washington, December H. General
Lawton's death was great shock to the
officers of the war department, to nearly
all of whom he was known personally
Hitherto his luck in battle has been mar
yelous. He had been in hundreds OF
skirmishes and midnight attacks. lie was
regarded as man OF action and OF spieh-
aid courage. but was not considered reek-
less. He never exposed his men without
due consideration of the risks and the
stake. His men knew this and unheSital-
ingly would follow his lead under what
seemed to be the most desperate cpndl-
tions. The Indians came to KNOW nun as
the most active, yigilant and wary ana
determined of foes. and his pursuit. an
capture OF Geronimo. the famous Apache
chieftain, has gone down INTO history 40

ever undertaken with the small iorcc III
