Geronimo, Last Of the Bad Indians

In old Geronimo died the last of the
bad Indians. Successor Of the famous
chiefs Mangus Colorow, Cochise and
Natchez, he did more than his full
share in earning for the Chiricahua
Apaches, few as they were in num-
bers. the reputation of being the most
cruel and bloodthirtsy tribe of Indians
the white man encounted on the con-
tinent during the last century. Toward
toe last there were only about 800 of
them, men, women and children, but
the final remnant under Geronimo gave
the army one of the hardest campaigns
in its entire experience on the frontier.
The Territory of Arizona placed re-
ward Of 81, 900 a head on every one of
Geronimo's band brought in dead.
Between 1856 and 1860 AIS whites,
half the American population of
Arizona at that time, were killed by
the Chiricahuas, and in 1859 and 1870
they killed I76 more. During Geroni-
mos last raid in 1885 and 1886, after
one of his many surrenders and an es-
cape into Mexico, he and mis- band kill
ed seventy-slx white men, women and
children. 1t was then that the Gov
eminent finally concluded to catch and
keep him, and American troopers were
permit ed to follow him into the noun
tains of Sonora, over the Mexican bor-
der.
| Credit for the final CAPTURE of Geron-
imo has been given to various officers,
including Gems. Miles and Lawton. 1t
actually belongs to Lieut.. Gatewoed,
OF the Sitxh Cavalry, who with small
detachment overlook Geronimo and
brought him into camp. Gatewood
later retired from the army and lived
lin Denver, but even in thc army prop
er recognition has seldom been accord
ed to him for his success in bringing
the long chase to an end.
From that day to his death at Fort
Still the Apache was a prisoner of the
Government. Much foolish sentiment
at times was wasted on him. The
showmen tried to use him. 1t is said
that he "got religion" in his old age.
Always as a captive he hoped to re-
turn 10 his native mountains in Arizona,
but his bad name prevented it. But
there was something very touching in
his words uttered years ago as he stood
pointing to the West: The sun rises
and shines for time, and then it goes
down. sinking out of sight, and is lost.
So it win be with the Indian. When
was a BOY my father told me that the
Indians were as many as the leaves on
the trees, and that way off in the
North they had many horses and furs.
[ never saw them, but know now that
if they were there they have gone and
the white men has taken all they had.
It will be only a few years more when
the Indians will be heard of no more
exceptin the books the white man
writes.
