"- CHAPTER T
It ia neccaamrjr to sgaia "tara back'
for a few y ears, in the aeration of
this veracious history so as to make'
clear that which has for so long been
a "rarsterr" to army people- as well
as toothers. Only the other day
received a letter from an old ex-army.
officer requesting an "explanation."
He writes as follows: "we of
the army were always of the opinion
you must hare some sort of 'pull'
with the Apaches, to dare make such
extra hazardous trips into the heart
of their own country. .Will you do
me and perhaps others; a favor by
clearing up this mystery in the course
of your "reminiscences??
To comply with the above request
and to make-public for the first time
facts to hereinafter follow, are my
reasons for "turning back."
So long ago as one hundred and
fifty or perhaps two hundred years,
the Zuni Indians had their village at
los ojos calientes (the . hot springs),
twelve miles southwest of their pres
ent location,' and at that time a trea
ty was made under peculiar circum
stances, with the Apache tribes con
tiguous to the country of the Zufiis.
According to tradition as related to
me thirty years ago by an old cacique
of the tribe having charge of this
branch of their government, "the Zu
fiis had their village on the' cliffs at
los ojos calientes." At that time an
an old Jesuit .Priest lived with the
unís ana bad been so long among
them he had become Indianized, (if
I may be permitted to coin the word
for this occasion), so much so indeed
as to be undistinguishableat any dis
tance from an Indian. About this
time in their history, says the old ca
cique, ."the Zufiis and the Apaches
were, and had been for centuries, im
placable enemies, and it was certain
death to one party or the other
should they chance to 'meet.
One summer day nearly two cen
turies ago, so runs the legend, "the
Apaches suddenly appeared in force
about the village and made a des
perate assault upon it, but were re
pulsed with loss." At the foot of
the mesa upon which stood the Zufii
villages, and scattered about it for
several yards away from its base, were
many loose boulders, none of them
very large, which had at some time
fell or been broken off from the cliff.
During "the night following the
day-attack, an Apache brave more
reckless or more intrepid than his
companions, climbed up to and hid
himself behind one of these small
boulders close under the l-ase of
the cliff, and here waited until day
light in the hope of killing a Zufii."
In the early dawn of the morning,
sure enough there stood a Zufii near
the edge of the ciff, gazing at the
Apache encampment some distance
away, but totally unconscious of the
Apache warrior hidden behind the
rock - only a - few feet from him.
It required but a moment for
the ' Apache to " let slip a long
reed ' arrow tipped with obsidi
an, which transfixed the poor devil
and he fell off the cliff to the ground
below. Neither party were able to se
cure the body during the day, but the
night f ollwing the Apaches carried it
to theic camp; and after stripping
off its covering they were astonished
to see "a white body." It was the
Jesuif, Priest they had killed.- The
Apaches are a very superstitions peo
ple, and the finding of the "white
body so astonished them they im
mediately made overtures for peace,
either for superstitious reasons or to
cliear up the'mistery of the "white
body." At any rat "a treaty was
then and there enterpd jnto between
the Zufii . and the Apache tribes
which has endured to this day."
Events sometimes are very far reach
ing; for intance, the killing of ihe
Jesuit priest, " nearly two centuries
ago, was perhaps the cause of saying
my life as also of my- two frieuds
C E. Cooley and Henry W. Dodd
on that memorable trip in 1869. It
was on this wise: In the spring of '66
after a long speell of sickness, and
the Zufiis had reasons to believe that
I would fully recover, they held
big pow-wow at the house of the war-
chief Salvador at which all the
Caciqes were present including the
Tab-poop. Here they discussed
the pros and eons as to what effect
eating meat on certain days would
have upon - me; and, having arrived
at the conclusion-that: I being an
AirsBTiwUeold Zufii law or tra
dition could not effect my case; that
I had eaten meat through ignorance,
therefore the Great Spirit allowed
me to recover my - health; that' J.
then and at once must become a Zu
fiii this and I abjured eating meats
at certain times I .wonld "never: be
sick any more and would be prosper
ous," eet. eci, I was then formerly
adopted into the tribe and christen
ed Too-looah-too-loo. Suffice.to sav
I "shore" eat no meat for the first
four days of the New Tear, nor made
any smokes in the open air for the
first ten days of the New Year.
Going back to the lime we started on
this somewhat notorious trip into
Apaeheria;' the Zufiis held one of
their big Councils at which Es-cah
pah and his braves were present, also
the writer of this narrative. The
Zufiis then . and . there made
known to the Apaches the fact that I
Too-looh-too-loo was one of their
tribe, and made the Apaches pledge
themselves that no harm should
come to me; otherwise, it would be
war on sight thereafter; and futher-
more, the old treaty relationships
had with the ancestors of both tribes
were gone over witn, ana again as
was done two tundred years before,
mutual pledges and expressions were
indulged in, and the Council broke
up at a late hour in the night.
This ia- my "explanation," . and al
though I could go on much further
into the subject in a delineation of
the "habits and traditions" of those
mysterious people, I have neither
time nor space to do so at this time,
We will now return to our cam'
on tne uanzo creek in tne Apacne-
ria."
About sunset the troops filed past
our camp ata distance ot nity.or
sixty yards, and pitched cámp about
one hundred and fifty yards above
us on the Carizo. Not until this
was done did we see any one - of our
"peace party," but when all return
ed safely into camp the Indians
were rejoiced that' no treachery had
been committed by the soldiery. Of
the officers with this troop of horse
were Captain Barry, Lieutenants
Calhoun and F. K. Upham, two or
three civilians, one of whom was Mr.
George Cooler, now of Tucson; also
Chief Manuel, with twelve of his
(tame) Apache braves. These so-
called tame Apaches were along
with Colonel Green to do trailing and
butchering as the circumstances of
the case required. That evening
the officers came down to our camp
and had supper with us, the squaws
doing the culinary act, After sup
per talk was kept up until a late
hour, and in the meantime, Huero
came to me two or tnree times to
ask "if the soldiers were good.'
During the whole time we were
with the Apaches I made it a rule to
be always on the alert and prepared
for any sudden attack, by securing
my horse within easy reach of
my -
hand; and, with a little sack filled
with dried pounded meat a small
canteen filled with water and my
rifle and six-shooter beneath the
blankets of my bedding, I was al
ways ready at a momenta notice.
The little sack of meat and canteen
were always tied fast to the saddle
which was used for a pillow at night
Sometime between one and two
o'clock that night after all had re
tired Cooley said to me: ' "What do
you suppose the troops came up
here' for!" I replied, "to see the
country and the Indians, I suppose."
"No," said he, "but to get you put
the camp - then to kjl every
Indian little - and big in this
camp.. I heard Colonel Green
givethis order to Captain Barry;
and, as for 'our three selsve . we
are likely to be Bhot after first
receiving a drum-head oourt marr
This to me was , astounding
information, and I at once . began
giving Cooley and Dodd the devil
for bringing the troops there for
such a dastardly purpose; but they
excused themselves by saying they
were powerless to do otherwise
did not reiissi tnis sort ox work lor
the very simple reason"' that I had
been instrumental in keeping the
Indians at the camp when they
could all have easily made their
escape.

