TAKING GERONIMO
GEN. MILES TELLS HOW FAMOUS
INDIAN CHIEF WAS CAPTURED. /.

Five Months.

Washington.-Gen. Nelson A. Miles.
who captured Geronimo, the famous
Indian chief who died the other day.
after perhaps the most remarkable
Indian campaign ever waged, gave a
personal narrative of that campaign
on hearing of the passing of the noted
warrior. The general expressed a
good deal of affection for the resource
full aborigine.
In our campaign to capture Gero.
nfmo and his band, we pursued exactly
the tactics we used to employ in cap
turing wild horses on the plains. You
know a wild horse will not wander
more than Is or 20 miles from where
he was foaled. The hunters, knowing
this, divide themselves into parties
and patrol the range where a band OF
horses are found. No company of men
or horses could ride down a bunch of
mustanges. So it is arranged that one
party shall drive them till the horses
are exhausted and then another party
shall take up the chase, then another.
and so on, till the mustangs are worn
down and can be overtaken and
laSSoed.
THAT was the way with Geronimo
and his band. / divided the territory
into districts, placing a small, per-
fectly equipped party of troops in each
district. Communication by heliograph
was maintained among the parties
When the Indians were driven from
one district, the force in the territory
they entered was notified and took up
the chase; and so on. The result was
that though they kept us moving five
months and covered all Arizona and
went as far as 200 miles into Mexico,

yet did not offer the order for his re-
lease. They waited in little reception
room while guard brought out a sui
len-looking individual whose face
seemed to wear a perpetual scowl.

cheerful reply to Danny's proposition

You must like it here, and l guess

ply. But my friend here is willing
to buy, so I've fixed your fine and now
you can come back to town with u.s."
Ten beautifully engraved and sealed
stock certificates that were a work of
the printers and engravers' combined

when Rowley Simpson had counted

Hurrying back to his office, Rowley
parted company with Danny Roberts,
telling him to come to him on the
morrow and receive his share of the
proceeds of the deal. Mr.. Simpson

dictated short note to the Eclipse

messenger returned with letter and
the package of stocks. Mr.. Rowley
Simpson read:

as he noted the smiles of his fellow

Wont old Simpson try to get his
$4,000 back?" inquired Danny Rob
erts, addressing his question to Floyd.
Il scarcely think so.' was the reply.
You see he got what he paid for. No
one mentioned the word copper to
him. I've heard of one little comma
making a whole lot of difference in a
court document. In this case we have

Still. / don't think I'd better go

Danny.

we gave them no rest; and at last, like
the mustangs, they gave up in despair
and came in and surrendered.
Capt. Leonard Wood, who has since
| as general achieved such renown in
the Philippines and as governor OF
| Cuba, is deserving of most of the
credit for the capture of Geronimo's
band. 1t was he who effected the sur
prise of the camp of Geronimo and
Natchez, on July Is, 1887, which event
ually led to the surrender Capt. Law
ton is also entitled to praise for the
persistence with which he and his men
followed the Apaches and the di-
plomacy with which he arranged for
Geronimo's surrender It was he who
told me that Geronimo would sur
render only to me. l informed him
that did not want to go down to his
camp at Skeleton canyon and meet
Geronimo unless the Indians gave me
some assurance of their purpose to
surrender. / stated to him that the
best thing for them to do was to send
some hostage as a guarantee of their
intention. On receiving this message,
Geronimo sent his own brother to Fort
Bowie to remain there as a hostage.
Capt. Lawton informed me that this
hostage had started, so in considera-
ton OF this fact, and in compliance
with Lawton's earnest appeal, made
arrangements to start for his camp on
September 2.
Il must confess that 1 went with
some forebodings, though / still had
hope that the promises of Geronimo
would be fulfilled. We reached the
camp of Capt. Lawton, at Skeleton
canyon, on the evening of September
3, and soon Geronimo rode in and dis
mounted He was one of the bright
est, most resolute, determined look
ing men that have ever encountered
He had the clearest, sharpest dark eve
think l have even seen, unless it was
that of Gen. Sherman when he was at
the prime of life.
Il told Geronimo that 1 could mt
tell positively what their future would
be, but that one thing was positive.
He must do whatever he was directed
to do. He assented to this and said
he would bring his camp in early the
following morning. But Natchez who
was younger man and the hereditarv
chief OF the Apaches remained out.
Il then showed Geronimo the hello
stat and asked the operator to one,
communication with Fort Bowie. 6s
miles away. Geronimo said: If WOW
can talk with Fort Bowie, do this.

