tal United States was reported for 1J)06, according to the
United States census of religious bodies for the same year,
as detailed in the Uuitcd tSates census bureau's special
report on the subject, now in press. Of this grand total
the various Protestant bodies reported 20,2S7,742 and the
Roman Catholic church 12,679,142.
For purposes of comparison, the census authorities di
vided the. principal cities into four classes, those having in
1900 a population of 300,000 and over constituting the first
class, those of from 100,000 to 300.000 forming the sccoud,
those of from 50,000 to 100,000 making tho third, and those
of from 25,000 to 50,000 forming the fourth class.
Of the Protestant aggregate there were 1,478,145 or
7.3 per cent in the first class cities, 4.7 per cent in the sec
ond, and 7.4 per cent in the third and fourth classes com
bined, while S0.6 per cent were outside the principal cities.
Of the Roman Catholic church's total membership there
were 3,375,453 or 27.9 per cent in first class cities, 1,361,-
132 or 11.3 per cent in the second, 1,570,944 or 13 per cent
in the third and fourth classes combined, with 5,771,613
or 47.8 per cent outside the principal cities.
It is seen, therefore, that the number of members of
the Roman Catholic church reported in cities of the first
class was considerably more than double the number re
ported by all the Protestant bodies, while outside of the
principal cities the number reported by the Catholics was
only a little over one-third of the number credited to the
Protestants. It is pointed out in the report that the
strength of the Protestant bodies, as compared with the
Roman Catholic church, is greatly understated.
Only two of the Protestant bodies reported a majority
of their membership in the principal cities, i. e., the Church
of Christ, Scientist, 82.6 per cent, and the Protestant Epis
copal church, 51.2 per cent, while of the membership of
the Jewish congregations 88.7 per cent are in the principal
cities, and of the Eastern Orthodox churches 70.7 per cent.
Of the total number of communicants or members re
ported for the principal cities by all denominations, 6,307,-
529 or 60 per cent belonged to the Roman Catholic church,
and 3,935,341 or 37.4 per cent to Protestant bodies.
Comparison with the report for 1890 shows that in gen
eral there has been an increase in the proportion of commu
nicants or members in the principal cities as compared with
those outside of these cities. In 1906 the percentage of
the total number of communicants in these cities for all
denominations was 31.9 as compared with 25.7 in 1890.
Of the total number, 10,511,178, of communicants or
members in the principal cities in 1906, there were 7,343,
403 or 69.9 per cent reported by the 38 cities of over 100,-
000 population, and of these 2,432,630 or 33.1 per cent be
longed to Protestant bodies and 4,736,535 or 64.5 per cent
to the Roman Catholic church. The latter denomination
had in these cities about 75.1 per cent of its entire mem
bership in cities of over 25,000 inhabitants.
situated at Home little dUtnnuo uwuy.
Suspecting troaohory, tho Indians
refused to go, although Joo, lliuir
peace chief, tried to persuade them
to do so. Sum, his brother, had re
cently returned to tho raneheria for
safety.
At this moment John Galviu, ouo
of Steel's Yrokans, nidoly pushed
the muzzle of his rifle against an
Indian's naked back, desiring him lo
move toward tho eabin. Tho savage
made a natural motion to resent tho
indignity, when Guhiu shot him
dead. Fighting immediately took
plaeo. Tho dismayed and over
matched Indians got behind trees or
sprung into the river and all wan
confusion. Those of the savages
who were on tho north side began
firing, but without effect, and hostil
ities only ceased when 13 Indians had
been killed. No white men were in
jured. Old Joo, tho peace chief,
clasped his arms about Martin An
uell mid clung desperately to him for
protection. Ho was saved from hi
impending fnto by Angel! and two or
three others, who kept off tho ox
cited throng of white".
Fighting ceased, and arrangements
were made for tho morrow's opera
tion. Steele, with his Yrokans, agreed
to move up tho river to a certain
point, cross tho stream at Hailoy's
ferry and eomo down on tho north
bank to tho vicinity of the rauclioria.
