistance. The
struggle was fierce one, other Indiana
coming upon them and trying to rescue
'fe prisoners. One man, by the name
OF Rozell, was shot through the arm and
badly wounded; others came near losing
their lives. The murderers were placed
In Jail, after which Moses was liberated.
Several weeks later the town was
thrown into state of excitement by the
rapid firing of guns in the vicinity of the
Jail. and it was learned that the murder.
ers had broken Jail, had attem pied to kill
W. II. York, the jailer, and, having left
him for dead. were rapidly disappearing.
When overtaken by the sheriff and den.
nties, the savages fought like tigers, pre-
ferring to die by the bullet rather than
by the rope.

wounded, enc OF them dying soon after
