News from Boy les Camp, Tule Lake
remnsuia, June stn, at noon, gives
the particulars, herein condensed, of
as disgraceful and atrocious an act of
cold-blooded murder as was ever per-
petrareu on tins coast :
About daylight yesterday morning.
John and James Falrchiid and a dozen
other citizens left Falrchild's ranch on
the banks of the Cottonwood Creek
with seventeen Modoc captives, includ
ing Bogus Charlev. Shacknastv Jim.
Tyhee Jack, Poney, Little John and
Mooch. John ratrchld. Bogus and
Shacknasty, and all the white men save
lames being mounted and armed rode
in advance, soon after the start, leav
ing the balance of the party several
miles behind, James had the Indians
in a wagon drawn by four mules. At
the crossing of Lost river, late In the
afternoon, James came across the
Oregon Volunteers under Captain
Hiser, who were in camp and en route
for home. The members of the com
pany were scattered around the camp
and engaged In various occupations,
but upon the approach of the Indians
they ran and armed themselves, and
then gathered around the wagons.
At this point a long conversation oc
curred between Fairchild and Capt.
Hiser, in regard to who these Indians
were, etc., after which Fairchild and
the train moved on. Shortly after
ward, about two miles from Crawley's
house on Lost River.
THE TRAIN WAS STOPPED BV TWO
ARMED MEN
Who presented cocked needle guns to
Falrchild's head, said they were going
to kill the Indians and Fairchild, too.
They unhitched the mules from the
wagon and cut the harness, Fairchild
had no arms except a small pistol, and
the Indians were entirely unarmed.
In a moment there was a shot, and
little John lay dead in the bed of tlie
wagon, with a bullet in his brain.
The tour mules dashed away with
Fairchild aud tangled him in the har
ness. Five more shots In rapid succes
sion and Tee hee Jack, Pony, and
Mooch, the remaining warriors, were
dead, and Little JoluPs squaw had a
frightful wound iu her shoulder.
Away ahead in the road and in the
direction of Boyle's camp was a cloud
of dust, indicating the approach of a
team and hurrldly at that; the murder
ers espied tin dust and in a moment
were riding rapidly away. Sergeant
Murphy of Battery G. 4th arilUory, 1
with tn men anil teamster, cam by
the teams. The Sergeant took charge
of affairs and remained with his men
on the ground, and FairchikL the
teamster and the wounded squaw and
her two children came hither. At 2
o'clock this morning Falrchiid reached
Gen. Davis' headquarters aud related
his story. Teams with an escort were
at once sent out after the prisoners,
dead ant) alive. No steps were taken
for the apprehension of thefellons who
performed the bloody work. It is gen
erally supposed that the Oregon Volun
teers are the guilty parties. Falrchiid
is of the opinion himself that the war
riors killed were not charged with
murder. Those who knew them best
say that they have only participated
in open fight; every one here condemns
the affair as atrocious and without ex
cuse. There is no doubt but the mur
ders were carried out upon a carefully
arranged plan as Mr. Falrchiid noticed
horsemen on the road ahead and behind
h'm when the shots were fired. Had
John Falrchiid, instead of James, been
present, another murder might have
been added to the list as the Oregon!
ans are bitter in their hatred of John,
the old man and other, Californians.
One Day's List of Suicides
in Pabi8. There were no fewer
than eight suicides in one day in
Paris lately. A lady in the Roe
de la Pepiniere strangled herself
with a cord at 8 o'clock in the
morning leaving every one in ig
norance of the cause of her fatal de
termination. At the same hour a
man precipitated himself from the
Austerlitz bridge in to the Seine.
A printer followed his example
later on in the afternoon. Then a
young ma adopted the strange
method of throwing himself under
the feet of omnibus horses, and was
mortal !y injured. Two cases of de
liberate suffocation took place, one
being by a yong man crossed in love.
The saddest ot the eight deaths was,
however, that ot two girls youg and
poor, who, after dancing all night
at the ball of the Parisian "Flor
ists," agreed quietly to put an end
to their existence. One ot these,
Angelique Laehemy, died for the
very simple reason that she was
tired of life. The other, Eugenie
Hardy, committed suicide from cha
grin caused by disppointment in
love. Both ot these girls were
only fifteen years old.
The African Fly. One of the
most extraordinary tacts revealed
to us by Dr. Livingstone's explora
tions in Africa is that the high table
land of the interior, with its rich
agricultural resources, its noble
flora, its fine temperature, broad in
land seas, and inexhaustible store
of mineral wealth, is rendered all
but impenetrable to civilized man,
certainly beyond all reach of coloni
zation, by one of the most apparent
ly insignificant ot causes fly.
This terrible insect is a little brown,
yellow-striped fly, call the tseUe,
scarcely larger than our common
household pots, but whose sting is
absolutely fatal. So deadly is its
poison that it is said three or four
flies will kill a large ox Soon af
ter the bite which gives little or no
pain, staggering and blindness
comes on ; the body swells to an
enormous size; the coat turns rough,
and iu a tew hours follow convul.
sums and death. And yet this
deadly poison, under the effect of
which the horse aud ox, the sheep
and the dog, fall as if plague-stricK-
en. is perfectly harmless to man. to
wild animals, to the pig, mule, a-,
goat. Here is an achievement for
science that would bring glory to
the discoverer the discovery of
some antidote to the sting of this
venomous fly, which would open
the treasures of Central Africa to
the use of the world.
Newspaper mistakes are scarcely
unavoidable. Every issue of many
journals involves the placing of 150,
000 types. Out of that number
some will be wrongly placed, in
spite of the best of care. A Pitts
burgh paper made a rather ridicu
lous blunder lately and yet there
was only one letter out ot place.
The editor said "The Legislature
pasted (passed) t ha-bill over the
Governor's head." "
