 Tucson Citizen: Teswin, the production from which the present Indian raid is said to have arisen
 is as much an article of mystery to the general reader as the ingre- dients of boarding house hash. As made by the Indians it is crude and weak fermentation, producing intoxication only by imbibing large quantities after a prolonged fast. They remove the hulls of a quantity of corn by the use of lime and ashes, then soak the grains for several days and grind to coarse meal. This is placed in an olla and allowed to attain a state of brisk fermentation, when the ingredients are briskly stirred and the meal drank with the H. QUOT. The Indians usually ab- stain from food for several days be- fore teswin spree, in order to get the intoxicating effect, but when the result is obtained it is the era ziest of all trunks. It is often made in a much better manner, by even some Mexicans in this city. It IS usual for them to add flavor ings that gives it a more pleasant and agreeable taste.
 Silver City (N. M.) Sentinel :. The direct responsibility for every murder committed by these h. dians is upon Gen. Crook. Forty eight hours before Geronimo left
 
 the reservation the Lieutenant in immediate charge of them tele- graphed to Crook that they were preparing to leave, and asking for authority to put them under ar rest. This was peremptorily re- fused. Then six hours before they left, the Lieutenant again tele- graphed for such authority, stating that the Indians were on the point of departure, and immediate ac- ton was necessary. To this, after long and unnecessary delay, came the reply authorizing forci- ble detention. As might have been expected, the authority came too late. Geronimo had been gone just three hours. Aside from this direct responsibility, there is this: Crook recently reported to Wash ington that these Indians were quiet and satisfied on the reserva- tion, and were disposed to engage in agriculture and pastorial pur- suits. The result shows that in this, Crook misrepresented, for the signs of restlessness and dissatis- faction which the Chiricahuas even then gave were unmistakable, and must have been within the Gener- al's knowledge, as they were un- doubtedIy within the knowledge of his subordinates. Furthermore, when Crook brought Geronimo and Lls band from the Sierra Madres, he became their sponser, and guar anteed their future good conduct. Look at the matter from any stand point, and the responsibility rests upon Crook and Tn nine years of newspaper work on the frontier this Is the first occasion on which we have really felt that his acts called for condemnation. We now say: D-n Crook and his policy, Of which we are reaping the re- suits.
 Globe Democrat: Geronimo { (Her-ron-i-mo) is the head chief of the Apaches, the most untrust- worthy Indians in the west, and the leaders in nearly all the out breaks that have made bloody his tory in Arizona and New Mexico for years. Formerly the Apaches were powerful and controlled the country in which they have latterly been but little better than prison- CTS by virtue of their reputation for fighting and craft. The Chey- ennes to the north were their ene- mics, not always victorious nor
