These people tell the following story: Messrs. Boddy and Scheira took up three quar ter sections of land near the liiautir of Lost river lost August, and settled there with their families. On the morning of November 29th Capt. Jack’s band of Indiai.s were attacked on Lost river by a party of volunteers and compelled to retire. Hooker Jim and his party of Modocs were on the north side of the river from Capt. Jack, but knew of the latter’s defeat, and during the forenoon of the same day Poddy aud Sehiera were murder ed by Hooker Jim and bis associates while they were cutting wood aud herding sheep within a mile of their house, and utterly unconscious of danger. The agent of the Yuinox re servation had promised the settlers that if any offensive movement ngaiust the Indians should be made they would be notified in time, to afford them an opportunity to obtain safe refuge; but the messenger sent by the agent failed to perform his duty, thereby facilitat ing the nmssacre, and the arrival of Bobby’s team without n driver, and the blood upon the wagon, was the first intimation of the terrible tragedy the poor women received. Before noon they found the bodies of the murdered men, stripped of all their clothing, at different points within a few miles of the house. They also met the Modocs, Hooker Jim, Long Jim, Curly-headed Doctor, One-eyed Mouse, Roek Dave, Hump Jerry and Mrs. Hooker Jim, who were all im plicated in the massacre. While the Indians went to the house to find the other male-victims,these women escap ed, aud traveled night and day, suffer ing many hardships, and reached the house of Mr. Rapp in a completely exhausted condition. Gen. Davis re ceived the women kindly, heard their story, assigned them to a tent, and promised to assist them to recover their stolen goods. This morning Hooker Jim and Steamboat Frank, who had just returned from a scout after three or four missing Modocs, were taken to the tent occupied by these women. Hooker Jim was identified by Mrs. Boddy as one of the Italians concerned in the massacre. In response to some remark about the robbery of the house, Hooker Jim said that Long Jim took “Long Purse,” and he (Hooker Jim) took “Short Purse.” At this point of the interview the women became great ly excited, begun crying, lost all con trol of themselves, and started in for the desperate work. Mrs. Sehiera drew a pistol and went lor Steamboat Frank, and Mrs. Bobby drew a knife and dashed at Hooker Jim. General Davis interposed and disarmed both women, receiving in the struggle a slight wound in the palm of his hand near the thumb by a kuife in Mrs. Boddy’s hands. The savagas during this scene stood like statues; they never spoke nor offered resistance. It galls Capt. Jack and his comrades in custody to see Hooker Jim and Steamboat Frank traveling to and fro at will, and armed at that. He docs not understand the consequences of turning State’s evi dence. This afternoon lie became greatly excited, and gave vent to his rage in a fiery oration. He rose in his chains with Schonchin, and in a stron and impressive manner, recited his grievances. The purport of what he said is told by Scar-Faced Charlie. “He is mad,” says Charlie, “to see that the white men no treat us all alike.” He also complained that while in the lava beds a portion of his fellow-cap tives were waning in their symiiatliies with him. An officer of the guard came in and compelled him to desist in his wailing. There are now one hundred and thirty-one Modocs under guard here. Boyue’s G'ami*, June 9.— Gen. Davis proposes to take cavalry, a light battery of the 4th artilleiy. and infant- ry.’and march through the I\ la moth country to Forts Warden and Harney, and as far north as Wnlln-Wnlla, for the'purpose of intimidating Indians, The preliminary orders for this move ment have already Iicen issued. leader caught hold of the mules, unhitched the team, cutting the har ness, Fairchild clinging to the lines, leaped to the ground. The poor wretches implored for mercy and beg ged Fairchild to save them. The war riors were uuarmed and knew resistance was useless. They were the coolest in the party, although facing inevitable death; but the women and children shrieked, groaned and wept piteously. Fairchild had nothing hut a small pistol, and six inches from his ear was the muzzle of a needle gun. He says ti e tears came in his eyes, nnd he min gled his entreaties with those of the Modocs, in hojies the massacre might lie avoided, lie adds it was terrible. The scene was one I never shall forget. I shudder wheu 1 think what I saw, and hear the tearful voices of those women and children still ring in my cars, hut the cowardly hound: , iy n not to be balked- A shot aud Little John lay dead in the wagon, with a bullet in bis brain. The mules (Lashed away with Fairchild, who became en tangled in the linos. More shots were fired in rapid succession, liy which Tehee Jack, Poney and Moorch were killed, and Little John’s squaw fright fully wounded in the shoulder. Away ahead on the road, in the direction of Boyle’s Camp, a cloud of dust was preeeived, indicating the approach of a team. The murderers espied the dust and shortly afterwards were riding rapidly away. Sergt. Murphy, of Batter^' G, 4tli Artilery, with ten men and a teamster, came up to the scene of the massacre. The sergeant t'»ok charge of affairs and remained with his men on the grounds. Fairchild, the teamster and a wounded squaw, with her two children, caine in at 2 o’clock this morning. It is generally supposed that the guilty parties were Oregon volunteers. Fairchild is of that opinion himself. The warriors killed were not charged witli murder. Those who know them best say they have only participated in open fights. Every one here condemns the affair as atrocious and without ex cuse. There is no doubt but the mur ders were carried out ufion a carefully arranged plan, as Fairchild noticed horsemen on the road ahead and be hind him. When the shots were fired, had John Fairchild instead of James been presented, another murder might have been added to the list, as the Or egonians are bitter in their hatred to John, the old man, and the other Cali fornians. The Warm Spring Indians have only a few weeks longer to serve. Sergeant Clinton is fast failing. [SECOND DISI’ATCn.J Boyi.e’s Camp, June 8, 3, p. m.— An interview between General Davis, Capt. Jack and Schonchin has just terminated. The Modoc chief says he was incited to his cruel warfare by Allen David, chief of the Klnmaths.

There are other Indians lurking in this vicinity, and they will likely lie captured in a few days. San Francisco, June 9. — Dis patches from Boyle’s camp dated 8th. relate the particulars of an atrocious massacre of Modoc prisoners, supposed to have been pcrjietraled by Orcg< n volunteers. Saturday morning James Faiic’iild and aliout twelve other men left Fairchild’s rancho, Cottonwood Creek, with seventeen Modoc captives including women and children, and Shack Nasty Jim, Bogus Charlie, Jack, Pony imd Little John/ The Indians were in a wagon dniwn by four mules. At the crossing of Lost river the party encountered a body of Oregon volunteers under command of Capt. Alger.' Tlio soldiers'gathered aliout the wagon and questioned Fair- child. The latter told them fhc In dians were all Hot Creeks except Lit tle John, and that there were no charges against them. Fairchild un dertook to push on to Boyle’s Camp, :::: 1 the volunteers retired to their camp near Crowley’s. On the road, Fairchild saw two men ahead, riding to Rocky Point, as if to intercept him. When the team approached the two men, one of them presented a needle guu nt Fairchild,saying: “Getdown, you old white head.” “ By what authority?” said Fairchild. “By mine, Iaingoim; to kill the Indians Tlic Tax Ordinance.
