LAST OF THE MODOCs
Survivors of Once Powerful Tribe
Have DWindIed TO Fifty

Placldiy smoking the pipe of peace,
apparently forsetful of the eventful
past, about fifty Indians. relatives and
survivors of the renowned Modocs,
who took part in the most interesting
Indian rebellion in American history
are living on allotments near Miami
Ind t. These fifty are perhaps the
only survivors or descendants of the
once powerful tribe
The Modocs, it will be remembered
were an Indian tribe of northern Cali
fornia and southern Oregon. In 1872
they became turbulent and refused TO
remain on their reservations Gener-
al E. r. 5. Candy. veteran of the
Mexican and Civil Wars, was sent
against them, but they. after firing on
the United States forces, retreated to
the lava beds. The advance of the
United States troops was greatly i'm
peded by the peculiar Topography of
the country. and a good many of them
were picked off by Indian sharpshoot-
ers concealed behind the rocks and
crags of the lava beds. Efforts were
then made to negotiate with them,
General Candy and two peace conn mis-
sioners, on the one hand, and num-
Der of Modocs, including their chief
Captain Jack, on the other.
While General Candy and his aids
were seated on stones around a small
in the bushes rushed from their hid
ing places with guns and shot to death
the General and one of his compan-
ions. A vigorous campaign was then
begun against the treacherous Indians,
and in the following summer Jefferson
c. Davis, who succeeded General Can
by, captured the Modoc band. Captain
Jack and three other leaders were tried
by military commission and hanged, while
two others were imprisoned for life.
About 100 who had not followed Captain
Jack were permitted to remain in Califor-
mia. The remainder of the tribe. about 145.
of whom the fifty are either survivors
or descendants. were transferred TO the
Indian Territory. Altogether the war cost
$4,000. Sixty odd soldiers and Indian
allies were killed and nearly as many
wounded.
Little Man" who is said to be a
nephew of Captain Jack. is the only
known relative Of the famous warrior.
Chief "Scarecrow, now bent with age
and infirTnity. is of the survivors of
the rebellion. Besides him are two or
three others who were TRANSPORTED from
California. The others now in the Ter
ritory are all descendants of the old war
rior. If the tribe continues to dwindle
as rapidly the next few years as it has
in the past another decade will mark
the death of the last Modoc Indian in
America.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

DECIDE MARSHALL
Meeting on Friday to Dispose of His
Case.

On Friday Governor Hoch will meet
with the directors of the Hutchinson re-
formatory at his office in this city and
It will be decided whether the charges
made against Superintendent E. z.
Marshall were sustained at the recent
investigator held at Hutchinson.
The directors of the reformatory are
J. S. Simmons of Hutchinson. Phil
Kelley of White Cloud and Thos. Nor
gan of Ottawa Mr. Morgan is the Dem
ocratIc member of the board. The board
put in about a week taking testimony in
the case, and Governor Hoch was pres
ent most of the time listening to the
evidence.
Some very startling evidence was in
troduced tending to show that an in
mate named Ward had been kept in
solitary confinement for % days on q
diet of bread and water, and that from
the effects of such treatment he died.
The evidence showed that the doctor OF
the institution had caused the hospital
records to be altered to show conditions
which did not exist relative to the care
of this inmate. The general charge
against Marshall is that he authorized
cruel and unnecessarily severe methods
in the treatment of inmates of the in
stitution, and made the refOrmatory q
prison rather than a place for reform

End of the Arkansas River Litigation
With Colorado.

Kansas is done with the Arkansas river
lawsuit and this afternoon there will be
| a meeting of attorneys at the office of the
attorney general F. S. jackson, for the
purpose of interring the remains.
The question to be settled at this meet
ing IS whether or not the state will ask

famous case, which was decided adverse
ly to the state. The motion for rehear-
ing must be filed prior to October II, OF
the case is ended. 1t is entirely improba-

DAVID STEWART WENT TOO FAR.
ImpersOnated Judge Dana and Is
Escorted Out of Town.

Acting under orders from Judge Dana,
Sheriff Wilkerson saw to it today that
David Stewart left town. The sheriff
saw Stewart away on the 20 train for
Manhattan and Stewart has instructions
to steer clear of Topeka.
Stewart used to work in the Santa Fe
shops here. About a year ago he had
some trouble with his wife which re-
suited in her securing a divorce. She
got the custody of one child. a girl and
he of the other, a boy. Later Mrs.
Stewart had the custody of the son
awarded to her. Stewart got the con-
sent of the court to visit the children
on occasions, but whenever he did there
was always trouble between himself
and wife. Finally this consent was
withdrawn. Then Stewart wanted to
know what would be the result If he
kidnapped the children and he was
promptly Informed that he would be ar
rested and punished.
Mrs. Stewart called on Judge Dana
yesterday and said that she was called
up by phone yesterday by a person
whom she had every reason to believe
was her husband. This person repre-
sented himself to be the Judge of the
district court and he directed Mrs.
Stewart to turn over the custody of the
children to Mr.. Stewart. Mrs. Stewart
did not think that this was a usual
method of procedure so she called on
the judge. Judge Dana instructed
Sheriff Wilkerson to hunt up Stewart
OF being punished for Stimulating the
court. Sheriff Wilkerscn found his man
yesterday afternoon and Stewart gladly
aaviled himself of the privilege of be-
ing allowed to get away. And the sher-
If saw to II that he got away today.
