is short, stocky, full-blooded Apache.
He is Wiry and bold and has never had
an hours education in any government
or private school, He never went out
of Arizona until he became an outlaw
and never dressed in any garb of civili-
cation except the cast-off clothing of
people in Phoenix and Mesa, who took
an interest in the lad some twelve or
! thirteen years ago, when he was the
best arrow and rife shot on the San
| Carlos reservation
! He is remembered by some of the
nCn-commissioned officers in the Unit

| participant in the campaign against
| Geronimo, When he was sergeant Of
Indian scouts under Crook, and those
| who believe that the scouts didn't fool
| Crook may also believe that Sergeant
| Kid rendered valuable service in that
/ campaign. He is skillful in Indian
| warfare, which is bushwhacking: a
DEAD shot at short range, like most
| Apaches; brave anywhere except in
| the open and in the dark, where all

and friends If he did not fulfill the

wickedness of his purpose.
No one among the older soldiers in
Indian campaigns who knew the cir

was surprised that Kid escaped from
the troops one night and soon shot

June Kid came back, and, being put

E. Pierce's tent. Immediately there

Amid the confusion Kid recovered his

Kid and four other scouts were court
