A, SALE1X. OnECOX. TUESDAY, MARCH, IS, 1302. -5 almost a E5 A T T IL BE Interesting Event in Connection with the Career of General Sheridan when He Was a Second Lieutenant at Old ort Yamhill. Some members of the t Statesman' big family have read the "Personal Memoir of P.' H. Sheridan.' but tot ' such as hav not the following incident of his soldier life while he was a. Sec ond , Lieutenant at old. Fort Ham hill will prove4 Intensely inter esting, and no : doubt : those who have seen it before, ' or heard : it. Will be glad to re-read It. The date; of the Incident wa the "early pari of 1&37, probably May or June or July of that - year: " ( ,1'.. . r -j . V " "CaptalnRussetfi assigned to mo the epceiaj work of keeping up the police control, and as 1 had learned at an" early day to speak Chlnoole (the "court language" among- the coast tribes) al i moat as well as the Indians themselves, I ' waj thereby enabled to steer my way successfully on many critical Oc-' cations. "For someltlme the moat troublesome element we had was the Rogue River band. . For fhree. or four years they had fousrht our troop obstinately, and surrendered in the end in , the . belief that they were merely overpowered, not conquered. They openly boasted to the . Other, ; Indians that,-: they- could whip the soldiers, and thatthey did notwlsh to follow, the white man's ways," continuing ' consistently : their wild habits, unmindful of all admoni tions. Indeed, they often destroyed their household utensils, tepees and Hothing:. and killed - their hors on the graves of the dead; In the fulflll xrtenjt of a superstitious custom, which demanded that they should undergo, while mourning for their kindred, the deepest privation fna property sense. Everything- the loss; of which would make thenrpoor waja sacrificed) on the -gravfes of their relatfves or distinguish ed warriors, and as melancholy be cause of removal from their old homes caused frequent deaths, there was no lack of occasion for the sacrifices The widows and orphans of the dead wart : riors were of course the chief mourners arfl exhibited their grief in many pe4 cuiiar ttayi. I remember one In par Hifular which wajr"uriiverally practic ed by the near kinsfolk. They would crop tht ir' hair very close, and then1 rover the head -with a sort of hoodt or piaster f black plt'h, the composition being clay, pulverised charcoal', and -th resinous gum which exudes from the pirn trf-e. The hoixl, nearly.an inch i in th'n-ltnKS, was worn during ia' pe riod of mourning that laated through the tim; it would t alt nature, by the growth, of the hair, actually to lift from the head the heavy covering "oX pitch aft-r It had become-solidlfled' arid : hard ns ston. ' It mut he admitted J that they underwent consUleranie ui ' com fort in rnnfory of theftf rciattves. It took all the influence-wev could brinj; to bear. t treak up these absurdly su perstitious' practices, and it, looked as Jf hot permanent bnprojfernent could i be effected, for as soon as we got them to discard one. another would be in vented. When "not allowed - to burn down their tpes or houses, thme poor souls who were' in a -dying condition . would be carrK-d out to the neighbor ing Lillisidcs Just before dissolution, and there 'abandoned to their suffer lngs, with little or no' attention, unless the placing under- their heads of" a small, stT'ck of wood with possibly some laudable object, but doubtless great discomfort to their victim might be considered such. "To uproot these senseless and, mon strous practices was indeed most dif ficult. The nuwt pernicious of all was 'one wlii h -wias . likely to bring about tragle results.- They believed firmly in . a claim of doctors among tbefr people "who professed .-that they could pro--cure the IllnesA'of an. individual at will, and that by certain incantations Qvey could kill or' cure x the sick person. Their faith In this superstition was. so xuadfast that there was no doubting its sincerity, many indulging at timfs in the most trying privations, that their relatives might- be saved "from death at the hands of the doctors. I often talked with them on the subject, and tried to reason them out of their suterstitlpua belief, defying the doctors to kill mv or even make me ill; but my talks were unavailing, and they always met my arguments with the remark that I was a white man, of a race wholly different from the red man and that that was the reason the mediclheiOf the doctors would not af fect me. These r villainous doctors might be either men or women, and any one of them finding an Indian -ill. atonce averred that his. Influence was the cause, offering at the same time ..to cure the Invalid with a fee. which generally amounted- to about all the ponies his