INDIAN MIKES LAST STAND

The Humboldt Star has the fol-
lowing additional particulars of
Sundays battle with Indian Mikes
band:
The last stand and the final
determination of this little band
of Indians as was told by members
of the posse at Golconda yesterday
was reminder of early day
experiences of the pioneers Of this
Western country, when battles with
redskins we're a common occur
renee.
The effects found by the posse in
the camp Of the Indians showed
conclusively that the band had
kept aloof from civiliz alton and
and had returned to the wild state
characteristic of the Indians with
whom the whites fought in the
States earliest days. All the
utensils of Shoshone Mikes band
were of the crudest kind and most
of their effects were of their own
manufacture. There were bow and
sarrOws tipped with sharp steel
points. long handled war spears
and tomahawks of steel, with
handles two and a half feet long,
two Indian war drums and bonnet
of feathers, probably the headdress
of old Shoshone Mike. All of these
articles were of primitive make
and painted with Indian designs in
yellow and green and even the
arrows showed the coloring which
plainly indicates that the Indians
were undoubtedly on the war path
and were out for plumber and to
kill the palefaces if necessary.
Shoshone Mikes marauding band,
it is believed, has for ten or fifteen
years roamvd over the northern
part of the State along the
boundary line of Oregon and Idaho
The band consisted of Mike, his
wife land their ten children.
The members of the posse
brought to Golconda many
souvenirs of the battle from the
camp of the Indians. A number
of the arrows are now on exhibition
at "The Star" office.
Edward Hogle. who was shot in
the battle with the murderous
Indians last Sunday was native OF
California and was within two
days of being 81 years of age.
Hogle leaves to mourn his loss his
mother. a brother aid a sister
residing at Anderson. Shasta county
CAL, and another brother who
resides at Loyalton, Cal. The
deceased was vaquero and had
worked for cattle outfits near
Gerlach, on the Western Pacific.
He was a member of the posse
that started from Eagleville and
followed the trail of the Indians
from the scene of the crime to the
place where he received his death
wound. He was shot in the left
breast, the bullet passing through
his body and coming out under his
right arm, probably touching the
heart.
After he was shot he walked
about forty feet when he turned
around and said to Henry Hughes,
my God, | am shot" and falling to
the ground he passed away in a
few moments. As showing the
irony of fate the bullet that
killed Hogle was fired from q
Savage automatic 38-caliher pistol
that was taken from the body of
Cambron. one Of the victims of
the massacre in Little High
Rock canyon, and the last cartridge
in the weap on and the last .h0t
fired by the Indians in Sundays
battle WAS the one which gave
Hogle his death wound
Sheriff Lamb returned with the
posse to Golconda from the battle
field, he having reached the Kelly
Creek ranch Monday about noon.

DAVIS RETURNED TO CANADA
Decided Not to Fight Extradition and
Was Taken to Manitoba by
Provincial Authorities.

Ed Davis, confessed abductor and
assailant of Miss Eleanor Gladys
Price, the Pembina Valley (Man.)
schoolteacher, has been taken to Nor
den. Man., and will be held there
pending a preliminary examination on
the charges lodged against him by the
provincial authorities.
His decision to return to Manitoba
without extradition was reached when
he learned that William Adams, the
Snowflake (Man.) hotel proprietor,
whom he shot last Wednesday night,
was not dead and proof of that fact
had been furnished him. Adams came
to Langdon at the request of the Ca
madam officials.
Davis confession. that he was an
escaped convict from California was
made, he said, on the supposition that
Adams had been murdered by him.
He said he had been told last Friday
that the hotel man was dead and he
declared that he would much rather
go to California and do time than
stand trial for Murder in Manitoba,
as he supposed he would have to do.
At the county jail at Langdon a
constant guard was maintained dur
ing the time the prisoner was con-
fined. There was no show of violence
at any time.
