pardoned their offenses ana reinstated
as good Indians at Fort Apache.
Eayes hid out in the brush and some
OF his supposed friends reported his
whereabouts to the agent, who told
them to bring him in. Two young
bucks went to Sayes' hiding place,
without arms, under pretense of taking
food to him. Sayes, although shot
through the body and one wrist. stepped
out with his rifle in hand. When he
reached out for the dish OF food handed
TO him, the food bearer sprang upon him
and bore him to the ground, and the
other buck assisted In securing him.
Sayes was brought in, tried and sent to
Yuma prison.
Big John was San Carlos scout. He
committed some offense and was con-
fined in the guardhouse and disgraced.
A few days after Big John was released
the interpreter told Captain Bulls that
one of the eight renegades was at Big
Johns cabin, ard Big John wanted to
know what he should do.
"Tell John to catch him; he's big
enough. II he can't catch him, kill
him."
The interpreter, young lad, went
back to Big Johns and a plan was laid.
The boy was to get between the guest
and his gun. and at signal from John
was to secure the weapon. John would
do the arrest. The programme was car
ried out. The boy seized the gun and
John jumped upon the renegade with
big knife and stabbed him 20 times.
Late that night somebody knocked at
the agents door. Captain Bulls leaped
from his cot, stood between the door
and window, out of range, and hailed.
The voice of the interpreter answered
the hail and the captain opened the
door. In stepped the lad and Big John,
the latter spattered all over with blood.
Big John stood silently fumbling in his
ecanty clothing, while the blood trickled
from wounds on his face and battered
a roll of cloth, and slowly unwinding it,
showed two bloody human ears. They
were the ears OF the renegade and Big
Johns potent plea for restoration to his
place in the scouts.
THE TIswfN WAS TOO coon.
One day the agent learned that "San
Carlos j. 35"-Apaches are mostly
known by their tags-was making tis-
win up in the mountains, and he sent
scout up there to close the distillery and
bring in the moonshiner. The scout
found San Carlos J. So making some
thing, and, to make sure that it WAS tls-
win, he tasted it. 1t was tiswin, sure
enough, and the scout and j. 80 got
drunk together. At certain stage Of
the jag the scout recolected his errand
and attempted to arrest J. So. They
had fight and fred several shots, but
were too drunk to shoot straight, and J.
"a That OF
ter for j. 35, who thoroughly understood
the disadvantages OF being q renegade,
but was afraid to come in.
Not long afterward an Indian reported
to the agent that San Carlos j. 35 WAS
down in the brush and wanted to see
him, but was afraid TO come in.
''Iell him to come in" eaid the cap
tain, and in few minutes j. So etood
before him, unwinding dirty rag. The
rag contained an ear. and ]. 80 said it
belonged to renegade who had come
into his camp for food and shelter and
whom he had killed. He hoped to be
forgiven for making tiswin and shooting
at the acosts-slThe body of the renegade
was brought in and identified ss one uf
Kids band, and San Carlos J. So was
forgiven.
Another of the original band was San
Carlos b. 0. He had been wounded in
the leg and the wound did not heal. B.
travelled with Kid and Sayes when the
band scattered. and was with them in
Old Mexico. Kid did not like B. 8 ''too
plenty" and the fellows bad leg i'm
peded the progress of the gang. One
day B. 8 stopped over stream to drink
and Kid shot him in the back and killed
him. So says Sayes.
Another OF the gang was killed by
Mexican soldiers In a skirmish with
raiders in Sonora. They found upon
him Sheriff Reynolds gold watch, in
which WAS an inscription showing that
it had been given to the sheriff by
friends in Arizona. The watch was sent
to Washington by the Mexican authori-
ties, and finally was returned to the
sheriff's widow.
San Carlos B. go, the seventh of the
band, surrendered to Chief Antonio and
was tried and sent to Yuma for IL years.
A DESPERATE CHARACTER.
That cleans up the whole gang except
Kid, and he is wandering somewhere
along the border, killing people once in
a while, and getting credit for a whole
lot of deviltry that white men and Mexi-
canB are guilty of. He has few COM
panions, the fate OF the rest of the band
having made him wary of consorting
with his own people too freely, and
keeps out of the way of the troops that
periodically 90 out to hunt him. Kid
is not raiding for fun. He is O fugitive
with price on his head. and he will
kill rather than take chances OF being
caught. He has use for cartridges, pro-
visions, money and sometimes for
horses. and he takes what be wants. If
the man who has what he wants is
likely to object to giving it up, Kid will
kill him without doubt.
Not long ago Kid was on the Animas
ranch, in the southern part OF New
Mexico. He was getting away from
troops at the time. Dean Duke, super
intendent of the Diamond A outfit,
drove a fine team right past Kids am
push, but was not moested. An hour
later one of Dukes cowboys. who was
hunting deer, had the bad luck to get
in Kids way in such a manner that Kid
could not avoid meeting him and Kid
shot the cowboy.
HAS FoNDNEss FOR GOOD HORSES.
Kid steals Diamond A horses when he
wants mount, but the horses generally
come home again after while, and
usually pretty well worn out. Half the