family i possessed. If the proposition was accepted and the fee paid over, the family,, in case the man died, was to have indemnity through the death of the doctor,1 who freely promised that they might take his life in such event, relying on his chances of getting protection from the furious relatives by fleeing to the military post till time had r assuaged their grief that matters could be compromised or settled by a - restoration of a. part of the property. -when the rascally leeches could again resume their practice; Of course the services of a doctor were al ways accepted when an Indian . , fell ill: otherwise tha Invalid's death would surely ensue, brought about by the evil lnltuenee that was unpropItlatedV Lat terly It had become quite the thing, when a. patient dled-for the doctor to ilee to our campit was so eonvenient and so much safer than else.-here-and my cellar, was a favorite; place of ref uge from the infuriated friends of th deceased. ' ! . ' ' i ' .' ''. 'Amonjp the most t notable of these doctors was an Indian named 8am Patch. who several limes sought asylum in my cellar, and being a most pro found diplomat, managed oneaeh ocea Rion and with little delay, td negotiate a neaceable settlement and go" foriii in safety to resume the practice 'of his nefarious profession. I often hoped na would be caught before reaching the post, but he seemed to know intuitive ly when- the time had coma to take leg bail, for his advent af the garrison generally preceded by butia fw hours the death of some poor uupe; j ' : "Finally these f pfcullarf customs brought about the punishment of a - noted "doctor f the Rkgue River tribe, a woman who was constantly working In this professional way, and woo nau found a victim "cf ' such prominence looked for death brought down oni her the wrath of all." She had made: him1 so III, they believed, as to bring him to death's door notwithstanding the many ponies that had . been "given' her to cease the incantations, and it, was the conviction of all that she had Anally caused the roan's death from some ul terior and Indiscernible f motive. His relatives and friends then immediately sit about, requiting her With the Just penalties of a perfidious breach of contract. Then- threats produced her instant flight toward my house for; the usual protection, but ; the enraged friends of jlha dead man gave hot Uiae. and overtook the witch Just In side the limits of the garrison, where, W the parade-ground, in sight- of the oHlcers' quarters, and before any ' one coVld Interfere, they "killed her. There were sixteen" men in pursuit of 1 the doctress, and sixteen gun-shot wounds were in her bodyi when' examined, by the suVgfron of the pos The killing of me woman was a nagrant ant defiant military authority, .yet done so quickly that we could, not prevent ft. Tjhis ne cessitated' Vevere measures, both i tio allay the prevailing excitement ami to preclude the recurrence of such acts. The body , was cared for, and delivered to the relatives the next day for hu rial, after which- Captain . Russell directed me to takesuch steps as would put a stop to the fanatical usages that : had brought about this - murderous -occurrence, for it was now seen that if timely measures wej-e not taken to repress them, similar tragedies would surely follow. v , J." ' ; - " : . : r : : "Knowing all the men of the Rogue Rivertribe, and speaking fluently tha Chinook tongue, which they .all under stood, I went down to their village the following day, after having sent word to the Itrlbe that I ' wished to; havie a council withrthem. The In'dian-sl all hxet me: In council, as I had! desired, and I then told them that the men who had taken part in shooting! the woman would have to be delivered up for" punishment. They were, very stiff with me at the ..Interview, and with all that talent for circumlocution and" diplomacy with which the Indian is gifted,' endeavoring;; to evade j my demands and delay my conclusion.! But I was very positive, wfculd heaf of no compromise jwhatever, and demanded that my terms be at once cdmplled with. No one was with me but a ser geant of my company, named Miller, who held my horse, and as the chancei of an agreement bean to grtow re mote, I became anxious for our afety. The conversation waxing hot and the Indians gathering close in n round me, I unbuttoned the flap 6f n'y pistol bol ster, to be 'ready for j an emergency. When the altercation; becamei , most bitter I put my hand to my Jhip to draw my pistol, but discovered It; was gone stolen by one of the rascals sur rounding' me. Finding jmyself unjarmed, I modified, my tone and manner to co: resoond with my. bW!less. condition. thus myself asumlnj the dlpjomatie side In the parley, in, .order time.

