NOTES. 



Matrimonial reverses like tLe one given in this narrative are by no means un- 

 common among the Klamaths of the present day. They are one of the unavoidnhlc

 brutal husbands through tlic advent of the whites, and also of tlie obnoxious and 

 corrupting neighborhood of the soldiers at Fort Klamath.
