A MIDNIGHT FLIGHT.
Reminiscence of the Indian War of 1856,
The year 18o0 was one of anxiety to
the few and scattered inhabitants of
Eastern Oregon and Washington. Ru
mors of an impending Indian outhreak
filled the air came with the winter's
snows but did not go with them. For
a year the columns of the Weekly Ore-
gonian had been filled with accounts
of the barbarous tortures inflicted upon
helpless immigrants who fell into the
hands of the hostile hordes in the east
ern portion of the territory." The ques
tion then with the wretched prisoners
was. not how long before a ransom or
exchange would bet them free, but how
long before death would release them
from the infernal tortures inflicted by
their captors. Once in their clutches
but few escaped to tell the awful tale.
The powerful Yakima nation, led by
the rioted Chief Kamiaken, were prac
tically on the war path, and their em
issaries were everywhere, urging the
Columbia river tribes to join in a war
of extermination against the whites
. The Klickitats, an important branch
of the 'Yakimas, withstood for a time
the importunities of their inland broth
' ers and gave up their arms ' to the au
thorities, without a word; but the
magot of unrest was industriously
working in the "military brain," and
the arrest of three ot the principal
chiefs of the tribe -was decided upon.
Mr. Joslyu, the pioneer Bettler of White
Salmon, a warm - hearted Christian
gentleman and an earnest friend of the
Indians, protested in vain against the
outrage. The then unsuspecting chiefs
were easily trapped, loaded with chains,
eent to Fort Vancouver and placed in
charge of the regular army. They soon
found means to evade the vigilance of
their guards and returned to their
tribe, who, with a few notable excep
tions, at once joined the hostiles.. This
occurred during the latter part of Feb
ruary, 1856. .
Mr. Joslyn, satisfied that trouble
would follow the arrest of the chiefs,
had removed with his family to Port
land, leaving a hired man named Gal
eutine and a boy named Hawks to
look out for the place. An attack was
at once planned by the angry chiefs,
but the friendly Indians notified them
of the plot and they left the place and
came to Hood River, after being chased
all night by the hostiles.' For this act
of friendship to the whites the friendly
Indians were compelled to leave their
homes and with their wives and little
ones also came to Hood River. There
were at that time but two families liv
ing here William Jenkins and wife
and two brothers-in-law, making with
our family and the man Galentine
seven men, two women and two boys,
composing the entire white population
betweeu the Cascades and The Dalles.
Our farm work thus far had been
done very much as the Jews had re
Viuilded Jerusalem, with implements
of war in one hand and their trowels
in the other. Many a day have I
urged on the tardy oxen with a goad
in one hand and rifle in the other.
These were troublous times. The
hostile Klickitats ' made themselves
very ' conspicuous along the bluff on
the Washington shore above White
Salmon. For days the war drums had
bent continuously, filling our hearts
with forebodingsof trouble. . The Hood
River Indians bad been, so far, very
pronounced in their friendship towards
us, and in conjunction with the friend
ly Klickitats, had captured and brought
to the Oregon side every canoe or boat
that could be found that was in reach
of the hostiles. Bo far so good; but the
Polala Illahe (sand laud) Indiansunder
old Chief Wallachin, living on what
was afterwards the Haynes ranch,
about two miles west of Hood River
(or, as then known. Dog river), were
known to have a very decided leaning
towards the hostiles. We at once ap
pealed to .the military authorities at
; The Dalles for protection, and Lieuten
ant Davidson was sent down with a
company of cavalry . How well I re
member them coming! The hostiles
had been unusually active that morn
ing, and the boy Woodburn Hawks
, and myself had been sent out to gather
up the cattle and drive them home.
We did not much like the job, but
could uot help it; but before we found
the cattle we saw the smoke from Jos
lyn's house and barn and hurried home
as fast as our feet.could carry us. We
found the cavalry had arrived, and
their coming was the signal for the
burning. The valorous .lieutenant
marshaled his forces on the sandbar,
and hailing the steamer Wasco on her
way to The Dalles, started for the seat
of war. My two brothers and the two
Bensons had gone with the troops,
also Amos Underwood, who was on his
way to the Cascades, was one of the
party. How the Indians did yell!
