 lions They did return,-to the mort'hc"- ton of the soldiers. The same game has been played by the sayaces of Camps Grant, Apache and Me Dowcll, and what, we ask, has been the re- suit |? More outbreaks; more murders more robberies, and more contempt for the white man and his Government.
 This was, in the main, the policy pursued by the military commanders here up to the time when General Crook came here and set to work to inaugurate new and different one Then there arose yeils-strong and viz orous--from Colyer and other members of the accursed Indian Ring, most of whom had never laid eyes upon hostile Indian. Gen. Crook - they soon learned was making preparations to subdue, by war, savages upon whom bribes, kindness and condcscension l had been wasted, and his hand must be stay 1 ed, no matter at what sacrifice of blood and l treasure. It was, stayed, after he had gone to the expense of preparing for active war fare, and after an arduous trip through the enemy's country, during which time he had organized force of friendly Apaches who, like himself, and the whites of this Territory, believed that, until certain Indians of the tribe were killed off, no lasting peace could be made Soon after this, Vincent Colyer, a notorious coward, robber, liar and accessory | to murder, alighted upon our soil, and, claim
 ing to be clothed with supreme power from President Grant, proceeded to breed disaffec- ton among the troops; to buy the active support of military officers and citizens, and to bribe savage murderers with presents pur- chased with money wrung from toiling mil lions of white Americans. At Camp Apache, he, with the view of endearing himself to the savages, gave his arm to dirty squaw, and, with her, promenaded around the post. But, this was nothing for the vile wretch who at Sitka, picked up drunken squaw in the street, had her carried to the military hospital and gave orders to have the filthy old hag placed in bed, alongside decent white men who were suffering from sickness
 
 country. No, this was nothing for the hyp- ocrite Colyer, who, while tarrying upon an
 Indian Reservation in Oregon, first heard of Colonel Bakers victory over the Piegan sav
 ages, and who, calling it "massacre of peaceable Indians" fairly danced for joy at, as he then remarked, the fair prospect the Indian Ring then stood of securing control of all Indians and Indian matters. This was nothing for the base wretch who, at Camp 1 Verde, in an address to the soldiers there stationed, lauded them as brave and good men, who had come here at their country's bidding, to protect lot of worthless, white outlaws from just punishment at the hands of noble, well disposed Indians, whose country said white outlaws had invaded, for the pur- pose of robbing the Indians and the Govern ment" This was nothing for the white
 livered fraud, who, at Camp Grant, ordered thirsty American citizens, who were travel ing over a highway of their country, to be shot down, should they dare approach cer- tain stream of water, to which said road led. Nothing was it for the nan who, in orders, ignored the rights of farmers to farms which, tor years, they had lived upon and cuntivat- ed, in order that said farms might be incorpo- rated, along with other land, as reservations for hostile Apaches, whom he was afraid to visit with less company than 20 armed troop CTS. Nothing was it for Colyer, who with unblushing efirontery, reported that General Crook coincided with his views on the Indi- an question, when he very well knew that General Crook had no faith. whatever, in him and his plans. Nothing was all this for the old dog who came here, unasked, to stir up mischief and, if possible, strengthen the In- dians so that they could drive out all white citizens save those only who were willing to become servants and affidavit men for robbing Indian agents whom he expected to stock the country with. Nothing was it for the foul tiend who would have the people of the coun- try believe that the Wickenburg massacre was the work of white men, when those who escaped with their lives from said massacre. have made oaths that Indians to whom Col l yer had given food and clothing were. un- occasionally, the murderers of Lor,g, Hamel and others. Nothing, indeed, was all this for man who, in speaking of the killing of an Indian murderer at Kirkland Valley. bv c. G. Genung, tried hard to make people be lieve that said killing was made solely with the view, on Genung's part, of gaining DOS. session of rifle which the savage carried with him, when he (Colyer) knew that Ge- nung was respectable citizen, who has more friends among the Western Apaches than any other white Arizonan. Colyer also knew that another Indian, who was travelling in company with Mir. Genung, informed that gentleman that the savage over whose just fate Colyer has just walled, had, short time before, murdered, without cause, Abraham Henning, citizen who had fed said Indian during the previous long winter! But, we have said enough, we think, to expose Mir. ~ nl
