CAPTAIN JACK. THE MARTYR OF
THE MODOCS

THEY were preparing to hang Cap.
L tain Jack (Kintpuash), the Modoc
chief. There was harsh clanking Of
iron as he rose to speak for himself
and his people. "Let me die like
man, not like a dog" he said, II am
not afraid to die, but am ashamed to
90 this way, with my hands tied be-
hind me-"
AS he stood on the scaffold ut Fort
klamath, Ore, Jealous minister
tried to comfort him. "You must not
be afraid to die" he said. "You are
going to beautiful land where you
will never want for anything"
Preacher replied Jack, this COUNTRY
right here Is good enough for me. You
say the other Is a fine place ard
suppose you want to go there. I'll give
you % ponies II you will take my
place. l don't wnnt to 60 right new."
The minister declined.
Captain Jacks death marked the
end of war that had cost the United
States more than half a million dollars
and 100 lives, white and red. Who was
most responsible? No man can say,
Captain Jack and his warriors MUIR
dered General Candy and Doctor
Thomas, peace commissioners, who
had come into the Indian camp under
flag of truce. Twenty years before
a Californian named Ben Wright had
massacred nearly 80 Modocs under
white flag and had become O popular
hero for the deed. Among these was
Captain Jacks father.
Captain Jack was hanged, but other
Modocs with blacker records went free
because they deserted him and joined
the soldiers In hunting him down. At
first he had protested at the plot to
murder the peace commissioners. Then
some of his warriors placed squaw's
hat on his head, shawl about his
shoulders and threw him to the ground.
Coward Squawl' they jeered at
him. "You are not Modoc You will
not die with a soldiers bullet. We will
save the soldier that trouble. Spring
Ing to his feet he shouted: Il will do
your towards work even though II
cost me my life and the lives Of all my
people"
The white mans history records
Captain Jack only as treacherous
murderer. Had he been a white man
perhaps 1t would have pronounced him
a martyr. Forced into an act which
he abhorred; waglpg war which he
knew was hopeless; betrayed by his
own men; walking In chains to the
Indians most disgraceful deatli--small
wonder that be cried bitterly: -what
chance for Justice does the Indian have
with you white men and you, whlts

He drew knife which he had con-
cealed upon his person and plunged
the blade into the side Of one Of his
guards. The next moment he fell to
the ground riddled with bullets. AZ
he fell he was singing his death song
He gave one last defiant warwh0oR

Satank (Set-angya--Sittins Bear).
who was both chief and medicine
man, was the leader of the Ka-itsenko
or "Real Dogs" the highest military
order In the tribe. This was select
body Of ten Of the bravest warriors
who were pledged to lead every des-
perate charge and to keep their place
In the forefront of battle until they
won victory or death.
Once In fight with the Pawnees,
Set-angya engaged an enemy and was
about to stab him with lance when
his foot slipped on the snow. The
Kiowa chief fell and the Pawnee sent
an arrow through Satank's upper lip.
This wound left a lifelong scar, al
though 1t was not easily seen, for Sa-
tank wore q mustache, a rare thing
among the Indians This incident
showed the importance Of Satank in
his tribe, for the calendar history Of
the Kiowas, Photographic record OF
their great deeds. gives II as the lead
Ing event Of 1S46-47 and that year is
known as "the winter when they shot
the mustache."
In 1870 Satank's son was Killed
while raiding In Texas. The old chief
went down into that state, gathered
the bones In bundle and brought
them back. Ever afterward he carried
them about with him on special
horse, kept them on special Plat
form erected In his tepee and gave
feasts In honor of his son. my SON is
not dead: he is sleeping" he would
explain to the old men who gathered
about the fire with him.
The next year, In company with Sa'
tanta and Big Tree, the Sitting Bear
led war party into Texas, attacked
wagon train and killed seven white
men. When he returned to Fort Sill
he boosted Of the deed to Generals

military started to take Satank to
Texas for trial as murderer, he

because of that that Constance found
herself cold now?
"You mean you want me to marry

He drew her to him powerfully; she
felt him warm, almost rough with
passions. Since that day when. In

he had put 1t.

"Nuch has been written about the so

Mayor Hylan yesterday signed the
bill increasing the salaries of the
Mayor and Comptroller from $4,000
10 $25,000 a year and that of the
President of the Board of Aldermen
from $500 to $4,000. The bill now
goes to Gov. Miller for signature and
when signed by him becomes effective
immediately.
Before signing the bill Mayor Hylan
let the city know that he had been
tempted to refuse the nomination that
eliminated in his reelection last No
vember.
Mr.. Hylan impaired the information
at the public hearing in the City Hall,
where the bill was under discussion. He
said:
well, want to announce that prior
to my nomination to the office l now
hold was given assurance that " did
not run for Mayor ] would be taken
care of in a law firm at salary of
$4,000 a year"
"was it from a firm OF lawyers
handling traction matters?" he was
asked later
WELL" was the cryptic reply, ut
came from source which to my mind
was never friendly to the people" He
declined TO reveal the name of the firm.
The hearing in the Board of Estimate
chamber in City Hall was 10 discuss this
and other bills passed by the last ses-
sion OF the Legislature. No opposition
was offered except to the measure in
creasing the pay of the police and fire
men. Stewart Browne, representing the
United Real Estate Owners Association,
objected on the ground that 1t was man
datory legislation.

YOU let the Republican politicians have
their fling and embarrass the Mayor?
That's part of their little game. Why

The Mayor. however. did not sign
the police-firemen bill or the one in
creasing the salaries of the commissioners
of taxes and assessments. He said last
light it might be four or five days
before he would take action on these
treasures.
Among those who spoke in favor
OF increasing the salary of the Mayor
were Herman A. Metz and repre- senta-
tives of the Allied Printing Trades the