A detachment of Lamerick's com
pany, embracing mainly tho settlors
who had proffered their services,
was appointed to go down tho river,
cross and gain tho top of uppor Tn
blo Rock, whonco thoy could com
mand tho vicinitv.

Old Tolo, Tyee John of Scott val
ley, and Tyee Jim offered themselve i
as hostages to sccura the white-,
against tho Shastas, anu accompan
ied Elijah Steele to Yreka, where the
real culprits were supposed to have
fled. All were convinced that the
Shastas had nothing to do with the
murder, and that it was most prob
ably committed by Rogue River In
dians, who, it was said, had been
seen in the vicinity nnd who had now
gone north to join Tipsu Tyee, or
tho bands on tho river near Table
Rock. There was a great deal of
excitement at Yreka concerning the
matter, and the court of sessions au
thorized Steele to apprehend the sus
pected parties, it not being supposed
that much time or travel would bo
necessary to enable him to comply.
The undertaking, however, proved
an arduous one. and Steele and his
11 companions, who included John
Qalvin, Peter Snellbaok, James Bruce
(aftenvards major in tho war of
1855-50), Frank Morritt, John Mc
Leod, Dr. L. S. Thompson, Jnmcs
White, the two hostages and a Klick
itat Indian named Bill, rode to Rogue
river in tho search, taking two In
dians captive on tho way. Tho first
of these attempted to escape, but
was shot by Klickitat, who was do
tailed to pursue him. Tho dead man
had been sent out, it was concluded,
to persuade the Shastas to join
Sam's band in a proposed war
against tho whites. The other pris
oner was well mountod and armed
and proved to bo a son of Tipsu
Tyee, tho enigmatical chief who
dwelt in tho Siskiyous. Ilim they
took along, and hearing that there
was a prospect of finding thoir ref
ugees nt tho general enenmpment of
the Rogue Rivers, kept on to that
stream. Farther along thoy mot
Judge A. A. Skinner, the Indian
agent, and by him were requested to
enmp at Big Bend, where ho had or-'
ranged for a conference of whites
mid Indians on tho morrow.
Certain grievances had arisen be
tween tho Indians and whites which
nt this distant day cannot be fully
mado out. Chief among these griev
ances, it was said, was tho desire of
"Young Sam," son of Tyee Sam, tho
principal war chief, to possess tho
hand and heart of littlo Miss Am
brose, daughter of Dr. Ambrose, af
terwards Indian agent, and who, liv
ing with him family on an agricul
tural claim adjoining T'Vault's nt
tho Dardanelles. But this is doubt
less a mistake, as tho writer is in
formed that tho young lady in ques
tion had not vet reached two years
of ago. The cause was a more triv
ial one, it is said, and coneerned" only
a piece of beef.
Tho settlers near by, alurnted for
tho safety of themselves nad fam
ilies, applied to tho people of Jack
sonville for assistance, nnd a com
pany numboring some 28 or 30, all
young men, under tho command of
J. K. Lamorick, of after celebrity,
proceeded instantly to thoir assist
ance, arriving on Big Bend, in front
of and across tho river from tho
Indian raneheria, a short time pre
vious to Steel's arrival. Besides tho
companies of Lamorick and Steele,
quite a number of neighboring set
tlers had gathorod thore, anxious to
sco tho result of tho proceedings, and
these being armed, attached them
selves to Lamerick's, company in or
der to assist in tho expected engage
ment. Tho whole of Joe and Sam's
Indians were nt tho raneheria, and
considerable coaxing was necessary
to bring them to talk with tho whites.
Some crossed over nnd tho rest, em
boldened by Judge Skinner's prom
ises, also came to tho number of u
hundred or moro. Tho judgo, al
ways favorable to tho Indians, tried
to bring about a reconciliation, and
for this purposo proposed that both
