Why Gen. Crook Omit.

When Crook started after Geronimo
in the '70s, he took only small force
of soldiers, but large force of Indian
scouts. When he got down to Sonora,
Mexico, to where Geronimo had re-
treated, these scouts turned traitors.
They threw away the provisions, filled
up all the water holes they came across,
and in other ways heightened the hard
ships Of the campaign. On account Of
all this, when the men finally overlook
Geronimo they were half starved and
nearly famished. Crook saw this, says
the Phoenix (Ariz.) Gazette, and SO did
Geronimo, for the scouts had told him.
It's all right to curse Geronimo, but the
man who knows anything about him
will deny that he was shrewd, clever
scoundrel. He was quick to take in the
situation, and after surrounding
Crooks small force, told the general he
would either have to make terms or be
annihilated. Crook. under these cir
cumstances, decided to make terms,
and. according TO the dictation Of Gero-
nimo, promised. as a United States SOL
der and a gentleman, not to make war
upon the Indians any more. Crook,
thinking of his men, and not of him

think of himself very much, made the

story is that in the early days Of the

in Missouri took about 400 union pris-

by the confederate officers. Upon hear
