Indian outlaw whose name has fas-

| The person who thus terrorizes ms
wild -egion. where ordinary crimes
pass current, is renegade Apache In
dian, with all the devilish inge1ulty
of thai fendish race. His Indian Jane
is Es-ki-bi-Nadel, and he is und, 81
years of age. He was educated az the
Hampton Indian school, from viii ne

white men could repress the sak agery
of his nature, and he melted an out

This ofranse was nromntlv aished
by the arrest Of the Kid and oI
his followers. On the I'd of n
1889, while they we're be Zig CON- ted.
to Jail in a stage coach by the sh efK
and his posse, they broke their bonds
near Riverside, A. T., killed the sheritfs
and escaped to the Sierra Madre noun
tains, in the province of Sonora, Mex,
Just over the line from Arizona and
New MeXico.
That was the beginning of a career
Of crime that has no parallel in Indian
atrocity Secure in these arid noun
tains, whose every approach is guard
ed by u barrier of nature formidable
and awful, with trackless mazes of
desert sand hills, and having Only at
great distances water holes and
patches of cultivation-here the Kids
band has been constantly increased by
disaffected Indians from the reserva-
tons and from Mexico. They have
raided the border and penetrated far
into the interior, leaving trail of
blood behind them. They are even
now destroying the homes of ranch
men, waylaying travellers along the
desert roads, ambushing gold seekers
in the arid hills, picking off cowboys
on their lonely ranges, stealing into

plundering and killing the sleeping in
habitants, until hundreds of people
have met death by the hand of the
Apache Kid and his band during the
past four years.
Though reward of $4,000 by the
governor of Arizona and $4,000 by the
governor Of New Mexico have been
placed upon his head and repeated ex-
petitions of government troops have
been sent out for his capture, he has
thus far eluded pun suit, ranging over
vast extent of country, comprising
thousands of square miles, where no
white an can follow for lack of water.
The Kid does not by any means con-
fine himself to forays and murderous
outrages. He has a passion for steal
ing girls for wives. His first achieve
ment in this line was the capture of
Jo-ash ay, an Apache maiden, whom
he took from the door of her wickiup
on the San Carlos reservation in Sep
TENDER, 1890. He next secured the
mild-faced Natheth-lay, who was but
10 years old. He came upon the girl
and her mother at Cibicu crossing of
the Salt river on the reservation, May
II, 1892. He killed the mother and
made captive the daughter, but re-
leased her shortly after and she re-
turned to the reservation. His third
victim was Nahtah go-yah, the daugh-
ter of Indian Scout Jack Long. She
was forcibly taken by the Kid from the
reservation October 25, 1892. While
he was engaged in this abduction his
first wife, Jo-ash-ay, escaped from his
camp and made her way to the reser-
walton clone. She has since acted as
guide for the troops in pursuit of the
Kid. II was through her that Jack
Long effected the rescue of his daug-
ter.
The most notable expedition hither-
to led against the Kid was in 1892 by
Lieut.. Williams of Fort Whipple, near
Prescott, Arizona. He took detach-
mcnt ard IS Apache scouts, keen-scent-
ed as bloodhounds. They struck the
trail of the Kid and followed him for
weeks, sometimes camping in the
evening where he had camped the pre-
vious night, till the trail led farther
and farther into the arid region on the
south, where they were compelled to
abandon their quest, not being per-
mitted to cross the Mexican border
into the Businesses where he sought
refuge. Boston Traveller.