guarantee OF my good faith. Now tell
me If my brother is all right
In short time the answer came
back that Geronimo's brother wac

awe and he at once sent a warrior "a

which he could not understand. and
to come in and come quick. In a few
hours Natchez came riding down from
the mountains with the band"

I'm telling you because l happen to
know where there is $4,000 shares OF
| Eclipse stock in one block and Mehanty
is trying his hardest to locate the man
that's got it. The man that owns ii
Is the fellow who originally located
the claim. He's a drunken western
miner and sold out to Mehanty and
his friends for $1,000 cash and this
50,OOO-share block of stock. He's been
on a six months jag, spent all of his
ready money and doesn't think his
stock would bring ten-dollar note"
He's where he can't get away from
us, but before tell you where that is,
you must agree to. put up the money
to buy his stock and agree to give me
one-third of the profits"
And what will the profits amount
to? What have we got to pay for the
stock?"
We'll, I'm afraid he'll make us pay
pretty stiff price now. He's as stub
born as mule and l foolishly went to
see him and asked him what he would
take to sell out. He was sharp enough
to scent that there might be some
thing doing and insisted on having
$4,000 for it. He even threatened to
break my head when I made him an
offer of $4,000"
If you are sure of being able to
land the stock for 200 and turning
1t quick at so cents a share, that would
be $4,000, and profit of $4,000
wouldn't be a bad days work, eh?"
unused Simpson.
Oh, l can get it all right You call
up the Office of the Eclipse Company
and find out what they will give for
$4,000 shares. You can find out that
they are good for any offer they may
make if you will look in your COM
mercial agency reports for their
rating"
I'll do better than that" replied the
astute Mr.. Simpson. III get their
offer in writing" He then called his
Office manager and directed him to
write a letter to the company asking
them for firm bid for $4,000 shares

offer to be good for "a hours.

Il can't bring him here, so you'll
have to get the money and come with
me-" explained Danny.
And why can't you bring him
here?" was the half-surprised query
of Simpson.
Because he's locked up in the
Bridewell. You see the last big drunk
he INDUCED in he threatened to shoot
up saloon and was fined 500 for
carrying revolver. He'd had a quar-
rel with Alderman Mehanty directly
after they made their trade because
Mehanty would hot even lend him
money on his stock. You see the al

at that time. The man is In prison

Alderman Mehanty introduced Floyd
to his nephew, Lawrence Sullivan, eX-
pIaining to the latter that his friend
Floyd was to direct the machinery OF
the Office until further notice.
Danny Roberts fitted like a glove
his new job in the Office of the Eclipse
Copper Mining Company While there
was no work for him to do there was
plenty to be done in the way of fol.
lowing out the instructions that Floyd
had given him. One part of Danny's
main bucket shop owned by Rowley
Simpson. While this place was os-
tensibly a reputable brokerage office,
1t was none the less a booklet shop

game of speculation poured more gold
into the Simpson Golfers. Danny be-
came regular customer of the place

private interview with Simpson on a
matter of Importance. This interview
was granted, but Simpson was cold
as an iceberg when Danny hung up a
distress signal, pleading that luck had
been against him and that he had
overplayed himself in the bucket shop.
Simpson, seeming request for loan
or credit, was old Taciturnity's full
brother as the supposed clerk poured
out his tale of VICE. He pricked I'D
his ears, however, when Danny men
toned the name Of Alderman Mehanty.
Il don't suppose 1 would have been
trading here" Danny was saying, If
l had known that you were back of
this concern. If old Mehanty knew it
he'd tie can to me in a second and
half. I'm glad now, though, that

don't love Mehanty any more than
you do, and we both know how he hates

inquiry OF Simpson. more than half
suspicious. as Danny knew he
would be.
Its that copper property of his.
He's going to turn it over to the syn
dicate at big price just as soon as he
can gather in a bunch of stock that's

and what was about given up as a
worthless property may soon be worth
million. They have tried to sup
press the news of the strike until they
can buy in as much stock as they can.
They are paying so cents a share for
all they can get. You can see from
these clippings that the news got
into couple Of western papers in the
neighborhood of the mine. but these
papers do not circulate where any of
the eastern stockholders would see
them"
Il don't see how it interests me that

of the country who would give him
the money to pay his fine. Come on,
