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

me woman was a nagrant ant defiant

that we could, not prevent ft. Tjhis ne

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

"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

forming my line on the road beyond

we moved forward. When the hostile

"As la usual with Indians when ex

brandishing their muskets in the air,
dancing on one foot, calling us ugly
names, and making such other demon

(by contemptuous laughter, so
I went

"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

"On. this information I conclaled It
would be best to march to the village
by a circuitous route, instead of direct

ferry-boat belonging to the post float

Yamhill river- and there, anchored. At
11 o'clock that night I marched my

a parley.' ; ' .-

wanted to see me, and we met between