plenty of backing, and had every

but Secretary Noble had decided on
giving it to another man.

The New. State of Hawaii.
' . - : r. rt
The Bubjectbf 4hé annexation of
the Hawaiian islands .was up before
the house in the form of a resolu
tion which provided that the Sand
wich islands be created into a new
state to be called Hawaii, with a re
publican form of government to be
adopted by the people through dep
uties in a convention with the con
sent of the existing government.
Conditions were proposed that all
questions of boundary or complica
tions with other governments be
transmitted to the president to be
laid before congress for final action
before Jan. 1, 1898, that all property
pertaining to the public defense be
ceded to the United States; but that
the state retain all other property
and the. United States be liable for
none of its debts.
A resolution was proposed as an
alternative that Hawaii may be ad
mitted as a state by treaties between
the two governments with one rep
resentative in congress, and proposes
an appropriation oi IUU,UUU ior
making the treaties. The resolution
was referred to the committee on

THE MOUND OF DEATH.
A Leg-sad of the Mequi Tribe of In
Slaughterings in this country like
those in Armenia; a Christian vil
lage wiped out in a single night and
the people burned and tortured.
The idea seems incredible.
Yet such a massacre, in which
more than 600 people lost their lives,
occurred in northeastern Arizona in
the year 700. The site of the mar
tyr village is marked by a great heap,
wh".ch is known by the Indians to
day as the "Mound of Death." Up
to now,' however, nothing- has been
known definitely about this mound.
The old Spanish records spoke of
the destruction of the town of Awa
tobi, at the period mentioned, by
seven other Moqui towns that com
bined to attack it, but there was no
other information, - save such . as
could be derived from aboriginal
legends. But an investigation set
on foot by the bureau of ethnology
has brought everything to light, and
digging in the mound has revealed
plenty of evidence respecting the
tragic ; cat as trophy.
Ethnologist J. Walker Fewkes has
just returned to Washington from
the investigation. During the last
summer and autumn he has been en
gaged in a general examination of
ruin&t in the neighborhood of the
present Moqui villages. There are
seven modern villages of these Indi
ans who number about 2,000 souls.
ormeny tney were mucn - more
numerous than at present, occupying
perhaps one-fourth of Arizona. All
around them are mounds which are
the remains of towns . deserted and
extinct. ' Of these the most remark
able are the ruins of Awatobi and
SikyatkL" -
Awatobi signifies ' "Place of the
Bow People.". According to the
Moqui legend it was destroyed be
cause wizards lived there. The peo
ple of the town welcomed the Span
ish priests and accepted the Chris-
tain religion. From this cause arose
much trouble. The rain stayed
away and so many annoying things
happened that the seven other vil
lages decided to wipe out Awatobi.
They combined in a night assault,
when most of the men of Awatobi
wereengaged in religious exercises
in a subterranean ceremonial cham
ber." The invaders, being admitted
hy iaiilmi i' rhinugh ihe gates, sur
roaaded eahnáWCremaml chamber
and having cut ff alt wieinw of-
cape for the occupants, threw 3laz
ing faggots down upon them. They
also cast in quantities of red pep
pers to add to the tortures of the
burning victims. Most of the peo
ple of the town were massacred,
though, the children and a few of
the women were saved.
Dr. Fewkes made up his mind to
dig into the "Mound of Death." If
there was any truth in the . legend,
he ought to find evidence. He per
suaded an aged Indian, who seemed
to be well acquainted with all the
traditions of the tribe, to accompa
ny him to Awatobi and point out
the approximate Jocaron of the
"kiva," or ceremonial txjamber, re
ferred to in the story. Then, with
the assistance of a force of natives,
digging was begun. To remove the
debris and superincumbent sand of
