the complete story of his lie MS
autobiography, which has been edited
for him by S. NJ. Barrett, with full per-
mission and consent OF the war de-
partment, is about to be published IL
makes a long, weird and intensely In
teresting story, as will be noted by
portions reproduced here, says the
New York Herald.
Mr.. Barrett after gaining the conn
dence Of the old Apache, led him to
tell of his birth his early days and
his warfare on other Indians and pale
faces.
OF his battles with Miles and Crook,
of what he calls the injustice done TO
the Indian, the old savage writes;
Perhaps the greatest wrong ever
done to the Indians was the treat
ment received by our tribe from the
United States troops about 1863, The
chief of our tribe, Mangus Colorado,
went to make treaty Of peace for our
people with the white settlement at
Apache Tejo N. NJ. 1t had been re.
ported TO US that the white men in
this settlement were more friendly
and more reliable than those In Ari-
IONA, that they would live up to their
treaties and would not wrong the In
dams.
"Mangus Colorado, with three other
warriors, went to Apache Teio and
held a council with these citizens and
soldiers. They told him that II he
would come with his tribe and live
near them they would issue to him,
from the government, blankets, flour,
provisions, beef and all manner of
supplies. Our chief promised to re
turn to Apache Tejo within two weeks.
When he came back to our settlement
he assembled the whole tribe In coun
ell. | did not believe that the people
at Apache Tejo would do as they said
and therefore | opposed the plan, but
1t was decided that with part of the
tribe Mangus-C Colorado should return
TO Apache Tcjo and receive an issue
OF rations and supplies. II they were
as represented and If these white
men would keep the treaty faithfully,
the remainder Of the tribe would join
him and we would make our perma-
nent home at Apache Tejo. | was to
remain In charge of that portion of
the tribe which stayed In Arizona, We
gave almost all OF our arms and am
munition to the party going 10 Apache
Tejo, so that in case there should be
tleachery they would be prepared for
any surprise. MangusColorado and
about half of our people went to New
Mexico, happy that now they had
found white men who would be kind
TO them, and with whom they could
live in peace and plenty.
Claims Comrades Were Slain.
mo word ever came TO use from
them. From other sources, however
we heard that they had been trcachcr
ously captured and slain In this iii
lcmma we did not know Just exactly
what to do, but fearing that the troops
who had captured them would attack
us, We reiterated into the mountains
