CHAPTER II.
Tho threo mountain ranges men
tioned in the foregoing chapter, af
forded a sccr.ro retreat for the
Apaches, and practically almost an
insurmountable barrier against any
successful pursuit of them by tho
military. During tho earlier part of
tho year 18G1- Apacho depredations
were almost of daily occurrence, aud
had reached that stage at which the
commanding officer of tho Southern
district detcraiiiod to chastize tho
red devils and try and put a stop to
their develtry. General Deven hav
ing obtained reliablo information
that a great many Indian outrages
then being committed in southern
Arizona, were not, as usually sup
posed, perpetrated by the Chirica
hua Apaches under old Cochise, but
that a large number were committed
by tho tribes mentioned in chapter
one.
Early in June, 1809, Major Green,
the commandant at Camp Goodwin,
received orders from headquarters at
Camp McDowell, to take all his
available force and with himself at
its head, to at once put into execu
tion a vigorous campaign against all
Apaches ranging over the country
lying north of tho Gila. Accord
ingly, Colonel Green, at tho head
of four troops of cavalryj and a par
ty of "tame Apaches" under Chief
Manuel, in pursuance of his orders,
began his perilous march into the
wilds of the unknown mountains to
tho northward, After many days of
hard marching, clamlxring and
climbing over almost inaccessible
mountains, tho command finally en
camped July 27, 18G9, near tho junc
tion of two mountain streams, now
known as tho East and West forks
of White river, about one-fourth of
a mile west of tho present site of
Fort Apacho. At various times and
places along tho line of march, hos
tiles were frequently met with, who
were routed by tho troops, and their
corn-fields destroj-ed. In these nu
merous encounters some few Apaches
were killed and others more or less
wounded.
Tho reader will pardon another
short digression, as it is necessary to
a clear comprehension of the narra
tion. On the 12lh day of July, 1?G9, C.
E. Cooley, Ileary Wood Dodd and
the writer of these reminiscences,
accompanied by a small party of
Coyotero Apaches under Chief Es-coh-pah
(accent on tho middle sylla
ble) and a Mexican cautivo named
Miguel, the chiefs interpreter, wo
pulled out of the Zuni tillages, with
tho ostensible purpose in view of
hunting a supposed fabulously rich
placer gold mine, known to many in
New .Nexico as the "Doe. Thorn
story." Be foro leaving tho Pueblo
do Zuni, .situated in New Mexico,
about twenty miles east of tho íxmíi
dary lino ljctweou that territory and
Arizona, Captain Cressy, of the 3d U.
S. cavalry, stationed at Fort Win
gate, with a detachment of his
troops as escort for himself and tho
post intsrpreter, came over to tho
villages to have a conference with us
before wo were permitted to start
upon our wild-goose chase into the
unknown wilds of tho Apacheria.
Tho truthful writer should never
sacrifice the truth of fact and inci
dent to the mere eleganco of 'diction
or a glittering or pleasing romance;
however much he may desire, by al
lowing his imagination to run wild
into the realms of tho picturesque;
but on the contrary he should stick
to plain facts, for it is well known
that tho simple "truth Í3 stranger
than fiction." Therefore, I will
here record the humiliating fact,
that Captain Cressy's visit to us did
not partako so much of a social
nature as one could have wished,
but his real object was for the ex
press purpose of inspecting our out
fits, to see that "we ruu3," instead of
being gold Luuters, were not in re
ality engaged in illicit traffic with
the hostile. Apaches. Of our three
selves, each Lad his own pet object
itt tho consummation of this re
markable . expedition, viz: Cooley
was for seeking tho Doc. Thome
placers; Dodd, (peaco to his ashes),
went along to get away from his old
friend and implacublo enemy, John
Barleycorn; and the writer, at that
time, full of adventure and romantic
nonsense, had for his objects solely
explorations and adventure.
In tho year 1869, the whole of that
immense area, now designated on
tho maps as Apacho county, includ
ing also a part of Yavapai, Graham
and Gila counties, comprising, a3 t
diil, many thousand square miles,
was then uninhabited by a single
white man or Mexican an unex
plored tierra incognito and over
the whole roamed the fiendish
Apache, the undisputed monarch of-
all. "Without incident or mishap do
serving of particular notice, suffice
to Ea' wo safely arrived at t he ran
cheria of the. Coyoteros, situated on
Carizo creek, late in the afternoon of
July 18, 18G9. Here wo remained
encamped with the Apaches several
days, recuperating ourselves and
animals, preparatory to the final
start; first to find "Sombrero butte;"
second, to find the "Sierra Pintados;"
and third, to find the "stone corral"
all of which were the designated
landmarks that were to unoaringly
guide us to the more than El Do
radoto tho Doc. Thome gold plac
ers the goal of our phantasmal ex
pedition. "

A FIII3I STAND.
