H&AJD OF CmgF' c well hls people would Inevitably lose. Unfortunately some of his young warriors refused to abide by hls decision. On June 13, 1877, they murdered several settlers. There Is one story of the return of the war party to the Nez Perce camp where the young warriors threw down sev- s, V y red. From time Isimemorln! the Nez Torres had dwelt In the vast region In Idaho, Oregon and Washington, Including the valleys of the Snake, Salmon, Clearwater and Grande Itonde rivers. In 1855 Gov. Isaac I. Stevens of Washington territory made a treaty with the Nez lerees confirming their title to their unrest rat home, twit In 10.1 by a new treaty with the tribes of the Northwest the hinds of the Nez Perces wore greatly reduced. Old Joseph of the Nez I'erees declined to sign the treaty, even though other chiefs did, refused to live on the proposed reservation and continued to occupy the fertile territory, especially the beautiful Wallowa vullejr, which his people loved most of all. Old Joseph died In 1872. bequeathing to hls son Young Joseph, whose Indian name, Yuhlatklt," has the Impressive meaning of Thunder Rolling In the Mountains," hls love for the Wallowa valley and Ills opposition to giving It up to the encroaching whites. For the next four yenrs there was constant friction between Uie whites and the Indians and In nearly every rase the whiten were the aggressors. Finally In 17(1 a commission decided. In defiance of all right, that the Nez Perces must go on the reservation them and Gen. O. O. Howard, commnndcf of the military department of the Columbia, was ordered to Cnrry out the decision. After several councils with the Indiana, Chief Joicpli agreed to obey the order of the commission e and go on the reservation, lie did this only he felt that It would ho better to auhmlt to tiijudlce thnii to provoke a war In which bo knew Hln-mnto- n , eral white scalps and announced dramatically to their people Now you will have to go to war! Chief Joseph was absent from camp at the time, collecting some of Ills scattered tribesmen in preparation for removal to the reservation. When he returned he found that the die was cast and that he was committed to war. Even then he was resolved to make It a defensive war and not un offensive one end he conceived the bold plan of fleeing with hls people to Canada, fighting only If the white men hnrred hls path to freedom. Then began one ef the most retnnrkahle retreats In history. One historian of the Nez Perce war has written : "Xenophon hns chronicled the retreat of the ten thousand ; De (Juineey has romanced about the migration of the Tartars; a thousand pens have recorded the annihilation of the Grand Army of Napoleon: the story of Josoph and hls Nez Perces Is my theme the story of the bitterest Injustice toward a weak but Independent people to which the United States ever set Its hand and of a military exploit of the first magnitude, which Justly entitles this greut Indian to take rank among the great Captains." Undaunted by the almost Insuperable difficulties of hls problem thut of transporting a whole tribe, men, women and children, over a thousand miles or more of the roughest country on the North American continent and breaking through the lines of military barrier which were certain to be thrown out to Intercept hint, Chief Joseph set out General Ilowurd ucted promptly upon hearing of the murders of the settlers. lie began concentrating all available troops at strutegle points. The first engagement took plnee on June 17 la White Illrd canon where Captain Terry and a snuill body of troops rode Into a trap which Joseph hud prepared for him and were disastrousIn this ImtUo the Indian chief In ly defeated. the handling of hls men first showed those qnsll-tle- s of mllltnry lomloMdp which was a promise of the stern task before the soldiers before they could hope to obey the order from Washington After Terrys defeat General Ilowurd took the field himself und the great chase was on. Ilowurd himself has paid high tribute to the military genius of hls opponent and In the weeks that f.d lowed Chief Joseph amply proved that he was worthy of nil praise. For the Indlnn Napoleon proved that he understood the Utile Corporal's tactics of defeating the enemy In doinll and did It. General Howard and Colonel Sturgis both teamed that to their sorrow. Even General Miles, w to finally brought him to bay, might have learned It had conditions boon different. For here briefly Is the achievement of Chief Joseph during that remarkable retreat: Encumbered with women am children, which he to desert and allow to fall Into the hands of the aold'rra as he might have done several times to facilitate hls flight, and having n fighting force thnt never exceed d 300 warriors, he fought eleven engagements, five of them pitched halites of which he lost but one; In the other six skirmishes he killed and wounded MO of the 2, (too soldiers who fought him, but he lost 151 killed and 88 wounded of hi own people. Then having distanced hls pursuers and knowing that he was only no milos from the Canadian line and safety (for he did not know of the approach of Geiicrnl Miles' Hoops) he made the fatal mistake of stopping for a little while to give tils' weary tribesmen u chance for a brief rest.

