Ten years ago Wneu sho oSHoE APaCno

 less than one thousand persons in this eoun- | try and in Mexico They are constantly try l ing to stir up mischief among the Indians
 and so long as they can run back and forth
 across the border this territory and New Mexico must look cut fer trouble. They are 1 the worst band of Indians in America. The | agency Indians are behaving well. Not one | has left San Carlos and their assistance can | be relied on in case all the Chericohuas re-
 turn, as they may if pressed by the Mexican 1 troops or desire of plunder." Secretary Teller immediately telegraphed in reply to 1 General Crook: "Your telegram received, | for which accept my thanks. I agree with | you that the renegade hand must be subju l gated or destroyed. The interest of the whites and peaceable Indians alike demand I this"
