AS J a Mt tacked the ranch of a eetiler named Brotberton, killed the bead of tbe family, hla two adult sons, and a hired man, and laid aieaa to the ranch houae in which lira. Brotberton bad tcken refuse with her two little bcya. he waa a woman of greet courage, and with her own hands bar ricaded all the prsslbie entrance te tbe building, armed both tbe boy a with rl9. and took one herself, and held the fort for twenty-feur h-ur, killing two of the band and wounding eta. As soon as the Indians had raiaed the siege and made off. lira. Brotberton end her sons slipped out of tlie cabin, and, be tween walking and running, managed to gain a military camp, about twenty miles away, and rave the alarm. General Canby. tbe local commander, at once organised an expedition under Lieutenant Colonel Frank Wheaton now a retired major general to foroe the Indians out of the 1m va beds, where tbey were intrenching themselves, and back to their reservation. Wheaton appeared te have thought rather lightly of his task, for, in a letter acknowledging receipt of his orders, he aaid: "I have men ready to start for tbe lava beda. All are nihuaias:ic. We will meet Captain lack about day after tomorrow, and I think that air. Jack will soon report at Fort Klasnath, lashed to the pommel of my saddle. He was so sure of a epecdy cap ture of the whole bend that be urged that the Indian office make the uecersry ar rangements la advanoe for taking care of tbe prisoners. He bad counted without his host. True, all hla preparations had been carefully aade for surrounding Jacks stronghold and attacking It at daybreak tbe morning after the arrival of tbe troopa. but Jacs was too much of a general to submit te that, bout sunset, and without warning, he gave the signal to Lis warriors to begin tbe battle themselves. The Moducs were tairty wen armed and understood handling tbetr weapona, and from behind every jut ting lump of lava cam. a shot which told. Tbe troopa, taken wholly by surprise, re turned the fire wildly, and a soon as night -fell were glad to retire, with tbe loaa of eight killed and twenty wounded men. and thirty head of boraea, abandoning their wagon train entirely and retreating te a ranch thirty miles distant. De-fet of tbe White ftalaiere. The result of this Bret eooounter, which occurred la January, UV spread dismay throughout tba region. Relnf pros men is were harried forward from the nearest paiata. until body of sue addliioua regu lars bad reported te Wbsaton. and Colonel A. C. GUiem of the cavalry followed to take command. Meanwhile, however, the li of the east, at tba Instance of tug advsoata el tba "pesos pulley," had recently come into rogue, made so loud an outcry against further bloodshed that the Washington authorities counter manded Gillem's orders for a fresh expedi tion, and tbe president appointed A. B. Meacham of Oregon. A. at. Rose n borough of California and a Methodist clergyman I named Thomas as a peace commission to I treat with Jack and try to bring him to terms by moral suasion. General Canby was Instructed to Join this commission and teiet It In th reon. j The commission approached the lava beds In February and sent in a menseriger with I a flag of truce to invite Jack to a peace ' pow-wow. Jack was 111 disposed to parley, especially as he hud long cherished a grudge against Meacham individually. But attached te tbe government party was a ranchman nroed Falrchild. whom tbe Mo docs knew and had always liked, and the chief sent word out that he would meet Fairchild and another white man named Steele of Treka. Cal., on a certain day. which he named. If they would come with only a few companions of their own choos ing, unarmed and without any soldiers. Steele was a lawyer who had once de fended a group of Modocs prosecuted for rattle stealing, and they regarded him as friendiv. Fairchild and Steele accepted the Invitation, though realising the haaard ous character of tbe enterprise, and se lected three newsiper correspondents for their rompaniona, but Imposed the condi tion that live unarmed warriors should be sent out by Jack to act as the escort for the white party. General Canby also sup plied them with a few hundred cigars to distribute among the braves before talk began. Hooker Jim. Bosm Charley. Bogus Charley, and Bhacknasty Jim constituted the escort that came out to meet tbe whites, and Bear-Faced Charley. Jack s head lieutenant, joined the party later The parleying crew were led into the heart of the lava leds by a tortuous and hidden trail, and found themselves In a natural fastness formed by volcanic action. The took with them some paf-k animals laden with bacon, flour and other edibles as a peace offering for the Indians. Before starting Steele addressed a few words of warntcg to tbe newspspnr correspondent A Dsssefesi I adrrtakla. "Gentlemen." said be, "this undertaking but be made a esccess or fatal failure by The degree of discretion you show. Keep ceo.. Io not talk te Ute Indiana leave all that te Fatrrhild and myself. Submit to any indignity, snainiaia a conciliatory air throughout, and de what we d without question. If Captain Jack aaks whs you are. we will expleia that yuu are bn wbe write fur the newspapers that pass under the cy of the Great Father , and that you will take careful