Mki;poiij Mail: I was very, much uurpriHod to receive a copy of your pape om Jackson ville a fow days ago, containing a tribute to tho memory of my old friend, Henry Klippol. This ad monishes mo that many of the old tlmerB, and those younger than- I, too, aro paosing away. Vour article is well written and bringa to mind many of the trage dies enacted in Southern' Oregon from '51 to '60. It's a wondor I now retain any hair on top of my head, as it waB at the disposal of the Umpipja, Grave Creok. and Rogue Kivor Indians at any and all times. I think they had more chances to have made me bald- headed than any other person in Southern Oregon. Barney K.Simmons and I located tho Gravo creek ranch in Decem ber, 'ol, being the first to make a mark of civilization there. It was considered tho worst point on the then mere trail between Oregon and California. In 1853 I stopped there by myself, when othors traveling through could not be induced to camp for the night. A grave was made there for Miss Leland Crowly, emigrant girl from Missouri, who died from coneumption and was iulorrod there in 1850. Dur ing tho war of '55-0 Grave creek was made the headquarters of Souiht-rn Battalion and called Fort Leland. You say Mr. Klippel participated n tbe battle of Hungry Hill Octo ber 30th. I had forgotten tbe exact late but thought it was the fore part of November, for I well remem her it wa a pretty cold, frosty night when all the different com panies left our place to tramp dowo the creek single file in the daik. I bad been to Roseburg after sup plies and got back just in time- to see them Btart. There must have been three companies of volunteers from Jackson County, two from Douglas County, three or four from the Willamette and CspU A. J. Smith's company of regulars from Fort Lane. There were perhaps eighty or ninety armed bucks. They bad taken a soap shot at us a few days before on Cow creek while we were on the wing. The bullets came whistling by and made beautiful music, only it was pitched on such a blood curdling, hair rais ing key that none of us seemed to enjoy it except Barney Simmons. He was footing.it. away back in the rear. X sung out to him "You 11 have to hurry, Barney, or get left." He said, "No, d if any Injin could run him." About that time a bullet went zip through bis shirt and burned his shoulder. He hunched, shrugged his shoulders looked back to see wbere it came from and consented to take a dog trot into camp. Well, the night the hoys left our place all bo cheery they little knew what they would run into. I had quite a talk with one of Capt. Smith's lieutenants before they started, and he gave me their plana. He said scouts had been out and had located the Si wash camp. They were on an eak Hat about eight miles down the oreek. "They were to start . after dark so as not to raise the suspicion of the natives; would time them selves to reaoh the camp before day light and surround them, and on first move of a redskin commence the slaughter. "Why," said ''you woa't kill squaws and ail?' "Ob, yos, we will; don't propose to leave anything to breed." I had to smile. I had made "Injin" a spe cial study and knew thorn as well as they knew themselves, and there was not an Indian on lower Rogue river, Grave creek, Cow oreek or South Urai,qua but what knew me, and I knew a number of them that did not know what fear was. They would face anything that wore hair. The Southern Battalion started dowu the creek that cold,' frosty, moonlight night. It was a weird soene. All were on foot and each man had a pair of blaukeU, a pone r bread, a slice of bacon and a gun, all muzzle loaders of course. Re sult They surrounded tho cemp all O. IC, but as thny closed in on it they found only the embers of thirty or forty campfirns, and not a living thing. They then took tbe trail which led them directly into a death trap. Tho Indians had passed over the ridgo and gone down into a deep canyon in a dense forest of fir trees and underbrush. They fought them thore all day, slept on their arms that night, und were to charge them at the crack of day. There were about vhirty killed and wounded. The Indians how ever, changed'- their program and the next morning at daybreak came to tbe top of the ridge, charged tbe whites and run them back to Fort Leland, the most dejected lot of men you ever saw. I asked the lieutenant for a scalp. Ho seemed well satisfied t saving his own. I presume I. have known Henry Klippel longer than any person in Jackson County. He came across tbe plains in 1851 with an ox train. Tbey must have started about the first of April from the Missouri. We, Brother O. B. and I, left Chi cago on the 10th of April, crossed the Missouri May 10th, and started with a horae train of thirty wagons, with Judge Denney, of Seattle, ae captain; Henry G. Hadley, of Eu gene, 1st Lieut. ; Aaron Rose, 2d Lieut. ; O. B. Twogood, secretary. e bad a good trip; no sickness All went well: until we reach sd Salmon- falls on Snake river. Here Mell Hadley was shot twelve railes from camp by an Indian that had stolen a horse. The bullet struck him Just below the right nipple and came out close to bis backbone We laid by there five days for him to die, but be got through all right. We had to leave our light sutler wagon and harness at Grand Ronde valley to help a family through (Never saw them again.). We, to accommodate, had to rkle our horses through on blankets. We came to the Cascade mountains on the Bar low road. At the east end it was swampy, with bis; ' mudholes, and here we came acioes a stripling; of a boy who had been left behind from an ox train. It seems that be was left behind to drive a big ox through that bad given out. He had a sack over his shoulder con taining a loaf of bread and a slice of fat pork, and seemed quite happy Shortly after passing him we heard the report of a pistol,' and we knew the1 ox had mired down and could not get out and that this ended bis misery. The boy oame on and camped with us that night. We made him a cup of coffee, loaned him a blanket, and he etarted on the next ' morning all right and this was Henry Klippel born in 1833, while I date back to '26. J. a. TWOGOOD.- Dr. O. W.
