said: I never gave any such orders;
the troops at Fort Apache, who spread
this report, knew that it was untrue
Then I agreed to go back with him to
San Carlos.
1T was hard for me to believe him
at that time. Now I know that what
he said was untrue, and 1 firmly be-

me to be put in prison or to be killed
in case I offered resistance,
1--WE started with all our tribe to go
with Gen. Crook back to the United
States, but feared treachery and con-
cluded to remain in Mexico. We were
not under any guard at this time.
The United States troops marched in
front and the Indians followed, and
when we became suspicious we turned
back. 1 do not know how far the
United States army went after myself
and some warriors turned back before
we were missed, and do not care.
Capt. Lawton in the Field.
"Soon Gen. Miles was made COM
mander of all the western posts, and
troops trailed us continually. They
were led by Capt. Lawton, who had
good scouts. The Mexican soldiers
also became more active and more
numerous. We had skirmishes almost
dow fro111y
to break up into small bands. With
six men and four women I made for
the range of mountains near Hot
Springs, New Mexico. We passed
many cattle ranches, but had no trou-
bic with the cowboys. We killed cat
tie to eat whenever we were in need
of food, but we frequently suffered
greatly for water. At one tine we
had no water for two days and nights
and our horses almost died from thirst.
We ranged in the mountains of New
Mexico for some time; then, think
ing that perhaps the troops had left
Mexico, we returned. On our return
through Old Mexico we attacked every
Mexican found, even if for no other
reason than to kill. We believed they
had asked the United States troops to
come to Mexico to fight us.
"South of Casa Grande, near place
called by the Indians Gosoda, there
was road leading out from the town.
There was much freighting carried on
by the Mexicans over this road.
Where the road ran through a noun
tain pass we stayed in hiding, and
whenever Mexican freighters passed
we killed them, took what supplies
we wanted and destroyed the remand
er. We were reckless of our lives,

was against us. If we returned to the
reservation we would be put in prison
and killed; if we stayed in Mex

diers to fight us; so we gave no quar-

after some time we left Gosoda
and soon were reunited with our tribe

skirmishIng Every Day.
Contrary to our expectations the
United States soldiers had not left
the mountains in Mexico, and were
soon trailing us and skirmishing with
us almost every day., Four or five
times they surprised our camp, One
time they surprised us about nine
o'clock in the morning, captured all
our horses (19 in number) and dssecured
our store of dried meats. ", We also
lost three Indians IN this encounter.
About the middle of the afternoon Of
the same day We attacked them from
the rear as they were passing through
a prairie-killed one soldier, but lost
none ourselves. In this skirmish we
recovered all our horses except three
that belonged to me- The three horses
that we did not recover were the best
riding horses we had.
"Soon after this scouts from Capt
Lawton's troops told us that he wished
to make treaty with us: but knew

on the blanket before us. Our treaty
was made by this stone, and it was
to last till the stone should crumble
to dust; so we made the treaty, and
bound each other with an oath.

violated that treaty, but Gen. Miles
never fulfilled his promises.
when we had made the treaty
Gen. Miles said to me: MY brother,

of war; want you to put that out of

"Then agreed and gave up my arms.
I said: L will quit the warpath and