The cliffs were alive with them, and
their war whoops echoed and re-echoed
across the river. The valient lieuten
ant, ere he reached the landing, sud
denly remembered that, he had orders
. not to molest the Indians in Washing
ton but merely protect the settlers and
their property at Hood River, and or
dered the Utat to land him again on
the Oregon shore. Discretion in this
case was certainly the better part of
valor, for it undoubtedly saved him
his scalp and that of every member of
his party that was to have landed on
the hostile shore.
That night, by some means a band
of hostiles crossed the river and at
tacked the camp of friendly Klickitats
near where the section house now
stands, and after a sharp exchange of
shots, in which one of the invaders
was seriously wounded, the friendlies
left their camp and came trooping up
to the house. Soon after the hostiles
came across some of the cavalry picket
guard and opened fire on them, which.
sent them scurrying to camp. These
men were posted on the brow of the
hill near where my house now stands,
so that evidently the Indians were re
connoitreing and unexpectedly , ran
across the guards. Everybody was of
course up and under arms, but nothing
else occurred during the night.
.The next day all was quiet across the
river. The Indians had gone; not a
squaw, papoose nor puppy was left.
They had disappeared as completely as
if the earth had swallowed them up.
Even the friendly Klickitats were at a
loss to account for their absence. Ah,
but the Cascade ' massacre was the
dreadful sequel of their vanishing.
. A few days later the cavalry returned
to The Dalles, and the daily routine of
farm work, was resumed, undisturbed,
until the awful horror of the 26th day
of March.. What a bright, beautiful
day it was! The broad bosom of the
Columbia was like mirrored glass. My
two yoke of oxen were yoked to the
wagon, and my brother Charles was
deputized as special guard for the day's
trip to Rail gulch for a load of rails.
Just as we were ready to start a faint
helloa was heard from over the river,
near the mouth of the White Salmon.
Again and again it came. Finally,
two figures were, made out, waving
their blankets. The Indians collected
at the house, hesitating, fearing a trap,
but finally, fully armed, a party start
ed over to investigate. Before their
return we had gone for our day's work.
About 2 o'clock, when on our way
home, my brother Eugene came riding
up on horseback with the news that
the Cascades bad been attacked and
that the battle was then raging, and
told us to hurry home as fast as pos
sible. The appalling news fell like a
thunderbolt from the clear skies. The
battle goiug on, or- possibly over, and
an elder brother there, perhaps dead.
On reaching home we found every
thing in commotion. . The Indians had
gathered in for council and evidently
much excited. The parties who were
signaling across the river in the morn
ing proved to be a buck and his squaw
who had been held as prisoners by
Showouwai, a brother of Kamiaken,
because he had refused to let him have
his rifle, which he had taken a fancy
to They had been seven days coming
from the Simcoe reservation and had
experienced fearful hardships on the
way over from hunger and fatigue;
nearly all the way being through suow,
in some places many feet deep. They
brought news that the hostiles were to
start so as to reach the Cascades the
very day that they had reached the
river. They had strained every nerve
in order to reach us sooner and give
the alarm, but were too late. My
brother Eugene immediately started
for the landing to intercept the little
steamer Mary, that was then com
ing in sight, and communicate the
news to them. The reply sent a thrill
of terror through every heart. They
bad themselves been in the fight and
had, by the greatest chance, barely es
caped with their lives, and some had
been seriously if not mortally wounded
and were then on board. Their advice
was for us to fly for our lives, as in all
probability every soul at the Cascades
would be killed, as the woods were full
of Indians. About sundown a courier
arrived, bringing the news that Brad
ford's store, where all the whites at the
Upper Cascades were congregated, had
been captured, as the Indians could be
seen carrying flour and other things
out of it. ' (This was a mistake, as it
was the Bush house that bad been
abandoned and was afterward looted
by the Indians.) .
