M. Sat. Night Dial 8686 Wlnema, Oregon Pocahontas: Indian History of Modoc War by Jeff C. Riddle, her son: s u s (Continued from yesterday:) "The effort was successful and peace was declared, a peace that was continued, in so far as the Indians were concerned, among and "between themselves to this day. Numerous instances might be related ot Wlnema'a intervention between the races, whereby blood shed was averted. Suffice la to say that she was universally known as the woman - chief who could make peace, and who always calmed the threatening tempest arising from contact of races. "None knew her but to respect her. Not a word has ever been ut tered against her veracity and good character, sav the lncrea- ulitr of General Canby and Dr. Thomas during the existance of the Modoc peace commission in ' refusing to heed her warning as to the danger of meeting her kins men In the lava beds. "In the Klamath council of 1865, she again demonstrated her power for good by securing -the attendance of Captain Jaek, who had refused to come at te Invi tation of the government, In this council it was agreed by all par ties that both Sconchln and Cap tain Jaek should be- recognized as chiefs. This compact was breken bv the agent of the government and Captain Jack thus justified himself in leaving the reservation. "Shortly after the withdrawal of her cousin Captain Jack from the reservation, Wlnema vis ited hist at his home on Lost riv er. She besought him to return to the reservation, and obtained his consent on certain conditions. Wlnema was unable to secure the performance of the conditions, and Captain Jack did not go back at that time. "W The Pit River Indians occupied the country south ot the Modocs. The two tribes have long been enemies. The Pit Rivers were not parties to the treaty at Yreka. Ralds from either side were com mon. The latter made a success ful raid Into the Modoc country. driving away a large number ot horses belonging to the allied tribes. Wlnema, being on a visit to her people, shared the loss. Frank had given her a very fine saddle horse. This annimal was among those stolen by the Pit Rivers. The. pursuit was organized, and with it went our heroine, deter mined to save her horse. The cap tors were overtaken, and found to be in strong force; an engage ment ensued, and the pursuers were driven back; Wlnema as snmed command. Another fight was had. The outcome was doubt ful. The woman chief encouraged her braves. They had not consent ed for her to take the advance, and, enraged by the defection ot some of her fighting men, she made a charge at the head of her braves with such audacity and skill that the Pit Rivers, accus tomed to fight individual style. each man for himself, were taken by surprise and completely rout ed. leaving three dead warriors and the stolen horses in posses sion of the Modocs. Winema re fused to allow the dead Indians to be scalped or mutilated. Satis fied with the recovery of the horses and the victory over her enemies, she saddled her recap tured mount, bade her people to follow, and led the way to Lost river. "Some of the Modoc braves who were of this party declare that the woman chief can whip any man chief. Those wbo have seen her only in repose cannot form an idea of her wonderful courage and daring spirit. Few men, ot wo men, of any race or tribe, have exhibited such examples of per sonal courage and sagacity as Winema. S " "There is a man named Eliot. living at Yreka, who does not hesitate to declare that to Wine ma he owes his life. He was en gaged in combat with a Shasta Indian, when the squaw of the latter came to the assistance of 'her man with a drawn revolver. Winema, taking in the danger, sprang forward, wrenched the pis tol from the hands ot the infuri ated squaw, tired it in the air above her head, then, holding her hands, compelled her to observe neutrality. The fight ended and no great harm was done. Winema brought the parties together, made terms ot peace, and the combatants became personal friends. "In the autumn of 1867, Wine ma ana r ran iook up a raucn a few miles distant from Yreka. Their home became the stopping, plaee for stock hunters, Indians and an occasional wayfarer. Frank being an old fashioned Keutuckian, always 'hung the latch string outside and gave welcome to everybody. He was never known to accept pay for meals or horse feed, except upon one occasion. One rainy evening In February, 1868, just as dark ness set in, a voice shouted. 'Hal lo!' Frank went to the door and found a pompous looking man sit ting on his horse. The stranger asked for lodging; it was grant ed, and his horse was put in the barn. A pine wood tire lighted up the cabin, and Wlnema prepared supper. The stranger was evident ly a merchant 'runner and, like nearly all smart minded men. made a great display by calling for extra sauces, napkins and such things as he knew were not in use among frontier people. "Winema was vexed; Frank bit his lips, and said but little. The stranger brought oat soma tine cigars, and, after lighting one for himself, began to talk glibly on the cost, saying inch cigars could not be bought In San Francisco short ot 20 cents each by tfce thousand. He acted as though he were ahont the only man worthy to be heard oa the occasion. He descanted loudly on the old times in the south; had much to way about abolitionism, miscegena tion,, pure blood, and other idle talk, taking pains to cay 'all good Indians are- tour feet under ground talked of the squaw men. a bed for him with snow white sheets, he threw himself upon it, without undressing, taking pains to exhibit a pistol, which he plac ed under the pillow. "The breakfast over, the fol lowing morning, he ordered his horse, as though he had been a lord, and, lighting another cigar without offering one to bis host, he waited for his horse. With the cigar elevated at an angle, he pompously aked for bis bill and was brought to his senses when Frank quietly informed him that he did. not run hotel gen erally, but had begun about 12 hour since, and, as the stranger was his tlrst patron, he would charge him only $12, saying. 'I would charge you nothing, but you talk so -rich and smoke such fine cigars yon had ought to nay according to your big talk.' The stranger began to -demur, but be fore he had' succeeded in drawing ais utile 'popgun Frank had cov- ered him completely with a 'nary.' and the pompous fellow paid the siu, jrrank meantime reading hint a short chapter upon miscegna tion that was new to him. Before -mounting, Frank banded bim the 112, saying- he had hoped that he would refuse to pay the bill, so he could have a good excuse for thrashing him and teaching him common sense and decency. S Soon after. Frank met with an accident which disabled him for several months. The farm comprised 30 acres of arable land, The rainy season began; Frank! was unable to plow. Wlnema, be ing physically robust, plowed the ground, sowed the barley, and. with little assistance, harvested the crop, hauled It to market, sold It, and saved the money. It was during this time that Wlnema demonstrated her ability to de fend her husband's honor. A Yan kee who had not 'acclimated well but had retained his native habit of 'arguing' things, came to Bid die's one day. and, after some talk about a MtxtLj horse, intimat ed that Mr. Riddle had behaved unmannerly in the matter. Wlne ma. taking In the situation, pitch ed Into Mr. Yank, and, before he knew it, his head was bleeding profusely end a strong hand was grasping his throat. He fought back as best he could, but the poor little Tank was in the hands of an enraged Modoc woman, who was pelting him in the face, say ing between her licks. I'll learn you how you talk about my man He begged for mercy, and Frank persuaded Winema to desist. Wlnema brought a basin of water and bathed the battered face of the Yank while she preached a short sermon on slandering his neighbors, finally asking him to stay tor dinner, which invitation the Yank accepted, and the whole matter was amieably adjusted by him receiving the assurance that the story of his whipping should not be told on him. When he met his friends he claimed to have been dragged by bis horse through the sage brush for a half mile, and his face and clothing supported the lie. The man is now one of the best friends of Wlnema and Frank on the Pacific coast." 1 . (Continued tomorrow.) POLK'SIO SEVELT BALL IS SUCCESS MONMOUTH, Feb. 1.
