Policeman Flynn scratched his head.
He wasn't sure that the ordinance was

About the middle of the afternoon of

him how I had been wronged and I
wanted to return to the United States
with my people, as we wished to see
our families, who had been captured
and taken away from us. Gen. Miles
said to me: The president of the
United States has sent me to speak to
you. He has heard of your trouble
with the white men, and says that II
you will agree to few words of treaty

words of treaty all will be satfsfac-

'Then he talked with me for a long
time and told me what he would do
for me in the future if I would agree
to the treaty. I did not hardly believe
Gen. Miles, but because the president
of the United States had sent me word
I agreed to make the treaty and to
keep it. Then asked Gen. Miles what
the treaty would be. Gen. Miles said
to me: T will take you under govern
ment protection. I will build you
house. + will fence you much land.
will give you cattle, horses, mules
and farming implements. You will be
furnished with men to work the farm,
for you yourself will not have to work.
In the fall I will send you blankets
and clothing. so that you will not SUI

""There is plenty of timber, water
and grass in the land to which will
send you. You will live with your
tribe and with your family. If you
agree to this treaty you shall see your
family within five days.

greatly for water. At one tine we

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 a 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.

Contrary to our expectations the

POLITICS MAY SPLIT LABOR LEADERS

Officials Of the American Federation of Lab.r
believe that after election distinct breach will
be opened between President Samuel Gompers
and John MITCHELL president Of the United Mine
Workers, and vice president of the Federation
Friction between sthem that will develop into
breach Is regarded as inevitable for the reason
that Gompers is jealous of the growth of Mitchell
as political factor. Mitchell adheres to the
Roosevelt school Of politics, while Gompers is
with the other faction.
There is no question among neutral mem
bers OF the official body of the Federation but
that Gompers activity in this campaign is due to
the fact that Mitchell made success of his fight
In behalf of Roosevelt. MitchelPs prominence in
