 Historic Stronghold

Yesterday J 4 Rockfellow, .he we'll and fsvorsby knoTn civil en- gineer, purchased from Mrs. Glenn Guitsrd the Rcd" Warren ranch, shich includes the greater portion of the historic Cochise Strong hold.
 It wss from this place that the Apache Napoleon directed his mur- derous bands in the eos and early 70's. It WAS bere that General o O Howard with his sids, Captain Sla den and Captain Tom Jeffords and two friendly Apaches met Cochise and ar ranged & temporary srmistice, which resulted later in treaty of peace.
 Ons of the conditions which WAS insisted upon by Cochise was ths: he should retain his Stronghold and be granted a reservation, which included the greater part of what is now Co., chise county. He kept faith with the Americans, bat was accused of raid ing Mexico; and in one of these raids received wound from which he died later at his Stronghold. He was buried there with great ceremony, the only white man present being Captain Jetfords.
 After the death of Cochise, which occurred just before the discovery Of the mines which made Tombstone famous, the Indian Department muv. cd his tribe, the Cbiricshus Apaches, to San Carlos. Many Indians refused to go and -ucceeded in getting into Mexic co. From their iastnesses Tn the Sierra Msdre Mountains they rs'ded Arizona and New Mexico.
 Mr. RockielloE with his partner, the late Walter F. Servoss, went into the Stronghold in 1883 and located @ ranch at the mouth of the canyon.
 h 1899 Red" Warren located a strip mile in length, above the Rockiellow ranch, winch was event ualliy sold to Mrs. Guitsrd and now passes into Rockfellows' possession.
