IfllTIC LIFE OF CHIEFTAIN'S GTR Word has been received here ot the death at Yalnax early this week ot Mrs. Toby Riddle, or Wl-ne-ma as she was called in the tongue of her people, the Modocs. A decendant-of a long line of Indian chloftans and cousin of Captain Jack, the leader ot tho Modoc rebellion In tho 70's sho remained loyal to the whites and did much faithful service as an Interpreter. Of late years, In recognition of her fidelity and courage during the Modoc war, sho has drawn a monthly renBlon from the government.

Her husband, T. F. Riddle, a -white man, died a number ot years 030. She is survived by a son, Jefferson C. Riddle, of Yalnax, author of "The Indian History of tho Modoc War," with whom she made her home.

It was against the council ot Wine-ma nnd her husband that General E. R. S. Canby and tho United States peace commissioners attempted the ill-starred conference with Captain Jack in his camp south of Tule Lake on April 11, 1873, -which ended in the slaying of General Canby and the Rev. Dr.

Eleazar Thomas and the wounding of A. B. Meacham, through the treachery of Captain Jack. Tho history of Central Oregon says of WInema: "During the progress of the war, Wi-ne-ma was selected as the official Interpreter by the government. She was ono ot the brightest ot tb.6 Indian tribe, the daughter of an Indian chief.

Her early lite had been passed on the lakes of the Klamath country and along their shores. "She used to gather with the great peace parties on Link River, at the foot of the falls, now'the site ot Klamath Fals. v-TJylier'beuty- Jn- thoso early days, and extraordinary intelligence, Wi-ne-ma won the heart and hand of her white husband. They were legally married and when tho war broke out Wl-ne-ma enlisted in the cause of the white people, as a peacemaker, however, between the races." ICE CO.
