GERONIMO RAN AWAY
TO TAKE WARPATH
Old Apache Chief Took Religion as q
Blind, Lost a Wife and
Got Drunk.

CACHE. I. T., July 9.-The old Apache
warrior Geronimo, who terrorlzed the
Southwest for many years with his blood
thirsty band. while attending a celebra-
ton at Cache under parole, as the guest
Of Comanche Chief Quanah Parker. made
an attempt to escape across the Texas
Panhandle into New Mexico. He was
missed from the indian camp for about
eight hours and a detail of soldiers from
Fort Sill captured him several miles out
of Cache yesterday.
The old warrior had heard of the trou-
bles OF the Apaches In Arizona who. ac-
cording to reports haye threatened to go
en- the warpath. The chief says he want
ed to go with his people and help
them fight. He has been having
family troubles lately. his eighth wife
having left him. Recently he drank liquor
to excess and lay out on the reservation
all night. This incensed the church-going
people, as they expected interesting SER
mons from Geronimo himself during the
revival services they had arranged.
Geronimo recently Joined the Dutch Re-
formed Church. to which President Roose-
welt belongs, in the hope, 1t is said, of
obtaining a pardon.
