SELLING WHISKY TO INDIANS
Eureka's District Attorney and

Illicit Traffic

The recent killing at Palisade of an
Indian woman by another Indian. in .

and the savage and brutal method used
In concentrating the deed. by burning to
death the victim while she was insens-
IDLE from a blow on the head, has re-
called to mind the fate Of . white family
in Lander County, and has awakened
Eureka County to the grave dangers
which are dormant, but which exist
from the gift or sale Of liquors to In

The ranchers outside Of Palisade aud
Of Eureka are in q serious mood over
this matter, and waut to know why 90

ness. and. why those who furnish the
liquors seem to be immune from arrest.
The ranchers see and suffer the evils
arising from the Indian full Of whisky.
The Indian does not drink in town the
vile stuff that is furnished to him. He
waits until he gets outside. for fear that
it will be seen and taken away from him.
1t is for this reason that the ranchers
see more Of what is going on than those
living in the towns. Naturally, they
are asking questions, aud they have o
good right to require IN answer Some
of them do not hesitate to say that the
white man who furnishes whisky to the
Indians. thereby creating . menace to
the wives and families Of the men who
live on the ranches. is an outlaw, and
should be treated a. an outlaw.
The matter Of enforcing . compliance
with the law has been referred to, and

COCHISE

Yet, at the beginning, Cochise had
no especial grudge against the gov
eminent. The first clash, when he
was young man, came about in this
way: Some horses belonging to a
New Mexico army post were stolen.
The local commandant arrested
Cochise and several of his Apache
followers on suspicion and put them
in close guarded tent. Cochise alone
escaped with three bullets in his
body by cutting his way out of the
canvas and breaking through the cor
don of guards. Furious at the insult
to which he and his braves had been
subjected, he captured a settler and
sent word to the commandant that ii
the other Indian prisoners were
harmed he would kill his white cap
tive. The commandant paid no heed
y the warning, but hanged the
Apaches he had seized. Then Cochise
made good his threat, and declared
war to the death against the white
man.
Finally, during President Grants ad-
ministration, Gen. o. o. Howard was
sent to New Mexico to try to patch
up some sort of a peace with Cochise.
He met Cochise's nephew, Chic, who,
with Jeffords, offered to conduct the
general to the mountain fortress if
he would agree to take no soldiers
along. Howard consented. Bravely
he went to the hidden stronghold of
bo 81 u,oIlzipo If cpnnnn1
straight into the jaws of death For
he knew Cochise's hatred of the
whites and he was going to him alone

A Generals Heroic Act
Perhaps the one-armed generals
calm courage pleased Cochise. Per
haps, weary of 1ong, useless warfare,
peace. At any rate he greeted How
ard like a brother and listened to the
terms OF the treaty which the general
outlined to him. He called a council
and prayed to the Great Spirit for
guidance. The Spirit seems to have
indorsed Towards requests, for, aft
er the prayers, Cochise said:
mo one seeks peace more earnest
ly than l. Even as your soldiers obey
you, so l will obey the President at
Washington"
He called his tribesmen together,
and with solemn Formally the Great
Peace" was cemented at Sulphur
Springs. In reward, Cochise received
a large strip of excellent public land
for his tribe, and his adopted brother,
Jeffords, was made Indian agent for
the reservation. Thus the ''robber
baron's" melodramatic adventures
wound up tamely enough, and he end
ed his days in the humdrum role OF g

mo white man has looked upon
Cochise and lived to tell of it,"
So ran the New Mexico saying.
And for many years it was the truth
Cochise was chief of the Chiricahua
Apaches. High in the Dragon noun
tains Of New Mexico he had a mighty
fortress where he and his band of 500
"hostiles" lived, and from which they
issued from time to time on havoc
making raids. This fortress was al
most impossible for an outsider to
find. No body of soldiers could pene
trate to it.
Cochise openly laughed at the gov
ernment's puny efforts to check his
murderous career He lived like one
of the robber barons Of old. Scouts
would tell him of the approach of
some emigrant train, a stage coach
or provision caravan along the
neighboring lowlands Down from his
mountain retreat he would swoop at
the head of his wild native freeboot-
ers. and would slaughter every white
man, woman. and child in the party,
rifing the provisions, etc, destroying
the wagons and driving off the
horses, mules and cattle.
Wild Raids on Caravans.
Before troops could be sent to
avenge the crime Cochise and his
band would be safely hidden among
the rocky Businesses of their noun
tains. At last the roads and trails
of the district were practically aban-
doned by travellers. In only one in
stance during all his years of free
bOoting did Cochise spare any white
man he met. That was in the case
of a red-bearded hunter and guide
named Jeffords. Why Cochise not
only allowed Jeffords to live but
no white man ever knew. But JEFF
fords was made welcome to the fort
ress whenever he cared to visit it.
Cochise, in his own perverted way,
was something of an Indian patriot
as well as robber. He saw the long
trains of west-bound caravans that
yearly grew more and more numerous.
He knew the white men were grad
ually invading the west and that they
were little by little driving the In
dams from their old homes. He aimed
to stay this tide of westward emigra-
ton Therefore he killed every white
man he could lay hands on. Yet, in
course of time, he began to see the
uselessness of such a course He
once said to Jeffords:
81 have slain ten white men for
every one of my own warriors that
they have killed. Yet my people
steadily grow fewer and one day they
will vanish from the earth. And the
white mems numbers are no less, no
matter how many I destroy"

his death fled the last hope of peace

The handful Of hardy English pill

earlier at Plymouth Rock were strug-
Cling to keep body and soul together
in the bleak Massachusetts climate.
Their provisions were scanty, their
dwellings rude and insufficient. Their

wretched little colony would grow and
flourish until it should one day become
the bulwark of American liberty-he
would have laughed the idea to scorn.
Or, rather-as the pilgrim fathers
