Some of these tribes the Apachsa
hated as aercely as they hated the
white men. They objected strenuously
to being herded side by side with their
hereditary foes.
Crook, who had a wonderful under
standing of Indian character, might
have hit upon q solution Of this difd-
Guilty. But he was transferred to an
other field of duty, and the men who
succeeded him were less tactful.
Accordingly war parties Of the
Apaches broke out Of their reservation
time and again. going back to their
old lands and spreading destruction
broadcast. For six years these raids
continued. Throughout Arizona and
New Mexico the savage invaders car
ried the horrors Of murder. torture and
fame. Often the "braves" managed to
slip back UNPUBLISHED to their reserva-

gion including Arizona and part OF
Texas were scattered savage Indian
nation known as the Apaches. number
ing about 10000 In all. When that re-
gion had been Mexican territory the
Apaches had been a thorn in Mexico's
side. But for the first few years after
the United States government annexed
the district they gave comparatively
little trouble Then as the west grew
more thickly settled by men who had
scant consideration for the natives the
inevitable clash came, just as two CEN
turtles earlier 1t had come In New Eng
land when the pioneer had wanted the
aborigine's land. But the Apaches
were decidedly different men from the
early Indians Of the eastern states.
Treac herous. bloodthirsty. horribly
cruel. those modern savages hated the
white invader and In comparatively
short time were at war with him.
In 1860 the entire Apache nation
went on the warpath. Their method
| of fighting was to dash unexpectedly
from ambush and mountain stronghold
upon some caravan or village and tor
ture. mutilate and kill every white
man. woman or child who had the un.
speakably bad fortune to fall into their
hands. BY the time government troops
from the nearest army post could be
rushed to the scene Of slaughter the
Indians were usually safe In their in.
accessible mountain Businesses or had
vanished somewhere across the prairie
or desert.
For the first few months Of the up
| rising Uncle Sans soldiers managed
| to curb. In a measure. these atrocities,
and the work of settling the new land
went Oh. But In 1861 the civil war
broke out. and most Of the soldiers
hitherto quartered in the west were
rushed to the front. leaving the from.

Then 1t was that the Apaches swept
over Arizona territory In an unchecked
wave of boudshed. TOmahawk and
flame marked their murderous course

succeeded In finding refuge in Tucson,
every white inhabitant Of Arizona was
slain or frightened out Of the terri

believed that a policy Of kindness

ring Apaches and change their hate to
love. AS result Of this experiment
In mildncss about 1000 white people
were murdered. This llst included hun

AS time went OH without bringing

CHEMISTS MAKE
SAPPHIRES; REAL
GEMS WILL FADE

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-Dealers
of precious stones in New York
view with alarm the information
cabled to them that French chem
lists have succeeded in their long
effort to make sapphires of the
same hardness, color, composition
and general appearance as the real
sapphire.
The same scare was produced a
few years ago when imitation ru-
Dies were produced, and only eX-
perts were able to distinguish the
real and the artificial ruby. The
artificial sapphires are made by
fusing alumina with oxide of iron
and titanium to produce the blue
color.
Fine sapphires sell from $3.50 to
5000 carat, not much below the
price of diamonds. Real rubies sell
Tor more than diamonds.