Kxtracls From President Cleveland's
Message of the 17th.
"The course to be" pursued by
this Government, in view of tho pre
sent condition, does not appear to ad
mit of serious doubt.' Having labor
ed faithfully for many years to in
duce Great Briton to submit this
disputo to irupartial-arbitration and
having leen finally apprised of her
refusal tó do so, nothing remains but
to accept tho situation, to recognize
its plain requirements, and to deal
with it accordingly.
"I suggest that Congress make
adequate appropriation for the ex
penses of a commissson to be ap
pointed by tho Executive, who shall
make the necessary investigation aud
report upon tho matter with the
least possible delay. When such re
port is made and accepted it will, ia
my opinion, be the duty of the United
States to resist by every means in its
lower as a willful aggression upon
its rights and interests the appropria
tion by Great Britain of anylandsor
the exercise of governmental juris
diction over any territory which, after
investigation, wo have determined of
right belong to Venezuela.
"I n making t hese recommend at ions,
I am fully alive to tho responsibility
incured and fully realize all con
sequences that may follow. I am
nevertheless firm in my conviction
that while it is a grevious thing to
contemplate tho two great English
speaking people of tho world as be
ing otherwiso than friendly compet
itors in the onward march of civil
ization and strenuous and worthy
rivals in ajl tho arts of peace, there
3 no calamity which a groat nation
can invite which equals that which
follows supine submission to WTong
and injustice and tho consequent loss
of national self-respect and honor be
neath which is shielded and defended
the peoples safety and greatness."
The gigantic specimen of tho Arc
tic rhinosceros that was lately dis
covered frozen up in tho icelergthat
stranded at tho Lena Delta was seven
feet taller than tho largest variety of
tho rhinoceros of to-day, and was
armed with two nose horns, the short -
est of which was three feet and two
inches in length. The animal doubt
less belonged to the antediluvian
species of rhinoceri, and his immense
size gives some idea of tho enormous
and terrible beasts which ic1 abited
this planet in tho days when tho
earth was j-oung. Tho creature's

The Straight of The Matter I'rom a Kc
llablc Source.
By tho Globe Silver Belt particu
lars are now at hand respecting the
Indian fight on tho Cibicu before
touched upon in lato press dispatch
es. It appears that tho "cowlxiys"
referred to constituted a sheriiTs
posse, headed by Deputy Sheriff E.
L. Bcnbrook, ono of tho nerviest
oilicers in tho employ of SheriiT
Thompson of Gila county. Tho re
gion referred to lies in tho north
east f-ri nnrt of Gila count-, aud
well within the Apache reservation.
At the Octolxr (1895) term of the
district court of Gila county, two
Indians, Tonto C 21 and Tonto O 8,
were indicted for burglary committed
at the Vosburg rauch in the vicinity
of Pleasant Valley. The warrant
for tho arrest of the Indians wanted
was delivered to Deputy Benbrook,
who left Globe, December 1, for
Cibicu to mako tho arrest. Arriving
at Pleasant Valley ho was joined by
Bill Voris, Frank Ketchersides and
Huso Kyle. The party left the
Gentry ranch, threo miles above
Ellison's on Thursday morning De
cember 5, and arrived at Cooley's
camp (Cooley being head chief of
tho band of Indians) an Cibicu creek,
thirty miles distant, about sundown.
Nan-tan-go-tayz, the chief then in
authority, a brother of Chief Cooley,
upon lieing informed through au in
terpreter what tho officers wanted,
consented to tho arrest of the two
Indians. Tonto C 24 was identified
and placed under arrest and the
oilicers had started to ride away
with their ' prisoner when Ketcher
side recognized Tonto O 8, among
the forty or fifty Indians in the camp.
At this juncture Loco Jim hailed tho
officers and asked what they wanted
with the two Indians, and then
Captain Jack, tho interpreter, rode
up and said they could not take the
Indians' away.
Whilo they were parleying the
other Indians legan to gather in
around the officers and Nan-tau-go-ta3-z,
the chief, came up close to
Kerchcrside's horse aud made a grab
for tho bridle rein, but missed it, as
tho horse jerked his head away.
The chief then went up to Voris and
with both hands grasp the Winchest
er hung.on.tho side of the saddle,
and attempted to draw tho gun from j
its holster.
