There seems to be considerable evil
dence supporting this belief. The
Pimas on occasions have even boosted
of their soldier leaders on this
particular raid.
The two playmates were now both
captives; but their destinies were
vastly different. The Pimas soon
sold Wassaja to Charles Gentle. a
venturesome pioneer of the photo
graphing art among the tepees of the
Southwestern Indians; and the In
dian captive was transported to the
white civilization of the East. where
he grew up in the companionship
of white children and received with
them the same advantages in educa-
ton. No such good fortune came to
the red headed Hoosier captive. Like
their enemies the Pimas, the Pinal
Apaches bartered their captives if

but not with children of the white race These
were usually massacred, together with the men and
women. They had spared the Irish boy because of
his har and it also his hair that afterward
kept Mlckyfee their captive.
SO while Wassaj ia growing up in white man s
ways and habits, Mickyfee was taking on all the
aboriginal ways of the Pinal Apaches Through
score of years Wassaja assmilated civiliza-
then had some more years of rubbing up against
the world in his chosen profession. Finally thirty
hve years had elapsed. and he had now become all

He abhorred the slack ways proverbial among the
Indians, and unlike many educated Indians had no
wish to return to the ways of his But deep in
his heart he longed for glimpse of his people This
longing grew into something akin to Inconsistencies
until finally he made visit to Superstition Mountain.

OF his race SO when he turned up in the person of
Chicago, there was no end of rejoicing and feast

feast in his honor although he then learned that his
father and mother were both dead; yet placed no
captive too young to have any clear recollection of
them But there was one at this feast making who
was as good ghost to the guest of honor A tall

city of Indiana. and was Irish in looks and Irish in
parentage. These two became playmates in 1871,
following raid of the Pinal Apaches on camp of
miners in Sonora, Mexico AS was the custom of
these wild mountain Apaches, they massacred all
in the camp excepting this youngster Mickyfee
then about eight years old. Mickyfee blessed
with wonderful shock of red hair Such hair was
curiosity to these Indians who had seen little else
than the straight, stringy black of their own race
and Mlckyfee was regarded much in the way
that the Indians regarded an insane person:
thing to be spared the wrath of the Great Spirit
would descend upon the tribe.
So Mlckyfee with his carroty hair taken into
the camp of the Apaches and treated as a child of
the tribe But he also considered part of the
spos of the raid. and as was their custom after
successful one, the Indians drew lots upon their
return to the village Superstition Mountain
Mickyfee became the spos of Wassaja's father, who
in turn made him to his son. then a child
of only four years. This transfer made them play
mates, Wassaja the captor, and Mickyfee, the
Hoosier Irish boy, the captive. Wassaja was too
young to appreciate the powers of captor, and
Mickyfee, blessed with sunny disposition as his
hair red. made the best of the situation cap
tive and joined in the primitive childish play as
though born to it.
