GERONIMO IS DEAD
NOTED INDIAN CHIEF GOES TO
 HUNTING GROUND.
old Apache Leader, Ward of the Gov ernment, Bitter Against the White Man to The
 EmA.


 Lawton. Ok. Feb. 17.--Geronimo, the noted Indian chief, died today at Fort Sill, where he had been confined as a prisoner of war for a number of years
 It is a curious coincidence that news of Geronimos death was sent out from Lawton, which was named after the late Henry w. Lawton, the famous general, who as a member of MileHa command, led the 5000 mile. chase that resulted in the chiefs surrender.
 The chase after Geronimo was begun in Omaha in January 1885, General Miles, in command of the Department of the Missouri. received instructions to rOut the band of Indians headed by Geronimo and kill or capture it's chief and began operations by organizing an expedition consisting of the End, 9th and Sth Infantry and the 4th, 9th, 9th and 8th Cavalry, the horsemen being in charge of Henry W. Lawton, then lieutenant.
 The expedition was gotten under way in January, 1885, and the cap ture of Geronimo and his band was finally made nearly two years later. Since he has been confined at Fort Sill, Geronimo has made many attempts to gain liberty Early in 1908, Geron- imo made a trip to Washington with a number of his followers in an effort to interest President Roosevelt In his case. The old Indian was unsuccess- fuI, however, and to the last Geronimo has been full of bitter hatred for the white man.
 At the time of his death Geronimo was s6 years old.
