REVOLT|NG CIRCUMSTANCES
The Capture of the Brute and
the Spiriting of Him Away
From Mesa as "a Precaution
Against the Rising Indigna-
ton of Citizens.

Mesa was thrown into a state of eX-
citement yesterday evening by the
story of a murderous assault upon a
little daughter of Elijah Allen of Lehi,
with intent to commit rape. The as
sailant of the little girl was an Apache
Indian, known as Sidney Smith or Ed
Hanson The outrage was committed
four miles north of Mesa, in the road
near the residence of Mr. Allen
The child, only eighteen months old,
was playing in the road near the house
with two older sisters, both small chill
dren. The Indian who had been drink
ing, came along and took the little
girl on his lap and drew a knife with
which he badly mutilated her. Her
screams attracted the attention of her
mother who came running TO the scene.
At her approach the Indian threw the
fainting child into a dry irrigating
ditch and ran away.
An alarm was given by the distract
ed mother. About that time a Pima
Indian came along in a wagon and he
set out in search of the Apache He
followed him to the reservation north
of Mesa and with the assistance of the
agent there captured him.
The Apache was brought to Mesa
about eight o'clock. His captors had
tied his hands together so tight with a
small rope 1at the flesh of his wrists
overl Tapped the rope. completely hid
ing it. Marshal Hi Peterson took
charge of the prisoner and loosening
his hands put him into jail
At this time the story of the crime
was not generally known but it began
to spread quickly and there was some
ugly talk. There was lack of organ
ization however. but the authorities did
not know how soon a leader might
spring up and it was resolved to take
no chances. The Jail at Mesa would
not Withstand a vigorous assault
The prisoner was spirited out and
turned over to Officer W A Burton,
who guarded him through the night
with Winchester, the impression be-
ing spread that the Indian had been
brought TO Phoenix. Before the Apache
was taken out of Jail he spoke calmly
of his crime, offering an unreasonable
explanation of the affair thereby prov
ing that there has been no case of mis-
taken identity
Word received at Mesa late at night
from the Allen residence said that the
child was still bleeding profusely and
that her condition was exceedingly
precarious.
