TT was now very plain to Cen
eral Gillem that the Modocs
were not going to be subdued
|by ordinary methods. Troops
were rushed TO the Lava Beds
from every available point, until
there were thousand soldiers on
the ground. Before they could get
into action, however, WORD was
received from Washington instruct
ling that Peace Commission be
formed to treat with the savages
for peace. The members of this
commission were General +. K. 5.
Candy, Rev. L. Thomas and Col
onel A. B. Meacham. Captain

acted as interpreters. No decision
was reached at the first days coun-
sci. Notwithstanding their wishes
were in a measure, respected re-
garding the land upon which they
were to be placed.
Another meeting was planned for
the 9th, at which it was hoped an
agreement could be reached. Cap
tain Jack asked that a reservation
be set aside for his people near
! Hot Creek, or else near the Fair
child ranch. This was refused.
Then asked that the destitute and
barren Lava Beds be given to his
people, "as no white man would
ever want to live in such barren
spot" To this the Commissioners
replied that nothing could be
granted until peace was first
made" Jack was insistent that "a
home be given to us in this coun-
| try" To this General Candy re-
torted, I'VE cannot make you that
promise; you and the whites could
not get along The Commission
ers told the Indians that they must
come under the white mans law,
and General Candy insisted that the
Modocs come out from their strong
hold under flag of truce. To
this Jack scornfully answered.:
Look here, Candy, when ! was a
boy a man named Ben Wright
called forty-five Of my people out
under flag of truce. How many
of them do you think got away with
their lives? Just seven of them. !
will not come out under a flag of
truce; | dare not do il"
Nothing was gained at this coun-
Gil. Neither side would yield to the
other. After the Commissioners had
departed, the Modocs went to their
stronghold and held a council of
war. They were greatly wrought
up over the refusal of the Com
missioners to grant them home
in the country where they and their
people had always lived. Black
Jim, one of the warriors, made a
motion that the Commissioners be
killed at the next peace talk. About
fifteen of the braves sided with
him. Captain Jack would not agree
to anything of the sort, insisting
that he would yet make the Com
missioners yield to him by sticking
to his point, and that he would yet
get his people the land they desired
for a reservation. "All ! ask is that
you people be patient and behave
yourselves and watt" he pleaded
Il do not want to do anything
rash; that will never do"