note and report faith- fully any grievances he may have to make j known." These Instruction were obeyed j to the letter. j The Indians were far from cordial In i their greeting, but atwtained from any overt act of hostility. They did, however, I without se much as a grunt of apprecia tion, make off with the provisions the ; whites had brought and feasted on these while the guests were left to cheer their stomachs with a little coffee. A formal i council of some duration was held, at i which, after Jack had opened the dlncue- j sion with s short talk. Fairchild and Bteele ; assured the Indians that the Great Futi.er waa much grieved at the way his red children had acted and would feel still worse on learning that this peace commis sion was not going to be kindly received, Ja"k rerponee was a tirade ag .inet Meacham, whom he denounce for rome reason as having hrougl.t all their troubles upon the Modoca. But at the eud, t'.ough with a savage and threatening gleam lu nls eye. he announced his willingness to me.t the Great Father s emissaries bye and bye. Night having fallen, the atilte vixliors were informed that they were expected to remain where tbey were till morn;! g They were distributed among certain promi nent Indians as bedfellows and kept under close guard. In the morning another coun cil was held, and then Jaik let them de part, calling out as tbey drew a long breath and hurried away: "I'eacLam you tell Meacham me want him come. Me want see Meacham." Although the word were uttered with aa attempt at sobriety of manner the bystanding Indians un doubtedly placed a special Interpretation uiwn them, judging by the coarse laughs and grimaces with which they were re ceived. SI a ! of ike raasstselosera. a few weeks later a council waa arranged between the Modocs and the peace commis sioners. Canby. Meacham. Thomas, a white man named T'yer and Frank Riddle, an in terpreter, met Jack, Boston Charley, Borus Charley. Sliacknasty Jim, Hooker Jim. etchunchin, Ellen Man, Tobey and B'su Jim. AH the negotiators were supposed te be unarmed. After some preliminaries Jack proceeded to slate the terms under which his band would resume their normal relatione vith the government. He had got as far aa te name the site which be wished lb government t give them for home, and the own mission had made partial promise that they should have It, when suddenly be thrual his band Into bis bosom and drew forth a revolver, which be aimed at Canby s bead, at tbe same moment pull ing tbe tnger. Only the cap exploded. He tried another barrel at once, and sent a J bullet through tba general tarsia. Canby bad tried to escape, but Jack and Ellen's Man had pursued him, and as be fell thry stripped him of his clothing. Then Ellen's Man put another bullet Into his bead. Dyer and Riddle broke and ran. Iyer covering his retreat with a pistol, which be had till then concealed; both escaped, Boston Charley bad drawn a revolver oa Dr. Thomas st tbe same time that Jack had attacked Canby. The minister received ! the buliet In his breast. Just above the heart, and dropped upon his knees, begging j hie assailants to shoot no more, as he was i already wounded unto death. Their re- ! s;onse was to push 1dm over and mock him j about his religion, shouting at him: "why don't your medicine turn the bullets? Isn't It strong enough?" Finally Bogus Charley, placing the muxxle of a frun against the tying man's head, blew a hole through it, whhe his lijj were moving In prayer. The murderers strlpied his body also. Meacham, who hed been simultaneously attacked by Schonchin. made a hard fight for his life. He was shot In different parts of the lire and head, and fell, as the In dians supposed, dead. Hs was bald; but Host on Charity, who was resolved to have his scalp in some way. whipped out dull potketknlfe and hacked wsr at the un co end skin till a sqsw whom the victim had once befriended Interfered, shouting that the soldiers were coming. The Indians engaged In tie bloody business scattered tnd Meachain's Lfe was saved by the ruse, though he was always a semi-invalid after that and disfigured out of ail semblance te his former sell General Jefferson C. Tavis took the field against the Modocs and after a stubborn f.gbt captured the band. Jack and three of his most savage followers were hanged. The rest were gent te the liidiui Territory aa prtHonen of war and wamod that thry would have to stay there taenty-five year Many of them died In captivity. Toward the close of tiielr long sojourn a few of the band had wandered back into the country from which they came, thtir spirit broken and their bodies weakened by the climatic change te which they bad been subjected. Scar-Faced Charley a as among those whs fell victim to consumption without seeing their old home again. Back of the first outbreak related bar had been a story of maaaacr of set tiers by the Modocs in the early 'Sos, and the vengeance taken for this by Ben Wright and a company of whit frontiersmen, a he Lad fe&ied the Indians with much the same treachery that th Indiana showed te the peace oommiaaion. taking advantage of them under cover of flag tif truce. They liad nursed this wrong for twenty years before wiping It out os tba persons of Gen era! Canby and his civlUaa colleague. Tork Evening Fust.
