SCAR FACE CHARLEY, LEON.
IDAS OF THE MODOCS
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

ONE April day in 1873 party OF 10
~ soldiers commanded by Capt. Evan
Thomas suddenly found themselves
In death trap In the lava beds of
northern California. Within few
minutes the murderous fire from hid.
den enemy had disabled more than
half Of the command.
AS suddenly as the Indian fire had
begun, 1t stopped and the survivors
heard a voice shouting to them: "You
who are not dead had better 60 home;
we don't want to kill you all in one
day." l. was the voice of Scar Face
Charley, the leader OF Modoc war
party With force of only Fl war.
riors he had killed 80 and wounded Is
OF the soldiers. Wearied OF the
slaughter. he allowed the remainder
to escape. Afterwards he said: my
heart was sick at seeing so many men
killed."
The career OF Scar Face Charley
(Chikchikam Lupalkuelatko--"W
Scar Faced'., called the "Leonidas
Of the Lava Beds" In the Modoc war,
vas one of strange contrasts. At the
opening Of the conflict he had visited
the homes of many settlers and, warn.
Ing them that war was coming, told
them to stay quietly In their homes and
the MOdocs would not modest them. He
had fred bss opening gun Of the war
when soldiers Jumped" the Modoc
camp In November, 1872.
When Captain Jack, the chief, want.
ed to make peace Charley was one OF
the warriors who tainted him and
forced him to continue fighting. Then
he protested against the murder Of
General Candy and Doctor Thomas
calling 1t unworthy of the heart of
a Modoc.' When he saw that the
Nodoc cause was hopeless he sur
rendered to the military and enlisted
as scout.
One night Black Jim and Curly.
Headed Doctor, two Of the most war
like M0docs, denounced him as trail
tor and threatened to kill him. Walk.
ing over to the fire and standing there
In the full blaze of the burning logs
he said: MEN, put on some more wood
for | want Black Jim and the Doctor
to have a good light to shoot me by
His bluff was not called.
Charley continued in the service of
the soldiers until they had run Captain
Jack to earth. When the chief and
five others were tried before a military
court for numbering the peace CON-
he was one of the wit
nesses who spoke most earnestly In be-
half Of the condemned men.
At the close Of the Modoc war Char.
ley with his people as military prison
ers were deported to Oklahoma where

CHIEF QUANAH PARKER, "THE
WHITE COMANCHE

ON FEBRUARY %, 1911, Chief
~ Quanah Parker lay dying In his
home, the white House of the Com
anches" near Cache, Okla. When
white doctor had failed to save his
life, Quasei, the medicine man, en-
tered. Placing his arm about the dy-
Ing chief, Quasel tapped his hands
and initiated the call OF the Great
Eagle, the messenger OF the Great
Spirit. Father In Heaven, this our
brother Is coMing," he prayed. A
moment later, Quanah, the son of
white mother, chief who had lived
the white mans way for IS years,
died an Indian.
Quanah's mother was Cynthia Ann
Parker, white woman who had been
captured by his father Nokoni, 1.-THE
Wanderer," In 1885, when she was only
twelve years old. She bore him three
children, two sons and daughter.
A son born In 1915 was given the name
Kwaini, fragrant" When friends of
the Parker family visited the Comanchs
camp to persuade her to return to
civilization she said, II am happy with
my husband and children. l have no
desire to be anything but an Indian"
In 1850 Texas Rangers under Gov.
L. s. Ross attacked the Comancte
camp, killed Nokoni and captured
Cynthia Ann Parker and her two
year-old daughter. The sons escaped.
When the "White Indian" was re-
stored to her people, 1t brought her
no joy for she mourned necessarily
for the Indian camp and especially for
her sons. Soon afterwards, during a
council with the Comanches, Some
army officers told Young Quanah, or
Kwaina, that his mother was still alive
and they tried to induce him to make
bis home with her. 1t was In vain.
The boy mad never known anything
but Indian life. In 1854 Cynthia Ann
Parker dle5, still mourning for her son
Quanah rose to the position of war
chief Of the Comanches and In the
war with the Southern Plains tribes
In 1874 he was the last to surrender.
When he did he encouraged his people
In travelling the white mans road.
In his last years Quanah brough
his mothers body from Texas and
buried II near his home. Then he
worked increasingly to have suitable
erected over the grave. Final
~ congress appropriated $1,000 for that
purpose and two weeks before Quanah
died the monument was built. The
body OF Qnanah, the chief of the Com
anches. was buried nearby, and the
white mother and her Indian son were
reunited OF last.

know, what could any one know Of the
| Miwaka, the ship of which nothing
ever was heard except the beating OF

him say more; but he looked away now
down to the lake.
"The Chippewa must have come In

way to the telegraph office. If Mr..

She offered to drive him to Petos-
key, but he already had arranged for
MAJ to take him to the train.
She went to her room after he was
gone and spread out again on her bed
the watch--now the watch of Captain
Stafford Of the Miwaka--with the
knife and coins of more than twenty
years ago which came with 1t. The
meaning of them now was all changed !;
she felt that; but what the new mean
Ing might be could not yet come to
her. Something Of 1t had come to Alan ;
that, undoubtedly. was what had so
greatly stirred him: but she could not
yet reassemble her ideas. Yet few
facts had become plain.
A maid came to say that Mr.. Spear
man had come UP from his boat for
breakfast with her and was down
stairs. She went down to find Henry
lounging in one Of the great wicker
chairs In the living room. He arose
and came toward her quickly: but she
halted before he could seize her

She told him while he watched her
inteutly. "He wired to Buffalo about

The watch belonged to Captaia

She drew a little away from him
with hands clasped behind her back,
gazing intently at him. There was
some writing found In Uncle Benuy's
house In Aston sheets list OF names
of relatives of people who had lost
their lives upon the lake. Wassaquam
