ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD , Yesterday, our column was fol lowing the wild events of the first outbreak of the Modoc War, and our group of citizens sent out from Linkville to warn the -settlers of the outbreak of Indian warfare had reached the Clear Lake Ranch the third evening after the outbreak of hostilities on Lost River, where were congregated at the Clear Lake R a n c h, the families of Jesse Appiegate. Appiegate wito characteristic energy immediately formulated plans for the construc tion of a stockade the next morn ing, December 3, 1873. Stearns writes: "The next morn ing we left two of our party to as sist Mr. Appiegate in the conslruc- . turn of the stockade and accom panied by Henry Appiegate and Charles Putnam, "Uncle" Jesse's ' grandson, we pursued our way to wards Tule Lake, following the old emigrant trail most of the way. When we came over the ridge overlooking Tule Lake about three fourths of s mile from the Brother ton ranch, we saw two women and ft boy and a girl In front of the bouse who seemed to be regarding aur advance apprehensively, aa we eould distinguish a gun In the band of one of the women. As we came Dear, the woman handed the gun to one of the children and came toward us wringing her hands and crying. Between ner spells of sob- Ding we gleaned- the story of the killing of her family as far as she knew it. "'According to her story, the In elians did not do their murderous Work in that locality until the tnornlng of the day after the killing of the Boddy family. Being, doubt less afraid of pursuit, they had passed the interim in some se cluded place overlooking the val ley, while, seeing no attempt was Bade by the troops to follow them up, and that the settlers were naware of any trouble, they came out of their hiding place and fell on the Brothertons and Henry Mil ler who lived a few rods away from the Brothertons across the state line. Some of the men were In the Junipers cutting wood. They were the first killed. Next Miller and a ten year old son of Mr. Brotherton, who were driving the teams haul ing wood. "Having killed all this party, they rode rapidly down where a Oerman sheep herder, named Beever or Soover and another of the Brotherton boys were herding a band of sheep a little more than a quarter of a mile from the cabins and In plain view. Mr. Seever was mounted while the boy was on foot. Seeing the Indians rushing towards him with painted faces and bran dishing arms. Mr .Seever put spurs to his horse and attempted to get way, circling first one way then another as the Indians headed him off, firing at him all the while until finally he fell from his horse. "The boy being some distant nearer the houses escaped the In dian's vigilance in their eager. ness to kill Seever. made a straight run tor home, and had covered nail the distance before the Indians noted his flight, they turned in pur suit of him. The mother having witnessed the attack on Seever, had rushed into the cabin, secured a Winchester rifle and revolver, and was running to meet her son. She turned her rifle loose on the advancing savages checking them so her son reached her side. when. handing him the revolver, they both began firing, when the cow ardly Indians rode out of range to consult. 'The mother and son Immedi ately returned to the cabin, and fastening the door, began prepar ations to repel any attack the In dians might make. The cabin be ing known as a "box house" of inch lumber and unlined, would offer but little protection from rifle bullets, so the -brave woman, assisted by Mrs. Swan, a - squaw, took their flour, of which there were some twenty odd sacks, and piling them around on the floor against tne boards soon had a breastworks that would stop the bullets. She then bored a number of auger boles through the boards just above the flour sacks and lying down be behind the flour sacks and firing through the portholes, she and her son, a lad of twelve, were able to repel the attacks that followed. "Getting to the leeward of the Miller house, which was but a short distance away, the Indians approached within easy rifle shot and poured several volleys through the Brotherton bouse, but as the occupants were prone behind their breastworks no one was Injured. Alone, twice an Indian came around at the side of the Miller house and attempted to break open the door, when a well-directed shot from the other house brought him down and be hastily crawled behind the house again. "At last, greatly to the relief of the besieged, the Indians mounted their pomes and rode away to the south. , "This was a day previous to our appearance, and though momen tarily expecting a renewal of the attack, none came, and after an all night vigil, seeing us anoroach. tng, Mrs. Brotherton thought we were a band of Indians returning 10 renew tne attack." The heroic defense by Mrs. Brotherton for some reason has escaped the attention of writers, recounting the story of the Modoc War and it is due to Stearns, who naa an intense interest in local history, that It Is preserved for CAUGHT IN THE ROUNDS By DEB ADDISON RETAIL MEMO: At long last, good business news is overshadowing the bad, says Sales Management. Some exam ples: 11 Dr. L. J. Paradlso. chief sta tistician of the Department of Commerce reports total consumer spending In the first quarter of '54 Increased by 13 3 billion at the annual rate; it roughly equalled that of 1954 s last quarter. 1 D. Keezer, head of the eco nomics department of the McGraw- Hill Publishing Co. said a survey In March showed industry expen ditures for new plants and equip ment would set a new high this year. . 31 A survey by the Wall Street Journal indicates that 79 per cent of business economists venturing ODlnions think the downtrend is leveling off: 25 per cent see no sign of ft, and 5 per cent believe the economy has already taken a turn for the better. Never did the Klamath Basin's farm Income take such a drastic drop from one year to the next as it did from "53 to '53. BUT Never have there been more acres of fertile soil so beautifully leveled and worked and planted as now; never has there been bet ter know-how or better equipment on Klamath Basin farms to grow a new crop. SO A good 1954 crop and a reason able market would put the Basin back in Prosperity with that capi tal "P". Home remodeling and fix-up re sults in at least S7.5 billion being spent for every 10 billion spent for new houses, it is estimated by W. Hoadley, economist for Arm strong Cork Co. In Building Supply News. During 1954. surveys show that one home owner in five plans a major expenditure to improve housing. Hoadley said there are thiee things needed to tap Jthls huge market: ' 1) Longer term financing. 3) Better coordination of trades and service required. 3) "Home Fix-Up Centers" oper ated by local dealers where the public can get all the help needed for their repair-remodeling pro jects. George P. Davis, president of the County Chamber of Commerce and field advisor for the Small 1 World War II. Business Administration, put him self out on the limb with Uio flat prediction that there will be 1800 more new homes needed in Klam ath Falls within the next 34 months.

The 1954 summer volume poten tial is summarized In a new four page folder now available at the H&N from the Bureau of Adver tising, showing stores how to look for, find and get more summer business. Indicating that 94 per cent, of families are at home in the aver age summer week and that the June - August period accounted for 33.3 per cent ol last year s total retail dollar volume, the folder points to vacations, the do-it-yourself trend and new ways of living as added sources of summer vol ume.

The second point is perhaps even more Important. The symptoms which a person has often can deve lop from any one cf several dlf. Itrent underlying conditions. For example, a nosebleed can come from, being hit on the nose, from an ulcer in the nose, from htzh blood pressure or from severrl other things, some of which are Important and some not. The same thing applies to other symptoms, such as headache, loss of weight, digestive upsets and al most anything else you can name.

This Is by no means a safe con clusion, and I hope that In the future readers will realize that symptoms must be studied in the light of physical findings and labo ratory tests, all interpreted on In; basis of years of medical study.
