 In June 1876, at lhe tune of the re mOval of part of the Chiricahua h. dians to San Carlos, Gen. Kautz was daly notified by Indian Agent Cum that the chiefs Whpo, Eronemo (or Geronimo and NoIgee with their bands were out, ana the General respectfully requested that they be pursued at once by the troops and il possible be over taken and pnnishel. Neither of these chiefs nor their people have ever been on San Carlos reservation. and the first heard of any of them by the military authorities, was announced in dis patch dated Fort Craig, N NJ, March F, and signed by Lt. Austin Henely, saying GeronimO-one Of the aforesaid renegade chiefs-was at Warm Springs Agency having just returned from a raid with 100 horses. Of course u. Henely traced him tp thal reserve, and that he had been raiiing from that Reserve into Sonora and Arizona, there is no doubt, and his trails could as easily have been follO4cd anytime since June, 1876. Without doubt, most of the above 100 horses came from about Crittenden, SonoitI and Santa Cruz, and were stolen Thcn the mur- ders were committed m those places early in February This disposes of all the base and wIllful lies put forth here and in Prescott regarding depre- dations southwark MT. Samuel Hughes tells Us that William Morgan lately reported Indians about the SOnnIta and that they were from San Carlos. but on being asked hos he knew they were from San Carlos, Morgan admit ted he only thought so and knew nothing for certain as 10 where they came from.
 Now, up 10 this date, no account has ever been gwen of the whereabouts of the other two bands under Whoo and Nolgee, reneEades reported by Agent Cum to General Kaulz in the same letter by which notice of Geronimo or Eronemo's absence was given So of course these two Chiefs are out with their bands. They have never been on San Carlos reservation and therefore always out of civil jurisdiction.
 Lt. Fucker stated tp Agent Cum about March 2G, after extensive scout ing south and east of San Carlos, that no trace of Indians had been found in these directions, but that all were east Of the Chiricahua and Dos CabesaS mountains. Up 10 this day, while un- der Agent ClGm'S charge, not a parii- cle of stolen property has ever been traced to or found upon San Carlos re serve, nor has any of the many brazen talSifiers had the cheek or courage to| say any had been.
 About 5000 Indians embracing va-i- 1. ous tribes from various localities. are and have for a long time been on that reserve. They have been kept '.t peace ! and made vast improvements in the way of building. ditching and farming and have saved much live stock from | their issue of beef; ,nd also have readily ! enlisted in the civil and military ser vice to follow renegade Indians
 In the face of all these and other equally credilable and important facts well known to the people at large and ! highly appreciated by the Department . at Washington and good men in Ari- zona, it is difficult to discern the slightest good public motive for ass;lil- ing the management and agent of San I Carlos reserve The f.lseh oodS are persistent and can only he malignant. They are against the interests of all of the Territory and the exposed settlers. They can accomplish nothing but harm, and especIally to this section of Ari- zona.
