A Townsville Gal dispatch to the
Atlanta Consfifusion says: "a sps-
cisl car passed through here bearing
remnants Of Geronimo's band, lately
captured by General Crook near Tomb,
stone Arizona. They numbered in all
about eighty.six men, women, and chill
drsn. twenty-five Of whom were young
braves. The wife and children OF Ge-
ronimo were among the prisoners. They
were the first real savages that many OF
our people had ever seen, and were 90
iec,s of much interest during the few
minutes the car stopped at the depot,
where q large number OF citizens nad
gathered to see them pass. They were
under strong guard Of United States
troops. They left Arizona last Wed
nesday, and we're bound for st. Au.
gusta, where they were lodged In Fort
Marion.
In the first coach was confused pile
Of blankets, dirty rags, cooking uten-
sils, firewood, squaws, pappooses, DUCK
Indians, and general picturesque NTH
and savage finery. Nearest the door
was q genuine specimen Of an Apache
chief, in the person Of old Mana, the
most atrociously villainous and blood
thirsty wretch of the entire Apache,
Moisve, or Comanche nation. His
wrinkled features were perfectly mo-
,ionless when the officer abruptly
addressed him and said "chikizln
or brother" 1t was his fingers that
twined themselves in the beautiful
golden locks of Mrs. Charles Akers, OF
Akers ranch, Arizona, who was foully
murdered by Mana and four hostile
bucks in 1881, after the tongues OF her
babes had been cut out of their heads
while the children we're still alive. Ii
was this cunning old chief who led the
revolt in 1881, and who is believed to
be over ninety years old, yet who has
the blood of some human beings on his
soul to answer for each year of his
life.
The chiefs are Chihuahua, the most
crafty outside Mana, yet who was de-
cidedly the best-looking as we'll as best
dressed. lie wore a bright red.and-
blue Mojave blanket, pair OF red-fan-
mel pants that set tight to his limbs,
and a blue shirt with dude collar. 1t
was a picturesque makeup" and the
old fellow seemed rather inclined to the
vanity that smacks Of MASKING"
Chihuahua has put to death many inno-
cent women and children, as well
as killed men and soldiers In the
last foray through Arizona and
Mexico. lie has as little regard
for a Gresser as he has for dog.
chihuahua had two squaws with him,
one being a blushing bride who has
only slid her neck into the Apache
nuptial moose several weeks. They
were the best dressed as well as the
cleanest Of all the squaws. The two
squaws seem to dwell in peace and
amity. One had fashionable bangs;
but, instead of curling at each SIDE of
The forehead by the ears, they ran clear
around her head, giving her greatly
banged appearance. chihuahua is
about nineteen years Of age, and he
asserts that Mana is one hundred and
twenty.seven years old. One of the
officers said of Chihuahua: He'd
90 in that car now ana kill his
own brother for $50" The brother of
this Cain is Josona, not as noted for
deeds Of murder as chihuahua or Mana,
but he has held his own, as the raid on
the Mexican miners at Camp ella, where
Josana murdered five men, testiiies.
Cathany, young chief, comes next in
importance. 1t was this filthy, dirty
redskin, with a face that haunts
one in dreams and the muscular
development Of any athlete liy-
ing, who killed Judge McComas
and faulty, scalpiDg the Judge before
death ended his life, and then dashing
out the brains Of his little girl by pick
ing her up, and beating her head against
the corner of a shed. Cathany had a
sulky look. He has travelled on foot
over one hundred miles day, time and
again. and does not know what fatigue
is. Cathany has the face Of murderer.