A council was at once called, In
diana included. They on their part
promised to station guards all along
the river and send couriers to the Cas
cades, and this promise was faithfully
executed. After they had gone it was
unanimously decided that we should
at all hazards attempt to reach The
Dalles. We had all confidence in the
Klickitats; they had beeu proved, but
were satisfied that the others could not
be trusted. Our only route was by the
river, and the craft was a huge Chi-
tiook canoe that had been hid in the
brush near where the present wagon
bridge crosses Hood River, and. was
owned by an old Indian named Wau-
cusha. , This canoe was an exception
ally fine one, capable of carrying 30 to
40 passengers. lr:; "i
At about midnight the entire white
population jfrf Hood River left their
homes and? i liecl in single file to.
the river, v'i we Diet the canoe and
started on mK ne'lyourney. As we
quietly paddled .. .canoe through the
silent water we hau the Indian guards !
signal! u$ along tliv shore from onq to
f, .
another until far up and down the
river came the answering calls. We
had been discovered, and in less time
than it takes to read it, every camp
had been apprised of our flight. About
noon the next day, when near Klick
itae river, we met both little steamers,
Mary and Wasco, fairly blue with sol
diers and loaded to the guards with
cavalry and munitions of war, on their
way for the relief of ' the Cascades.
They stopped as they came to us, in
quiring for news. We gave them what
we bad heard from the courier of the
night before, and they hurried on.
How their polished rifles and bayonets
gleamed and shimmered in that noon
day sun! and their clanking sabers
made Bweet music to our care-worn
ears. How fierce and brave and good
they looked! Oh! would they be in
time? About three o'clock we reached
The Dalles, where almost the entire
population turned out to meet us, in
quiring for news, and where our jour
ney ended. ;
I cannot close this piece without a
tribute of praise to those true and loyal
Klickitats, who so bravely stood by
the whites in that trying year. Truer
hearted men never lived. Tried by
the test of battle, they proved them
selves men even though their hearts
beat under a dusky skin. They have
nearly all passed over to the happy
hunting grounds and scarcely a rem
nant of their race remains. Among
the most prominent of them was John
son, Queumps, Yallup, Snataps and
Johnnie. There were others that I
cannot call to memory. Among the
Hood River Indians but two or three
remain Old John Slibeuder and
Charley Copiax still live, and both
were unwavering in fealty to the
whites. There is still another, whose
character as a friend to the pale face is
open to serious doubts. His own ad
missiou places him in the fight against
Major Haller on Simcoe mountains.
By the evidence of others, his hand
applied the torch that fired the Joslyn
houses, aud by implication that same
right hand was crimsoned with the
blood of innocents at the Cascade mas
sacre. I refer to Old White Salmon"
Dave, a notorious beggar and a would
be pensioner of Bro. John Cradle
baugh's. ' ;; -
There is also a scrap of unwritten
history concerning the plans of that
wily old chief, Kamiaken. He bad de
cided upou war, and his plan was, first,
to capture the Cascades, then leaving
sufficient force to hold that place, come
up the river and attack The Dalles,
compelling all the Indiaus to join him;
And there is no doubt iu my mind but
that, with few exceptions, all the
tribes would have joined his stapdarJ.
From The Dalles the movement was
to continue eastward until the entire
country east of the Cascades was clear
of whites. . The campaign was well
planned but poorly executed. All that
saved the Cascades, however, was a
very fortunate accident, one of those
happenings that seem to be the direct
work of Providence. A large body of
U. S. troops were on their way to the
eastern portion of the . territory, and
Kamiaken was fully informed as to'
their inteutions. Couriers on fleet
horses waited the movement of the
troops, and on their departure
from The Dalles their horses
were urged to their utmost speed
to Kamlaken's camp, who at once
started his warriors for the Cascades.
But the troops only made a three-mile
march and went into camp to await
the arrival of arms and ammunition
that had beeu detained at the Cascade
portage and were to have been shipped
by the steamer the very day of the at
tack. So that the detention not only
furnished those in Bradford's store
with an abundance of amis and am
munition, but detained, the troops
within easy reach of the boats. : This
information regarding Kamiaken all
came through the Indians that had es
caped from Chief Showaway's clutches.
But my story must close. You who
are now scattered throughout the
length and breadth of this beautiful
valley can but little realize the situa
tion then or the constant fear that for
over a year was in every breast. It
seems to me now more like a dream
than a reality. H. C. Coe.