I at once' put $ara under guard, giving orders to kill him in stantly if the Indians fired a shot; then forming my line on the road beyond the1 edge of the village, in rear of the force lying" In wait for a. JTront attack, we moved forward. When the hostile party realized that they,were complete ly cut off from the village, they came out from their stronghold' on the river -nd took up a, line in my front, dis tant about sixty. yards, with the appar ent intention of resisting to the last. s, "As la usual with Indians when ex pecting' a fight, they were nearly naked, fantastically painted with blue clay, and hideously arrayed In. war bonnets. They seemd very belligerent, brandishing their muskets in the air, dancing on one foot, calling us ugly names, and making such other demon strations of hostility, that It seemed at first that nothing short of ' the total destruction, of the party could bring outrage committed in the teeth of the labout the definite settlement that we inilltarv authortrv vt-t iinna mi nl,l) n ' . . , r :- maging iiana, I moved out to where the sergeant, held my horse, mounted, and; crosiig j the Yamhill river close by, filled back in Chinook from the farther bank, that "th- sixteen men who killed: man.mustHbe delivered UP, and tihe wb- my six- shooter also." This was responded to (by contemptuous laughter, so I went back to the military;, post otiewhat crestfallen, and, made imj report of the turn affairs had taktn. inwardly long-v ing, for another chance to brjinK tha rascally Rogue Rivers to terms! "When 1 had explained the situation to Captain Russell, ho thought that we could not. under ahy circumfiances. overlook this defiant; conduct rf the In dians. jdnce, unless summiirlly punish ed. ft would lead to even morel .ferious trouble irt he' futuiy.'

I would chas tise the Rogue Rivers without! fail, andf ; that the next day was all the. time I irequlred to Complete arrangements, lie gave roe the necessary authority, sand I at once set to work to. bring about a better stat of discilpllne i -on the reservation, arid to put 4n end to ihe practices of the meditjlne men (having also in view the recovery" of my six-shooter and self-reepect), I by marching to the vllage and taking the rebellious Indians by force, j v ;j -t "In the tribe' there was an excellent woman, called TIghee Mary (Tighee in Chinook means chief), who by right of Inheritance was a kind of queen of the Rogfue Rivers. Fearing that the In subordinate conduct of the , Indians would precipitate further trouble, she came- early the following morning to see me and itell me of the situatlonJ Mary informed me "that she had done all In her power to bring the Indians to reason, but without avail, (and that they -were determined to fight rather than deliver up the sixteen, men who had engaged in the shooting! I She' also apprised me of the fact that they had taken up a position on the Yamhill river, on the direct road between the post and village, .where, painted, and armed for war, they were awaiting ati tack.'" .':-; - I '-; i ,1 i "On. this information I conclaled It would be best to march to the village by a circuitous route, instead of direct ly, as at first intended, nor I had the ferry-boat belonging to the post float ed about a mile and; a half down" the Yamhill river- and there, anchored. At 11 o'clock that night I marched my fifty men; ouf of the garrison, InV a direction opposite to -that of the point hcKI by the Indiana, and soon reacnea the; river at the ferry-boat, i Here 1 berried the party over with little delay, and marched them along1 the aide of the mountain, through underbrush and fallen timber, until.

Still, as It was my de sire to bring them under subjection without loss or life, if possible; I de termined to see what result would fol low when they learned that their chief 'under guard to .the front, where ' he eould be seen,, informed them that be would be immediately shot if they fired upon us, and aided by cries and Iamentationj of the women of the village, who deprecated any hostile action by either party, I soon procured a parley.' ; ' .- "The insubordinate Indians-were un der command of Joe, Sam's brother, who at last sent me word that he wanted to see me, and we met between our respective lines. I talked kindly to him, but was firm In my demand that themen who killed the woman mu3t be glven up and the six-shooter re turned. Ills reply was he did not think it could be done, but ihe w ould consult his people. 1 After the consultation, he returned antl notlfiedV me that fifteen would surrender and the six-shooter would be .restored, further, that we could jkill the sixteenth. man, since the tribe wished to get rid of him anyhow, addlnc that he was a bad Indian, whose bullet no doubl had given the woman her death wound. He said that If I a 'sentedt to this arrangement, hs would requiro all of h s people' except theobljectionuble man to.run.to' the right pf his 1 ne at a' r reconcsa;ted spi nal.
