Loco, one Of the Apache chiefs captured
by General Crook, Is the head Of the royal
family of Mangas Colorado, and the iegiti-
mate chief of the Apache nations. In his
earlier life he had been such lover Of wom-
en-, peace and poker that the old braves
looked on him with ill-concealed con
tempt, and he won the soubriquet Loco,
which is Mexican word slgnifying "fool."
All raids were conducted by Victoria, while
Loco played .'ante" on The reservation. On
the death of Cochise, however, he showed
the nation that he could organize and lead a
scalping party. From that day he gave both
the Uni'ed States troops and the authorities
of Sonora and chihuahua, Mexico, great
deal Of trouble. Another of the captured
chiefs, Naua, is not hereditary leader of
his people, but for years he has had more
influence with the Mezcalleros, tribe Of
Apaches-so-called from their fondness for
mezcal, the American aloe--ihan any other
man. His disposition has been at heart
peaceful.
