Globe Trotter Unearths Weird and Not Overture
Tales Of the Savage Apaches Of the Southwest.

/ previous to the time the Arizona
command was forced to deal out death
10 the Apacbes- q Spanish company
was working the copper mines at the
foot OF the Santa Rita mountains in
New Mexico. The superintendent
was an Englishman named johnson,
who had been hired for his knowledge
Of deep mining. Supplies were
brought from Mexico, wei three hun
dred miles away, by pack train. and
the product returned In the same
way.
An Apache Is primarily a thief. In
those days he preferred 10 steal rath-
er than kin. but II detected in steal
ing he would rather kill than be kill
ed. The Apache never tortured the
white captiyes, but limited that kind
Of treatment to Indians taken In was.
Their part. ular enjoyment came In
Esfampeding a train Of pack mules.
This occurred a few times, and In
resisting a few muleteers were shot.
To end this Superintendent Johnson
summoned the chief men Of the tribes
their relatives and friends, to a grand
fiesta. at which q treaty was to be
arranged. q
The fiesta was advertised far and
wide by runners, and the Apaches
gathered 10 the number Of 1000.
There were representatives from the
Mescalleros. Coyoteres, Sierra Blan.
,as, Mongollones, Chiricakuse --a
Tontos.
johnson invited all to the feast be-
fore the treaty-making began, and
! 900 men. women and children hud-
died about the long rows OF barba-
cted meats. At the upper end Of the
line stood Johnson beside a pile Of
brush over which blankets had been
spread.

mines was lost To the world. and the

OF how the men at the mines had "a

only a pitiful few ever reached Mexi

on Indians,
For nearly 100 years Apaches har'
ried the border, and prosperous towns
md villages. fio~urishing fields, or,
chards and ranches were turned into
a deser waste. The hacienda Of
Muirivis alone had 10000 cattle. In
q short time all were IN the posses.
sion Of the Apaches. The men were
dead and women and girls captives.
This was the condition all along the
border south OF the Rio Grande.
The Mexican government at times
tried TO put a stop to the foraya.
but their troops could do nothing
against the will-o'the.wisp Apaches.
In 1912 the governor of the state OF
chihuahua engaged q company OF
Seminole and Delaware Indians. un.

named Mirker. 10 carry on a war of
determination against the ma
rauders. contracting to pay 5000
for the scalp Of each Apache warrior
and 500 for the scalp OF a squaw.
For several several years the war
went on until one day the Apache
proved more cunning. and only a few
NJ Mixers command succeeded In
crawling back to the settlements.
At the close OF the Mexican war
Jim ClantOn, at the head Of a COM
pany Of discharged soldiers and q
number OF renegades. offered the
same terms given Mirker and his
company. butchered whole villages Of
Apaches, frequently accomplishing
their designs under the guise Of
peaceful intentions. When there we're
Apaches convenient, Clanton's men
would kill peaceful Mexican Indians
and vaquis Indians and turn their
In as those Of Apaches'. The
reward was withdrawn and Clanton
and his band left for California, hav-
ing the temerity to pass through the
heart Of the Apache territory. A few
reached white settlements.
Then one day the 200 Apaches
bones have just been found
were caught in a cave and unmerci-
fully slaughtered.

LAPLAND BABIES.
For Their Ftrst Few Momths ThsS
Live In wicker Baskets.

Little Laplanders spend the first few
months Of their existence In baskets OF
wickerwork provided at the top with d

infant plenty Of light and air.
Before commencing her work for the
day the Lapp mother places her child
In the basket aud hangs 1t on the limb

found for the little o by stringlng
toys upon a clrd passed across the top
Of the basket.

and dangers Of outdoor child life In

the Indian idea Of strapping the pa
poose into 4 carrying case, but the
