Left an Indian Agency and Joined
the SuVages.
From the Tombstone Republican.
A few days since Hermosillo dis
patch announced the wounding and
capture of a white man, supposed TO be
i. n. Streeter, while heading an Apache
foray. Streeter is about 80 years OF age
and was born in California, bis father
being captain of an English merchant
man trading on the Pacific coast and
his mother native Californian. Of
his boyhood or early manhood very
little is known, he first coming into
notice in Arizona by his connection as
clerk with the San Carlos Agency dur
ing Governor SaH0rd's administration
in this Territory. While there he had
some difficulty with the officials, caus-
ed, it is said, by his giving aid and COM
fort to hostile Apaches. He left there
suddenly and went straight for the
camp of Juh and Geronimo, which was
then near Janos Pass, on the line be-
tween Sonora and Chihuahua. 1t is
stated that while he was at the agency
he became enamored Of squaw be-
longing to the tribe and it was this fact
that induced his leaving civilization to
cast his fortunes with the Apaches.
Governor Stafford offered large reward
for his apprehension, some stories plac-
ing the amount as high as S., 1000. He
was not apprehended, however, and
has never returned to Arizona.
He is said by those knowing him in
timately to be very intelligent and well
educated, and manuscript now in the
hands Of the writer, written while
Sreeter was at Grensdos, goes to prove
it. He speaks the Apache dialect flu
emily and is said to have great influence
with them. His standing among the
savages, by whom he Is known as Den
Cassamiro, may be seen when it is
known that the eldest son of Chief Ge-
ronimo is named for him.