the mound was a big job, but the
labor was well rewarded, for the ex
cavation at length disclosed the
walls of the "kiva." It was a room
of large size and at the bottom
were found ' great quantities of hu
man bones, evidently representing
scores of individuals. Many of the
bones had been charred by fire. In
short, it was demonstrated that .the
legend was no idle tale. Here,
caught like so many rats in a trap,
perhaps nearly 100 men met their
fate under conditions the most hor
rible that could be imagined. Not
far away, near the gate of the town,
Dr. Fewkes found evidences of an
other massacre, immense numbers of
human bones forming a ghastly ac
cumulation. In this place, as in the
ceremonial chamber, the bones were
mixed up higgly-piggley, in such a
manner as to preclude the notion of
mere burial. It was a case of pro
miscuous slaughter, bloodthirsty and
ruthless. Among the Moquis the
dead are burned ordinarily with the
most respect and even reveranee, be
ing laid in the graves Oh eeremo
nies as elaborate as those which pre
vail among Christians.
Dr. Fewkes obtained a complete
story -of the mass acre from an old
woman of the village of Walpi,
whose maternal ancestor was one of
the few who escaped destruction oa
that fatal night, said that
Awatobi was quite a lac e town. In
fact, according to the Spanish mis
sion records, it had 800 inhabitants,

were exquisitely white. ' His mouth

he never had tasted . tobacco or
used spirituous liquors, save when
his physician had recommended a
little whiskey, and then not enough
to color a glass. He drank sparingly
of claret and champaarne, caring
only for the flavor. He was gentle,
kindly, genial, and in a manly sense
beautiful. There are many distin

in the season, and they were gratifi

ceremony to announce him as a per
sonage a man who had made events
and he never posed or gave the
slightest hint, in his movements, of
concious celebrity. I never saw him
bothered by being aware of himself
but once, and that was, when across
the street from the Fifth Avenue
Hotel in the dusk of an evening, he
shaded his face with his hand and
looked curiously at ten thousand
people who were gazing at the hotel,
and shouting madly for him expect
ing that he would appear at a win
dow and make acknowledgment of
their enthusiasm. Suddenly he saw
in the glance of one beside him that he
was curiously yet doubtfully regard
ed, and hastened away in fear of his
friends, who in their delight . at dis- -covering
him would have become a
mob. McClure's Magazine.
How Lincoln Offered Himself as
a Candidate in 1832.
The audacity of a young man in
his position presenting himself as a
candidate for the legislature is fully
equaled by the humility of the clos
ing paragraphs of his announcement:
'But, fellow-citizens, I shall con-
conclude. Considering the great de
gree of modesty which should al
ways attend youth, it is probable I
have already been more presuming
than becomes me. However, upon
the subjects of which I have treated
I have spoken ' as I have thought.
I may be wrong in regard to any , or
all of them; but, holding it a sound
maxim that it is better only some
times to be right than at all times to
be wrong, so soon as. I -discover my
opinions to be erroneous, I shall be
ready lo renounce them.
Every man is said to have his pe
culiar ambitions, whether it be true
or not, I can say, for one, that I have
no other so great as that of being
truly esteemed of my fellow-men by
rendering myself worthy of their
esteem. How far I shall succeed in
gratifying this ambition is yet to be
developed. I am young and un
known to many of you- I was born.
and have ever remained, in the most
humble walks of life. I have no
wealthy or popular relatives or
friends to recommend me. My case
is thrown exclusively upon the inde
pendent voters, of. tVi county; and,
if elected, they will have conferred a
favor upon me for which I shall be
unremitting in my labors to com
pensate. But, if the good people iu
their wisdom shall see fit to keep me
in the background, I have been too
familiar with disappointments to be
