15. Ibid. Crook likened these whites to the ones who had "commenced the Rogue River War by going to a settler's garden after night in their bare feet, destroying the vegetables, [and] firing his home. And then the next day, one of this same party, who was an officer in a Volunteer Company, helped massacre a Rancheria of innocent Indians for the alleged depredations." Another nasty incident in that war was participated in by two of the men of this company, "who slept with two Indian women and the next a.m. beat their brains out." He had evidence that these same men were behind the clash at Wau-Kell on November 17.
