Modocs Back to Klamath Alter Many Years JZ? jz? j& Old Time Stories are Recalled Hie expected arrival of a number ol Modoc Indians at the Klamuih Indian agency within the near fu ture, where thoy will receive allot ments of land and a share in (lie tribal funds of the reservation, has icxivcd memories of tho incidents that led to tho exiling nf the Modocs from their former haunts and the net lit congress of March, lOUd. which removed tho liability of the Miuloi., bus nindo many of the old pMmears bore, who "remombor the fioreo war that led to their exile, feel like the cowboy did who lis tened to n sermon on the prodigal on. Whuu the cowboy was akwl bv the divino what ho thought ot the fconuoD, the cowpunchor replied: "Well, with all duo rosjiuct to the Book, I believe that if I had had the sav I would have kept the calf and killed the son." The old pioneerB feel that it U pl.uiiig a premium on disloynltv ii permit the Indians who refused lo occupy the roscrwtlion when the.v could have done so, and fought the troops who went after them, to if turn at this late day and share in the division of the tribal funds when they have already had an allotment of hind in what is now Oklahoma. The 'JUUth of November, the mini verxury of the commencement of the terrible Modoc war, which be gan on that ilny in 187'J, has brought to th mind of the pioneer till Ihing i id rocolleetiou of tho horror of that bloody period. On the morning of November '2il. 1872. Coloual Jnekfon hiuI m number ot xoldierV nsle to a point about two miles below the prtiMMit town of Merrill mid vmleavured to compel Captain Jack, u Modoc chief, ami hU bawl to return to tho Klsmatli ioervation. where they Imd been al lotted land. This they refused to do, ami a battle euued in whieh the whites were worsted. The Modoos then fled to the lava beds on thu alio res of Tide lake, and for six long mouths the little baud of warriors defied all tho United blutos troops thai were sent against thorn. Thoc six mouths wore tle bloodiest that United States soldiers ever haw. More men were killed and more money spent, conoiduriug tho num ber bought to bo captured, to sub due tho little baud of Modou war riors than weio over spent in a similar oxpedition bufoic or sinca. Tho controversy ended with the cap ture of the Modoc in May, 18711, and the banging of Captain Jack and throe of his chiol tains in Oc tober of that year. The remainder of those who had taken part in the war were exiled to the Indian terri tory, and there allotted an abiding place. It '- mt until the act of emigre, ni Mub, 1(108, that lh" woro allowed to return to thoir fir mer home. Now it is understood that a num ber of them are on their wuy here, and when the. arrive they will re ceive their allotments the same as though they had never rebelled against the government. Besides, they wen) restored to all thoir tribal rights and will be permitted to nharc in' the diwtributioii of any of the tribal funds. One of these funds i: that rofciwd from tho sale of lauds resulting from an erroneous survey of the rooralio)i.
