HISTORY OF THE CH|R|CAHUA
 APACHE IN THE TERRITORY

He will tell of the subsequent cen turies in Arizona, centuries that were distinguished by the wars of the red Martians when every other tribe with in radius ot hundreds of mics. eith- CT was subjugated or driven from the country.
 He will tell how the Apaches lived by robbery and murder. how they made no progress of any sort, how they lived by hunting and fishing. how they struck terror into every oth- CT tribal village
 He will point out that of all their seven tribes the fiercest were the Chirioahuas. of whom the modern Geronimo is a descendant.
 The lives of reckless abandonment of these mountain-child savages con tinued to beget unlimited sayagery clear down to the acquisition of the territory by the United States. True. some two hundred years before, tho saints of the cross had fought their way into the north from Sonora and had established their missions.
 Even after the coming of the coun- try under American domination it was it was three decades and more before the Apache was subdued.
 Efforts were systematically made as early as November. 1871. In that year the San Carlos reservation was established and upon it were immured seven of the sub-tribes of the Apaches. But among these were not the Chir- | icahuas. who rsisted the efforts ri Uncle Sam and who remained un' caught in the Sierra Madre mountains until five years later. when they also were moved to San Carlos.
 For five years they remained peace ful. but in the year 1881 they went again on the warpath. From then on until the year 1886 it was a steady
 warfare. Finally in that year they were subdued and removed to snecial reservation set aside for then in tbe state of Florida. With tha