He Is Chief U! Joseph of the Nez Perces, and linked with his name In the proposed memorial Ji will be that of one of our most euc-restful Indian fighters, the late Gen. Nelson A. Miles. For yenrs the residents of Chinook, Mont., and Itluine county have sought to have set aside as a national memorial the site of the battlefield In the Ilear Paw mountains where General Miles and Chief Joseph fought a five-daengagement and where Just 49 years ago this month took plnce one of the most dramatic surrender scenes In all American history. Now It seems likely that the ambition of these Montanans to honor these two great warriors will be realized, and It Is believed that the new national monument will be erected by presidential proclamation within the next year. If this Is done a shaft probably will be erected on the site of the surrender and the dedication will take place a year hence, on the fiftieth anniversary of the event. Not only Is the name of Chief Joseph to be emblazoned on this shaft but further honor Is being paid him by one of America's foremost sculptors. Cyrus Tallin, already noted for his Indian sculptures, has begun work on a memorial wherein, according to press dispatches, he hopes to Immortalize In bronze the bravery, patience, loyalty and sorrow of the American Indian." That being his ambition It was Inevitable that be should choose Chief Jnsonh for his subject, for there never has been an Inman of whom bravery, patience, lojalty and sorrow were more characteristic and the story of hint and of his people, the Nez Perces, Is a pathetic page In American history. It Is a story, too, which reflects little credit upon the American people, one of those sordid stories of greed and oppression of a weaker race which hns so often marked the relations of white men and of SaUcllcaelA A new Intoxicant bus appeared la It was the custom of the Romans, 2,000 years ago, to breuk the wedding Jupnn.

Finally artillery was brought to bear upon their defense and on October 4 Chief Joseph gave up the contest. In the meantime General Howard who had pursued the fleeing Indians across three states arrived at the battleground. One of hls (Howard's) Col. C. E. S. Wood, lias described the dramatic scene of Josephs surrender ns follows: "It was nearly sunset when Joseph rai'ne to deliver himself up. He rode from his camp In the little hollow. Hls hands were clasped over the pommel of hls saddle and hls rifle lay across lil.i knees; hls head was bowed down. Pressing around him walked five of hls warriors; their faces were upturned end earnest ns they murmured to 1 Im but he looked neither to the right nor to the left jet seemed to listen Intently. So the little group dime slowly up the hill to where General Howard and General Miles waited to with an aideale-cnmreceive the surrender. As he neared them, Joseph sat erect In the saddle, then gracefully and with dignity swung himself down from hls horse, and with an Impulsive gesture threw hls arm to its full length and offered hls rifle to General Howard. The latter motioned him toward General Miles, who received the token of submission. At this surrender scene, too, Chief Joseph made the speech which deserves a place with Chief Logun's famous oration. These were hls words: "I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass Is dead. (the medicine man or dreamer" who had urged war upon Joseph) Is dead. The old men are all dead. It Is the young men now who say "yes" and "no" (vote In the council). He who led the young men (Olllcut, Josephs brother) Is dead. It Is cold nnd we hove no blankets. The little children are freezsome of them have ing to death. My peopl run away to the hills and have no blankets, no' No one knows where they are perhaps food. freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and to see how many of them I enn find; maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me. my chiefs, my heart Is sick nnd slid. From where the snn now stands I fight no more against the white man." As he spoke II, use last words, the old chlel rabed hls hand to the sky nnd with this simple gesture the career of the Indian Napoleon ended. For he kept hls promise; he never fought again After the surrender. General Miles promised Joseph that he nnd Ids people should be returned to Idaho. As for the way In which the United States kept thnt promise It repudiated It entirely! The captives were sent to Fort Leavenworth and kept there during tho winter. The not summer they were put on n reservation In Indian Territory. It was nn unhealthy place for and for these Indians, accustomed to the I Igli altitude of their mountain home, the hot malarious climate of the low land whs deadly. They died by the score. Chief Joseph protested nnd protested In vain, but the federal authorities turned a deaf ear to hls pleas to be allowed to return to hls old home before hls people were exterminated. To the everlasting credit of the soldier who Imd conquered him, It must ho snld that General Mile used Ills powerful Influence to make the the Nez government keep faith. Finally In Torres were allowed to return to the Northwest, hut not to the spot they loved most the Wallowa valley. They were sent to th Colville reservation In Washington and there they lived for the next 20 year with Chief Joseph taking the lend in guiding hls people In the white limit's road.
