the chief part. The campaign was tlien 

 pushed with vigor, the Modoc were finally 

 dispersed and captured, and Kintpuash 

 and 5 other leaders were hanged at Ft 

 Klamath in Oct., 1873. The tribe was 

 then divided, a part being sent to Indian 

 Ter. and placed on the(iuapaw res., where 

 they had diminished to 56 by 1905. The 

 remainder are on Klamath res., where 

 they are apparently thriving, and num- 

 bered 223 in 1905.

Moenkapi ('place of the running 

 water'). A small settlement about 40 

 m. N. w. of Oraibi, N. e. Ariz., occupied 

 during the farming season by the Hopi. 

 The present village, which consists of two 

 irregular rows of one-story houses, was 

 built over the remains of an older settle- 

 ment — apparently the Rancheria de los 

 Gandnles seen by Onate in 1604. Moen- 

 kapi is said to have been founded within 

 the memory of some of the INIormon pio- 

 eers at the neighboring town of Tuba 

 City, named after an old Oraibi chief. 

 It was the head(iuarters of a large milling 

 enterprise of the IMormons a number of 

 years ago. (f. w. h.)

Mogg. An Abnaki chief. He had long 

 1 )een sachem of the Norridgewock and had 

 been converted to Christianity by PC^re 

 Rale when the English settlers in JVIaine, 

 in order to make good their title to terri- 

 tory which the Abnaki declared they had 

 not ])arted with, began a series of attacks 

 in 1722. Col. Westbrook in the first ex- 

 pedition found the village deserted and 

 burned it. In 1724 the P^nglish surprised 

 the Indians. The killing of Rale and 

 many of the Indians, the desecration of 

 the church, etc., left a blot on the honor 

 of the colonists (Drake, Bk. Inds., 312, 

 1880). In the tight fell Mogg and other 

 noted warriors. Whittier's poem "Mogg 

 ]Megone" recounts the story. See Mis^ 

 sions. (a. F. 0. ) 



Mogollon ( from the mesa and mountains 

 of the same name in New Mexico and 

 Arizona, which in turn were named in 

 honor of Juan Ignacio Flores Mogollon, 

 governor of New Mexico in 1712-15). A 

 subdivision of the Apache that formerly 

 ranged over the Mogollon mesa and mts. 

 in w. New Mexico and e. Arizona (Ind. 

 Aff. Rep., 380, 1854). They were asso- 

 ciated with the Mimbreiios at the Southern 

 Apache agency, N. ]\Iex., in 1868, and at 

 Hot Springs agency in 1875, and are now 

 under the Ft Apache and San Carlos res., 

 Ariz. They are no longer otticially recog- 

 nized as MogoUones, and their number is 

 not sej)arately reported. (f. w. h. )

 of the Susiiuehanna, prol)al)ly Iroquois. —

Mohave ( from hamok ' three ' , avi 'moun- 

 tain ' ) . The most populous and war- 

 like of the Yuman tribes. Since known 

 to history they appear to have lived 

 on lioth sides of the Rio Colorado, 

 though chietiy on the e. side, between 

 the Needles (whence their name is de- 

 rived) and the entrance to Black canyon. 

 Ives, in 1857, found only a few scattered 

 families in Cottonwood valley, the Ijulk 

 of their numl)er being below Hardyville. 

 In recent times a body of Chemehuevi 

 have held the river between them and 

 their kinsmen the Yuma. The Mohave 

 are strong, athletic, and well develoj)ed, 

 their women attractive; in fact, Ives 

 characterized them as tine a people phy- 

 sically as any he had ever seen. They 

 are famed for the artistic painting of their 

 bodies. Tattooing was universal, but
