The stolen property was hidden under the old hospital building and was discovered by some boys and nearly all was restored to the church. On New Year's Day, 1869, Colcheka, a noted chief of the Chilkats who was visiting Sitka, was entertained by General Davis at the castle on the hill. The liquid refreshments served to him by the General raised his spirits and his pride of race.
The guard was turned out for his arrest and a skirmish ensued in which the guard was worsted and retreated to the barracks. The Sitkas were neutral. The Chilkats were too few in number to fight the troops, so next day Colcheka surrendered, was kept in the guardhouse for a few days and then released.
For some reason he crossed the part reserved for officers, was challenged by the sentry, and, not heeding, when he reached the stockade gate was kicked by the sentry stationed there. He was furious. "Me, Colcheka, Chief of the Chilkats, kicked!" He turned in a rage, seized the musket of the sentry, wrenched it from his hands, then carried it to his house in the Ranche.
