OREGON IN EARLY TIMES,
AN INCIDENT AT WALLA WALLA.
It may be proper to state, says the Portland Advertiser, that the substance of this
sketch was published in a journal of limited
circulation, some thirteen years ago, when
there were fewer people in Oregon than
now. The author of it, one of the editors
of this paper, bopes ite republication now,
may 00¢ be without interest to the general
reader,
Fort Walla Walla which was destroyed
by the Indiansin the war of 1855, was
among the earliest posts established west of
the Rocky Mouatains by the Northwest
Company, and with the union of the two
companies it of course passed into the control of the Hudson’s Bay Company. A.
McKinley, Esq., then of the H. B. Company
now a citizen of Yamhill county, and much
esteemed by all who know him, was in
charge of Fort Walla Wallafor several
years, and it is our present purpose to
speak of an exciting occurrence that took
place there during the period of his administration of its affairs, The Indians around
this post, the Nez Perces, Cayuse, and Walla Wallas, were of abrave and warlike
character, this latter feature has been considerably softened however by their contact
with civilization, Still they are distinguished for their courage, and the Nez Perces for some traits nobler than this, Mr.
Pamburn, the predecessor of Mr. McKinley,
had experienced some harsh treatment from
the Indians, having on one occasion been
overpowered aud bound by them in an endeavor to oblige him to give a higher price
for their peliries, ia which however they
failed, as Mr. Pambruo’s mental power
proved decidedly superior to his physical
strength.
It was in the summer of 1843, we believe
that a young chief, the son of the principal
chief of the Walla Wallas, one day entered
the Fort, and appropriated to himself some
articles of little value—a piece of wood, if
we mistake not, from a lot of which, lying
thereia the Iodians had been in the habit of
taking pieces whenever they chose for the
purpose of making whip handles. The practice had been positively forbidden, as the
wood was of a particular kind and of service to the company. It was ia an expostulation with the young chief, that a young
Mr. T——, a clerk in the company’s employ, received a signal affront which occasioued a rencounter, and the chastisement
of the Indian, At this time, there were
. perbaps half a dozen whites at the Fort, and
although the buildings were enclosed by
. “stockades,”” yet there were no means of
effectually securing the entrances, the stock, ade was of a recent construction, and the
. gates had not been made, nor were they un. tila year after, Consequently it was, comparatively speaking, a defencelesg position.
Thus it was when on the next day, the Indians, some of each tribe, crowded into the
establishment to revenge themselves io the
. death of Mr. T——. Talking could achieve
. nothing, every consistent means was resort_ed to in vain to appease the turbulent multitude. The men belonging to the Fort
were at work in the field, even could their
presence have effected any good in the is. sue. The Indians were brandishing their
weapons and seemed to be fully aware of
their superiority, and disposed to exercise it
Inasummary mauner, Already had Mr.
McKinley suffered indignities, and young
T-—— was defending bimself as well’ as he
, was able, with his back against the wall,
when by one of those brilliant and lucky
. thoughts, generally occasioned by great
emergencies, the whole appearance of things
was changed, and the object of the savages
defeated. It was at this juncture, that Mr.
McKinley suddenly started from the crowd
that surrounded him, {into the adioining
room, the store room, seized upon a keg of
powder, a steel and flint, returning, instantly placed the keg in the centre of the room
; and koocked in its head—it was all the
. work of @ moment, There he stood over
the opened keg of powder, with a flint and
stecl in either band, and adense mass of
Indians around him,
“Now,” said he, “kill him, if you will.”
pointing to T——, “but that moment I kill
you all! Twoofus can die where there
are many braves to die with us,”
_ The proposed slaughter was on too extensive & scale for the Indians, a panic seiged
them they turned in dismay and rushed precipitately from the house. Thus, by presence of miod and cool determination was
the effusion of blood prevented, and the authority of Mr. McKinley as ehief of the post
greatly augmented. It is needless to state
that differences were soon adjusted to the
satisfaction of all concerned,
