"I'm Kid Wolf, from Texas, sah. I have impo'tant news fo' the leader of this outfit." One of the sextet separated himself from the others and came so close to the Texan that their horses almost touched. "I'm in command!" he barked. "My name's Modoc. I'm in charge o' this train, and takin' it to Sante Fe." The man, Modoc, was an impressive individual, bulky and stern.
They even offered the Canadians for trade boots, hats, and clothing taken from the bodies of Custer's men. The Modoc war against the warriors of Captain Jack in 1873 was waged in the lava beds of Oregon, and it had the distinction of being one of the first Indian wars to be well reported in the newspapers.
But when, at four o'clock, I took my ruler in hand to give the usual signal of dismissal, the Phenomenon's heels had already vanished through the window, and the repressed animal spirits of a whole barbaric epoch sounded in the whoop with which the Modoc shot through the door. Finally, I, myself, rode up the lane in the boat.
"What I really started over to see you about," then said Bob to Welton, "is this matter of the Modoc Company." He went on to explain fully Amy's plan for checkmating Baker. "You see, if I get in my word first, Baker is as much implicated as you are, and it won't do him any good to turn state's evidence." "I don't see as that helps me," remarked Welton gloomily.
The Oregon War followed, and occasional affairs like that at Ben Wright's Cave, leaving a heritage of hate from which such fruits as the recent Modoc War are not inaptly gathered. In 1855-6 occurred the great movement, mainly under a political impulse, which carried population beyond the Missouri.
The Modoc war in Oregon and Idaho, in which the Shoshones and Bannocks were involved, was really a part of this same movement namely, the last defence of their hunting-grounds by the Plains Indians, as was also the resistance of the Cheyennes and Comanches farther south, and of the Utes in 1877, simultaneously with the last stand of the Sioux.
You will pardon me, I am sure" here he became singularly persuasive "but I have ventured to nail that pigtail fast, and have assumed the somewhat onerous obligation of guarding it. So it is quite impossible to act on your considerate suggestion. "Do you play me for a Modoc?" Nothing could exceed the sudden ferocity with which he thrust this indignant remonstrance into the ear of his guest.
Those of the female are flattened throughout their entire length, are less curved than those of the male, and much smaller, measuring less than a foot along the curve. A ram and ewe that I obtained near the Modoc lava-beds, to the northeast of Mount Shasta, measured as follows: Ram. Ewe. ft. in. ft. in.
I am especially interested, because I've catalogued and read everything covering those times. You " she indicated Billy, "you are historical, or at least your father is. I remember about him. The whole thing is in Bancroft's History. It was the Modoc Indians. There were eighteen wagons. Your father was the only survivor, a mere baby at the time, with no knowledge of what happened.
You get a quart bottle a red quart bottle, for a white one won't do, and fill it with cold spring water, tapped when the moon is full." "Is that all?" "Oh, no, no! Then you take the spring water and boil it over a charcoal fire, same as the Modoc Indians used to do. You remember all about that, don't you?" "I I 'pears to me I ought to," stammered the old station master.