Voris thereupon caught the Indi
an's wrist with both hands and broke
tho hold of one hand on the gun,
when the Indian, retaining his hold
on tho gun with ouo hand, grasp
tho bridle rein of Voris' horse with
tho other. Just then Tonto C 24,
one of the Indians whom the posse
went to arrest, fired a shot from a
distance of about twenty yards, and
Voris, seeing that tho situation was
desperate and tho chief was getting
tho better of him, drew his sixshoot
er and fired at his adversar-. Tho
Indian threw his head back and
avoided tho bullet, whereupon Voris
placed tho pistol close to the Indi
an's breast and fired agein. Nan-tan-go-tayz
fell forward on his face
without uttering a word. About
twenty-five Iudiaus standing on the
side 'of a hill, some sixty j-ards away,
fired "-volley at the oilicers, which
passeu óixr their heads, and the lat
ter returned the fire from their
pistols.
Tho officers put spurs to their
horses and a race for life lxgau, tho
Iudiaus who were mounted and arm
ed giving chase. After a hard run
of half a milo tho trail made an
abrupt turn and the Indians in the
lead by a fiauk movement got ahead
of the officers, who, seoiug they
were cut off, took to the cedar brake
to the right of tho trail aud up the
steep sido of tho mountain. Here
tho posso got scattered; Voris was
in the lead, and, dusk having fallen,
ho regained the trail, forged ahead
alono and reached Ellison's ranch
alxMit 1:30 o'clock on Friday morn
ing. Benbrook and Kyle soon cama
together again in tho timber. Ben
brook's pony was winded, and going
up the mountain, fell and caught
the rider's right kueo under the
saddle, causing him a painful injury.
Having returned to tho trail, they
were
ied off by tho Itidi
: eo more to take to
ans .
the timber, and were joined by
Ketcherside.
Voris, when ho reached a narrow
defile near Canyon crock, twenty
miles from Cibicu, saw a signal-fire
a short distance from tho trail, and
when Benbrook, Ketcherside and
Kyle passed, tho embers of tho Are
were plainly to bo seen. The Indi
ans who had got ahead of them on
the trail had probably made tho fire
to signal John Dazin's band of In
dians, and had gone on to tho main
crossing, of Cañón creek, with tho
intention of ambushing the officers.
Suspecting this, Voris left the main
trail and crossed Cañón creek lower
down, and his companions under tho
guidance of Ketcherside, took an
old trail that crossed the creek high
er up, and arrived at Ellison's ranch
at 3 o'clock Friday moraing.
When tho fight commenced at Ci
bicu the officers wero compelled to
abandon their pack mule which was
carrying their blankets, sixty rounds
of amunition, provisions and camp
utensils. That auy of tho men
escaped with their lives seems provi
dential, and can bo accounted for
only by tho approach of nightfall
which lent thorn its kindly protection.
Tho officers when they realized
the futility of attempting to take
the two Indians tried to get away
peaceably, intending to go to Fort
Apacho and ask tho military for as
sistance, but the Indians, bent on
mischief, provoked tho fight. The
Indians wero tho aggressors and the
officers when attacked were- in the
discharge of their duty.
The apathy and apparent unwill
ingness of the military at Apache, on
former occasions, to assist civil
officers in tho apprehension of In
dian malefactors is sufficient excuse
for Deputy Benbrook not going first
to the post to request a military
escort to aid and protect him in the
discharge of his duty.
It w-as in August, 1S90, that Sheriff
J. H. Thompson went to Fort Apache
to secure the arrest of Guadalupe
and an other Indian who murdered
young Baker in the Sierra Anclia.
Colonel Hunt, then in command at
Apache, made no effort to arrest the
Indians fer whom the sheriff had
warrants, further than that after two
or three days' delay two scouts went
out, as alleged, to get Guadalupe,
but returned without him. A few
days after Guadalupe came in and
on the insistence of Sheriff Thomp
son was placed in the guard house.
The sheriff then requested an escort
to San Carlos, which Colonel Hunt
refused him, and after remaining
about ten days at Apache the sheriff
took Guadalupe from the guard
house at 3 o'clock in the morning
and by a forced ride of ninety miles
reached San Carlos . ia safety with
his prisoners.
The White Mountain Apaches, liv
ing on Cibicu creek, are "the most
warlike and trecherous Indians on
the reservation. While ostensibly
under the surveillance of the com
manding officer at Port Apache,
practically they are under no re
straint whatever. They continue in
their prestiño savagery, enioyingsf'a
largest liberty, and retaining tl
hatred of tho whites. They killV
tie and loot ranches when opp
nity offers, and are not averse
taking human life.
These Indians, living forty-six
miles from Fort Apache, cannot bo
kept in subjection. They roam -at
pleasure, and may be off the reserva
tion for weeks without the knowl
edge of the commanding officer at
Apache. They are a continual men
aeo to the peace of eastern Arizona
and it is high time that tho govern
ment removed them to the Indian
Territory, or elsewhere, where they
could bo kept under strict surveil
lance. The Phenix Republican says "Shor-
