Three hundred years ago, various RENE
dies were used to stop bleeding. Thus a
kew, on account of the GOODNESS of the
metal of which it is composed, was often
employed; hence the term '~'key-cold" be-
came proverbial, and is referred to by
many old writers. In Orchard Ill"

THE APACHES
Scattering Death and Destruction Through Southeastern Ari-
 ZOna and Sonora.

The dispatches received from the vicinity of Bowie and Nogales, show that Geronimo and his band of fends have started out upon another bloody raid. It is estimated that fifty massa- cres, principally families of ranch men on the borders. both in the Uni ted States and Mexico, have occurred since the surrender of the department by General Crook to General Miles. It is authoritively announced that Geronimo and his band are heading for the north and that they will pass up into the Mogollons and the La drones in a few days, if not ovt rtaken by the troops. A large number of murders have been reported since the foregoing was written, and with deep regret we learn that among the many victims of these hellish fends, are Hank Hewit and Frank Bartlett, for merly well.known army packers, but latterly horse. breeders on the Bear Valley ranch, thirty miles northwest of Nogales. These two gentlemen will be remembered by the old resi- dents Of Prescott, as they were sta tioned at Whipple for long time, having large packing contract with the Government.
 This looks as if the raids of Gero- nimo and band instead of decreasing are increasing, and the people of that ill,fated country are being butchered without the first show of protection. General Miles has now an opportuni- ty to exhibit that wonderful military poweress and skill which has been at tributed to him by some of the news papers in Southern Arizona. Ills military record has been lauded to the skies and we now hope to see his actions bear out the endorsements that he has received from the press.

MALIGNIN0 rus PEOPLE OF ARIxONI
From some of our exchanges we learn that would.be Governor C.

From some of our exchanges we learn that would-be Governor C. Meyer Zulick has preferred charges against the directors of the Territor. ial Insane Asylum, in which he charges them with incompetency, neglect of duty and official miscon. ducj and that he proposes to try the directors and act in the dual capacity of judge and jury:
 To the old residents of Arizona, men who came here years ago, and who have made Arizona what it is to- day. this will appear rather an unusual proceeding. In those days men were not accustomed to accuse parties Of the6 and adjudge them guilty on their own say-so. The gentlemen who have been arraigned by this man who appears to try to assume equal powers with the Czar of Russia-are citizens of our Territory, we'll and ia. yorably known throughout its length and breadth. Men who have thor oughly identified themselves Tn the section of country in which they live, by the expenditure of their own mon- ey and time in helping to build up the different kgihmase industries where they reside. We have always been of the opinion that the Insane Asylum bill was a premature meas ure, and that no real necessity existed for the erection of the asylum at pres ent But we do believe that the gen. tlemen who are the directors. are hon. est, conscientious men. who have done their duty, fairly and impartial ly without fear or favor. The bona fde citizens of this Territory, ire. spective of politics. will hardly swal- low down this second dose of calum- ny which has been spread broadcast over the land, more particularly for the reason that the gentlemen whose honesty of purpose and integrity have been challenged. are men who have lived here for many years and have occupied positions of trust and confidence, when the doughty Col. onel(?) was airing his heels on some New Jersey hotel railing, waiting for some recruit to appear, or perhaps lying on one of the "bleak hill-sides of Cochise county with his Winches ter rife for his bride"0) while the duped victims of his Sonora mining schemes, were crying aloud for jus tee. Persons who occupy official positions by mistake should not be so blinded by partisan prejudices, that they so far forget themselves as Co cast uncalled and unwarranted as. persions upon honest citizens and the fair name of our Territory.
 The CHAMPION believes that all of. ficial positions in the gift of the pres cut administration should be filled by Democrats. but the genuine citizens uf Arizona ask that the exalted posi- ;iJn of Governor be filled by one who will not try, on every occasion when "ppor.unity offers, to belittle its peo- pie and inJare the credit and good name of Arizona.
