also shows that the Indian must have
been preparing for such siege by
laying in provisions for a long time
before.
The massacre Of the peace com
missioners by Jack and his leaders on
the nth day of April, 1878, was II
terrible revelation to the kind hearted
advocates of justice to the Indians
And it showed that there were fully
as many white men who did not un-
dersand the Indian character as there
were Indians who could not cOmpre-
hend the white man. When warned
over and over by Riddle, the white
husband Of an Indian wife, that the
Indians must not be trusted in a pro-
position for n peac" talk In the'r lava
bed den, Rev. Thomas the Methodist
minister who was murdered WIN
Candy, replied THAT God Almighty
would not let any such body Of men
be hurt that were on as good mis-
sion as peacemaking." To this Riddle
returned the only sensible and safe
reply that could be made: "Mr. Thorn
as, you may trust God as much as you
please, but | don't trust any of them
Injuns"
Squaw Man Gives Warning
The sad record of the treachery and
murder of the peace makers is briefly
as follows: Commencing about the
fifth of March, 1873, diplomatic nego-
tiations between Jack and General
Candy were carried on until April 10;
Jack endeavOring to get the general
and his aides into his power and muir
der them, and the general trying Oil
his part to secure honestly and fairly,
just terms of peace between Jack and
his adheronts and the white settlers
Dozens Of messages were passed to
and from the opposing camps. TOBY
Riddle, the white man with an Indian
wife, and who understood the Modoc
language acted as interpreter and GO
between, and repeatedly warned Can
by that 1t would not be safe for him
to meet Capt. Jack in council.
The negotiations proved that the

Indian was more than match for the

finally agreed to meet the Peace Com

tcndcnt of Indian Affairs, a. Il. Mca
cham, and indian Agent l.. $. Dyer
ana meet them at Il point one mle
from the sold ers, without guards, and
all to go unarmed jack to lie accom-
panied by FIVE of his warriors.
Toby Riddle still opposed the meet
ing and warned Candy of his danger.
Meacham and Dyer also both opposed
the meeting, fearing a trap. but vic'd.
Cd to the wishes Of Candy and Thorn
as. But 80 earnest was Riddle in his
opposition to the meeting and deter
mined to be not blamed for results h"

him 10 the tent of Col. Gillcm who was
sick and there made before Gillcm u

ut the place selected. and admitted
that he would go along rather than he
called coward; and then urged, each
man to arm himself with a small p!s-
tOl concealed on his person SO that (
betrayed, they would have something
with which to defend themselves.
"LilSe Lambs to Slaughter"
This suggestion was spurned By
Candy and the preacher, but adopted
by Meacham and Dyer. Candy trusted
to the army, and Thomas to God, to
see them safe through. The point Sc
lected by Jack was a depression in the
lava bed rocks, favorable to an am
buscade; and into this trap the peace
commissioners went like lambs to the
slaughter on the morning of April H.
1873.
Arriving at the rendezvous, all sat
down around camp fire Candy Of
tered the Modocs cigars, which were
accepted. and all smoked for a while

an address, talking in fatherly way
