ether Apache boy, and the only atten-
tlon he attracted during the first Is
years of his life was because of his
wonderful prowess with bow and ar
row and with the rifle. When he was
1S years old he could outshoot any In
dian on the reservation, and he was
frequently called up to show his skill
before distinguished visitors. When
he grew up he naturally went into the
scouts, and behaved himself; that is,
he helped the whites hunt his people to
death whenever he was so commanded
by Chief of Scouts Al Sieber. The
Kid rose to be sergeant of scouts. In
1888 a Pima Indian killed the Kids
grandfather, and he asked his chief for
leave Of absence long enough to kill
the Pima. A refusal to permit this de-
parture was as If a business man should
refuse an employee days leave to at
tend his mothers funeral Sieber made
the request the text for sermon on the
wrongfulness of killing, even though
ten centuries of ancestors commanded
that it be done, and refused the request.
Apache Kid went off without leave,
taking the scouts of his squad with
him, killed the Pima and reported back
for duty. He was arrested, but es-
capped the same night, and with few
Indians started for old Mexico. In the
Gealluro Mountains the fugitives came
upon two prospectors digging on
claim. The Indians crept to the mouth
of the shaft where the white men were
digging and shot them. But the SOL
diers were close behind them They
were cut off from old Mexico, and,
doubling on their trail, came back to
the reservation, where they were again
arrested. Several of the band were
hanged for murder, but Kid and four
others were court martialed and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment in the military
prison on Alcatraz Island, in San Frau
cisco Bay. Kid during his journey
through California got clear idea ~

{ DEATH OF THE APACHE KID.
1 The Worst Indian on All the Frontier.


They believe en- the frontier that
Apache Kid is dead.
1t is over year now since the bloody
body of murdered man or mangled wo-
man brought dread word to the world
of his activity, and no such period has
elapsed before since Kid and his fellow
murderers on their way to execution
slew their guards and escaped to the
mountains, and that was decade ago.
The frontier has reason to pray that
the tale of his death is true. For years
he has been terrifying ghost in the
mountains and on the plains of South
ern Arizona and Northern Mexico. His
business has been murder, his sport
assassination. The armies of two
great countries have warred with him,
and the graves of those who were sent
against him are as plenty as the graves
OF those he has slain while they slept
or while they Travelled unconscious of
his nearness. His life has been that of
a tiger, not Of a man. During years
there has been hardly a day when he
was not the dangerous quarry for
which men hunted. A price was put
upon his head and man-hunters from
civil life left their vocations to try and
win the 81 900 that was bid for his life
Civil officers and soldiers-he hates
them all. And neither the men in uni
form nor the men in plain clothes have
ever been able to capture or kill him.
Waile they brought his brothers to fol-
lSW his trail over desert he murdered
behind them. When they sought him
there they heard of him twenty leagues
away, shooting a teamster from am
bush beside the road, Draining a child
that had wandered from a ranch house,
custing the throat of woman who was
alone in cabin. Nobody knows how
many lives he took. The pigeon holes
of the war department hold the musty
vouchers for hundreds of thousands Of
dollars spent in the vain attempt to-
sisy this specter Of the desert On tho
other side of the Rio Grande, the Mex
leans have the same sort of story OF
failure told by archives and military
reports. In his war with two great
nations Apache Kid stands victor. The
reason for the belief in the death Of
Apache Kid is the report of two pros
reeters, Burnett and BonsaH, who
found the cave in the Superstition
Mountains that sheltered him during
some of his disappearance. Several
times the soldiers pressed him close in
the Superstition Mountains, but there
always came time when no more foot
prints could be found, and the soldiers
had to return to their posts with the
usual tale of unsuccess. The prospect

the coming of the man wolf who

story Of the life Of this human tiger.
With his fellow prisoners, a band OF
cut-throats under a devils leadership,
they raided back and forth across the
Mexican frontier, killing men and tor
turing women, while the soldiers and
volunteer corps of hundred cow
boys chased the band until htlr horlyes
dropped under them. Others took up
the hunt, and ultimately pressed the
Indians so closely that they had to
scatter. Most Of them drifted back to
the reservation. but Kid never came
In.
Two years after his break he swooped
down on the outskirts of the reserva-
ton and carried on young squaw. He
kept her in the mountain with him,
and she saw the awful wreaking of hate
for two years, when she escaped and
returned to the reservation.
Since that time he has stolen several
women, sometimes killing the bucks
to whom they belonged; but no other
squaw has ever returned. Whenever
the Kid wanted new woman he killed
the one he had with him.

MARION COUNTY COURT.

Other Notes.

Changes to Be MADE at Court House
Other Notes.
At the session Of Marion county
court Thursday afternoon, Gray *
Pugh Of this city were awarded con-
tract for making some changes in the
court house. Their bid was sl,034.55.
Work will begin Immediately and will
be completed by June. A brief out
line Of the proposed change is as
follows:
The presentstairway leading up from
the main or west entrance will be torn
away and the doors now opening into
the clerks and sheriffis offices will be
50 changed that entrance to either Of
these departments will be gained from
a yestibule 6xl4 feet, which will be
built just within the west entrance. BY
this means the lobby Of the clerks Of
fee will be situated just opposite to its
present place, thus giving that official
and his deputies more comfortable
quarters and easier access TO the vault,
Double-acting doors will admit the
public from the yestibule into the main
corridor thence to the stairs On either
side, which will bebin just where the
present doors to the clerks and sher-
IFS offices are. These stairs will lead
up to a platform over the yestibule,
thence up a wide fight TO the COM
modious lobby just outside the cir
cult court room doors. The door into
the assessors department will be
stationed in the southeast corner Of
that roem and will be open off the
lobby almost Immediately to the left
OF the circuit court room entrance.
Opposite to this. on the south side
will be the door opening into the
grand jury room and one TO the sur
yeyor's office. The latter room will
be considerably increased in size by
reason of the doing away with the one
which now connects the grand jury
room with the main corridor on that
floor Of the building.
