The Daily Tombstone., 1886-08-07
Brutal.

hASIAiOuo set . tAO pSbttl tt!dli llS Al kIl- ches themselves, Montgomery. near Clifton, Arizona, shot and killed one of band of Apaehes. He cut off the head of the Indian, first scalping it, and sent it to Lordsburg, on the headlight of locomotive. The scalp will be sent. says the dispatch, by the officials of the Lordsburg and Clifton Railroad, to Mrs. Cleveland. Mon.- gcmery is a brute, and deserves the execration of decent men. Civilized people do not mutilate the bodies of their dead foes. On the contrary they give them sepulture. Mont gomery is the kind of timber of which sayages are made. The engineer who ran the locomotive to Lordsburg with the ghast.y frontispiece is another brute, fit associate for-the Montgomery brute, The officials of the Clifton and Lordsburg Railroad, if they send the scalp to Mrs. Cleveland, will also testify to their brutal instincts, and Grover ought, in that case, to pack his grip-sack, go west and COW hide the whole indecent lot. Such savag- cry as that reported in the dispatches from Tombstone is blot upon our civilization and gives our Indian wars all the color of heartlessness and the horrible front of savagery.
 The above is from the Sacramento Union and disgrace to that paper, and an insult to the people of Ari- zona, who for twenty years have heen praying to the general government for relief from Apache cruelties, and have never been answered. Even now a band of these assassins are the guests of the Nation, dressed up in plug hats and white neckties, and be- ing allowed to enter the sacred DOT tals of the rooms that were once the dwelling place of such men as Abraham Lincoln and James A. Gar field, and even Maria Halpin Grover Cleveland, the President of the United States, has stopped to shake the hands that are dripping with the blood of our fathers, mothers. wives and children. and bid them welcome at the Nations home. Because'a man named Montgomery God bless him), gave one of these blood thirsty Apa- ches some of his own medicine, this brutal and savage editor of theSSacra- mento Union rushes into print and condemns the people of this Terri tory. He says that this kind of treat ment is not civil warfare, that it is savage warfare. We would inform that individual that we have tried civil warfare, and that those savages, who should have been condemned and hung are now the guests of Sec retary Lamar and Grover Cleveland, not of the Nation, because we are part o. the Nation and that many an old soldier who fought through the civil war to preserve this nation, now lies mouldering in his grave in this sun kissed land victim to the teach cry of the savage Apache. We should like to take that contortionist Frank Pixley and the editor of the Sacra- mento Union, through the mountain passes of Cochise, Graham and Pima counties, and show them the lonely graves of our fellow citizens who have been shot down and butchered by these Indians who are now in Wash ington, and in fact we would like to turn these two worthies loose upon the San Carlos reservation away from the headquarters. It would give us the greatest pleasure in the world to write their obituaries, and write the minutest particulars of the horrible mutilation of their bodies. We should like to do this in order to know whether their friends would think that they had been cruelty and brutal ly treated. Such men as Pixley and the Union editor are disgrace to civilization.
