was married in that city to Miss
Stella Irene Martin. In 1901 MIR.
Hildreth opened a drug store i'm
Prescott. but i'll health forced him
to give it up.
The president appointed Mr.. Hill
dreth register of the Prescott land
office in 1902. In 1905 he effected
the consolidation of the Tucson
and Prescott offices and their re-
moval to Phoenix. He came to
Phoenix as receiver. having been
just appointed to that higher and
more responsible position. His
connection with the land office
terminated in 1908. when he en-
gagged in the private practice of
land law. During his period of
governmental service he had spent
his spare time studying law, know
ing the opportunities existing here
for a man thoroughly versed in
that line of practice.
Since then Mr. Hildreth has de-
voted most of his time to his legal
practice. At present the firm name
is Bowman * Hildreth. ne having
taken partner. who is also an
expert land attorney In 1910 he
organized the Hildreth Scrip COM
pany. which now has offices in
Los Angeles and Phoenix and is
doing a large business.
In the meantime. Mr. Hildreth
has been engaged once more in
the drug business. He purchased
the Adams pharmacy from j. c.
Adams in 1910. After he had
owned it three months it was de
stroyed by fire Within ten days
he had opened anaher store in
the Craig building That business
was sold in December, 1910.
Mr.. Hildreth is a believer in
Arizona, Phoenix and the Salt Riv-
er valley He owns a handsome
home at Third street and the Nc
Dowell road; also several ranches
near the city.

was born at Rocky River. Febru-

He went to district schools in his
earlier years and later to the high
school at Bellevue. After that he
studied law i'm an eastern uni

As a budding attorney. Mr.. Will

Finally he decided that Arizona Of

he moved to Tombstone, the coun-
~ seat, where he has lived ever
since.
In 1908 Mr.. Williams was elect
ed district attorney of COchise
county. normally heavily demo-
cratic. and is now serving his third
year in that office.
The greatest work of Jack Will
liams' life has been to clean up"
Cochise county. The task that
confronted him was decidedly diff
ferent from those which made Will
liam Travers jerome, Joseph w.
Folk and other public men famous.
He was attempting what many be
lieved to be impossible-to change
the moral aspect of a community
that still chung to the western
ideals of half a century ago. But
he was successful In the mean
time he became better known
throughout Arizona and when it
became known that he would ac-
cept the nomination for the house
of representatives, no one opposed
him.
John Williams is of striking per-
sonality and an orator of great
ability. an orator who can convince
with the logic of his argument.

Sonora line, in which a number
of Indians were killed. The sur
vivors. supposed to number about
500, took up their residence i'm the
Sierra Madre mountains in Sonora
and Chihuahua, Mexico. They re-
manned quiet until March. 1883.
when a small number of them
raided through southeastern Ari-
gona and southwestern New Mex
leo. killed a number of citizens and
stole a large amount of property.
They returned to Mexico without
receiving punishment.
General George Crook was then
sent out to take command of the
department of Arizona He Wis
tied Sonora and chihuahua and
made arrangements for the sending
of a military force into Mexico. to
capture the Indians. He found
them encamped in the Sierra
Madres but upon his approach
many of the fighting men fled. An
engagement was had and many
Indians killed. Quite a number
of men. women and children were
captured and returned to the res
ervation.
Among those who escaped was
Geronimo. the crafty. daring lead
er. He remained with his fol-
lowers and continued to raid on
this side of the line till 1883. when
General Miles directing the cam
paign. Colonel Lawton pursued
Geronimo so closely he was forced
to surrender. Upon being brought
back to Arizona from Mexico. Ge-
ronimO and his band were sent to
Florida and later To the Fort Sill
reservation, in oklahoma. There
Geronimo remained until his death.
three or four years ago, and the
remainder of his band is still
there. All desire to return to
Arizona and it is possible that
some time the government may
see fit to grant them their wish.
Today they are as peaceable and
placid as any Indians. having
seen the folly of resisting the
whites.

importance was in November. 1889.

Up to 1874 the Indians terrorized
large sections of the territory, and
kept out immigration and capital.
In that year all the Apaches that
could be rounded up were placed
on the San Carlos reservation. 1t
was supposed that an end had
been nut to the Indian troubles
but raids in 1882 and 1883 shook
the feeling of security.
In the year 1883 there were 25,-
600 Indians i'm the territory. occu-
pying lands reserved for them by
the general government. The
government was supporting about
5000 of them.
The principal dissatisfaction
came from the Chiricahua, White
Mountain and San Carlos Apaches
and i'm 1882. they broke out in open
rebellion on the morning of
April 10. LOco's band broke out at
San Carlos, and after killing the
chief of police started up the val
ley of the ella. killing at least
sixty white settlers. The military
force of the territory was so small
and so scattered that the raid was
continued almost without Interrupt
ton until the Indians reached the
boundary line between Arizona and
Mexico. General Wilcox. then in
command of this department.

ity. The secretary of war and the
commanding general of the army
responded to appeals for help by
sending more troops into the field

at Tucson in 1907 and in a short
time had demonstrated that he was

pointed him a member.

ing reduced freight and passenger
rates for Arizona. He has been
