which have been solemnly ihcbrpbfated by
the people, in the Constitution of the Uni

ties, it endeavors to t«-eat them all with
judicial fairness. It labors tb purify the
Administration of government, national,

in authority, whether in national, State, or
municipal affairs, take the lead in this
work, it will therein give them its cordial
support. But it can bt> the Sertdtor

material interests of the country. The
progress bf invention and of labor saving,

THE TRUE STORY OP CAPT. JACK, OWN SO N OF
CAPT. JOHN MURDOCK, LATE OP LINCOLN
COUNTY, KENTUCKY.
The cieiittiil figure, which is hbW
attractiiig more public attention than
any other in the UniJted States, is
Jack Modoc, the last rjf the distin
guished Indian braves. He is a cap
tive in the hands of his enemies man
acled ahd ironed u& if he was a pro
fessional red-handed murderer dr a
common highway robber. Since the
heroism of his deeds began to draw
toward him public notice, many news
papers have affected a discovery of
his parentage, ahd dne bdtitily after
another in Kentucky has claimed the
honor of-being the birth-place of his
father. During the time we have been
partially ehg&ged in the collection of
facts Wliifcli shall f&rever set at rest
the disputed question, who is, Cap
tain Jack, and who is Ins parents ?
From the best information we have
been enabled to gather, hb is tile son
of a native of Lincoln county, whose
name was John Murdock.
The ex&bt date of the birth of John
Mardbck we are not able to ascer
tain, but may safely say that he was
bom near Crab Orchard, in this
county, some time near the begining
of the present century. The reader
who is familiar with that pdrtioh of
the early history of Kentucky which
relates to Indian incursions, will
i-eiiiember that upon one occasion
a bahd of Indians ditaSkbd the htfn.se
of a widow lady near Crab Orchard,
and in the first rush upon her hdiise

dispatched him with an axe. She then
directed the negro’ to unbar the door
and let another Indian in, who met
with a similar fate. This piece of
work she kept up until several of the
savages* were killed in detail, and
the remainder abandoned the attack,

in years and stature, and at a very
early age developed a daring and

not lacking a considerable amount or
shrewdness, caution and low cunning

United States and Great Britlan had

isted in a regiment commanded by
Col. Taul, of Wayne county, while
passing tlii'diigll the tefftn of Stanford
on its march to the North. He serv
ed with more distinction than privates
usually attain to, and soon became
noted fbr his skill and services as a
scout. While in the enjdynfient of
lis popularity he was guilty of aii dßt
Os gro&S ihsiibordination —breaking
his gun over the adjutantst’s head-so

endured sullenly; Hdt offering any

ing, and in his baggage, which was
left, was found a scrawl announcing
his purpose to join the Indians and
wreak his vengeance on the whites
generally.
Nothing farther was heard from
him for several years,- but about the
year 1835 some fur traders happen
ed in this same region where he was
traping, and to them be made him
self known. He stated that after his
desertion of the whites he lived alter
nately with the Crows and Blackfeet;
but, a fetid springing up between
these twd tribes, each one suspected
him of adheriilg tb the other, 66 he

custom, young Jack Murdock, being

The Nez Perces never forgot the
injury; but ttertJ. tdd tVeak to avenge
it* They are known as the “Warm

learned it. Since he is of Lincoln
county origin, it is natural that dui*
sympathies should go dlft toward
him, and we trust that a better fate
awaits him than that which is now
