Tricky and cruel, the Apaches held
out for many years against the in
roads OF the whites upon their ancient
hunting grounds Such leaders as
Cochise, Geronimo and Natchez led the
Apaehes against famous American
generals like Nelson A. Miles and
George Crook A reward of $4,000
was once offered for Apache Kid. but
was never claimed.
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 We're placed on the
San Carlos reservation 1t was sup
posed that an end had been put to
the Indian troubles. but raids in 1882
and 1883 shook the feeling OF security.
In the year 1883 there were $4,000
Indians in the territory occupying
lands reserved for them by the gem
eral government. The government
was supporting about Ave thousand of
them.
In 1882 the Chiricahua, White
Mountain and San Carlos Apaches
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 valley OF the Gila killing at least
sixty white settlers.
Then for six years Arizona was the
scene of a merciless Indian war. In
1889 Geronimo became chief of the
Apaches. He massacred settlers and
burned ranches almost at will After
each raid he would escape to the
mountain Businesses of Mexico where
the United States soldiers could not
| pursue him. Finally permission was
secured from Mexico for soldiers to
cross the frontier in pursuit OF the In
dians. In 1883 Captain Lawton, serv-
ing under Gen Nelson A. Miles. sur
rounded Geronimo's warriors and
made them prisoners The whole tribe
was taken to Florida and later trans
ferred 10 Fort Sill. Okla. as prisoners
of war
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 sometime the
government may see fit to grant them
their wish Today they are as peace
full and placid as any Indians. having
seen the folly OF resisting the whites.
OF course there were bad men and
gun men In Arizona In her early days.
Stage and train robberies were by no
means uncommon and excited only
passing comment Finally train rob-
berries became so frequent that In
1889 the penalty for that crime was
fixed at death. In the same year the
Legislature passed a law providing a
fine OF SIS for any one carrying SON
cealed weapons.
1t was not until after the penalty
for Grain robbing had been fixed at
death that Arizona became really
peaceful Now there is no train rob-
bling any more. and as the day of the
stage coach is practically passed the
stage robber is extinct.
Until 1907 everything was wide
open in Arizona Gambling was unre-
strained and, except where municipal
laws prevented. women and minors
we're allowed In saloons. In that year
the legislature responded to an urgent
message from Governor Kibbey and
to pronounced public sentiment and
passed rigid anti-gambling law that
closed such games.

MADERo's DIFFICULT TASK

Recent revolutionary outbreak in
the Republic of Mexico. has again
brought into the limelight Francisco
Madero, and there is some specula-
ton in certain quarters regarding the
presidents ability to handle the situa-
ton. Madero is the strangest world
figure alive today. He is brave but
not brilliant soldier. He is quiet,
modest gentleman and scholar. too
nearly a dreamer and doctrinaire in
patriotism for the thought of desrotic
rule or undeserved injury to any man
ever to enter his mind. Gold lace
and medals for himself he despies al
most as heartily as he does graft and
selfish greed. There is not trace OF
the glitter that the Latin-American
temperament loves about the man
now so well beloved. whose pen pie
ture we quote from Hampton's Maya
zirs:

can states combined, and the elder

1t was blacksmith shop of fair

Of the trade. The man was facing me.

his lips poured forth the fervent words

mother was not forgotten, and there
was something of sincerity about that

resonant voice, and above all, the en-
preston of that upturned face, neld
me silent, motionless. He was a man
of short, sturdy limb, but great bulk,
massive chest, and immense shoulders
evidencing remarkable strength. What
was this man, this praying black
smith? A patriot surely, from his
words Of petition; one who had suf-
fered much, but was willing to suffer
more. The strength chiselled in that
upturned face, those deeply marked
features, revealed no common mental
equipment. Here was real man,
with convictions, one who would die
for an ideal; without doubt a radical,
ready to go to any extreme where con-
science blazed the way.
