HE CAPTURED GERONIMO.

Medicine Vender who Is Now in Dawson
Caught the OId Indian Chief.
The man who captured Geronimo. the
old Indian chief who caused so much
trouble in the west several years ago
and was given an honorable discharge
from the army for his daring and brav-
cry is in Cawson. His name is Dr.. al
A. Mills, and he has been selling medi.
cine from a two-horsc wagon Oh the
streets of dawson several days.
After the battle at Wounded Knee,
in which Geronim and his braves killed
all but six of the United States soldiers
engaged in the fight, the old chief was
galloping through the hospital camp on
his swift steed when Surgeon Mills shot
the horse from under him and effected
his capture after hard struggle.
For his heroism SGrgeon Mills was
given an honorable discharge from the
army and placed on the pension roll,
and he is, perhaps, the youngest man
who draws pension from the goyetn-
ment.
Mr.. Mills had several years of army
experience, and tells many interesting
stories OF adventure in the far west.
