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
Apaches 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 were 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 1888 there were $4,000
Indians in the territory occupying
lands reserved for them by the gen.
eral government. The government
was supporting about five 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 ella, killing at least
sixty white settlers.
Then for six years Arizona was the
scene of a merciless Indian war. In
1888 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 vas
secured from Mexico for soldiers to
cross the frontier in pursuit of the In
dams. In 1888 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 to 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 CT resisting the whites.
OF course there were bad men and
gun men in Arizona in her early days.
Stage and train robberies We're 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 $25 for any one carrying con-
cealed weapons.
1t was not until after the penalty
for train 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, ONE and minors
were allowed In saloons. In that year
the legislature responded to al urgent
message from Governor Kibbey and
to pronounced public sentiment and
passed a rigid antigambling law that
closed such games.

but how deeply is not known.
Despite the wound, despite the
blood that was flowing freely, the col
onel insisted on fulfilling his engage
ment with the people of Wisconsin.
II. #. Coehems introduced the coll
onel and told the crowd what had
happened
When the colonel arose to speak
there was tremendous cheering. He
drew his manuscript from his coat
pocket and showed his audience
where the bullet had gone directly
through it,
He pointed out the bullet hole to
the crowd and said, you see it takes
more than that to kill Bull Moose. :"
AS the colonel opened his coat and
vest it was seen that almost the en-
tire right side of his shirt was COW
cred with blood, He said that if it
had not been for the manuscript he
had in his pocket on that side he
would have been killed.
The colonel's physical strength.
however, was not equal TO his eour-
age, and when half way through his
speech he had to stop.
Col. Roosevelt was taken to the
Emergency hospital, placed on the
operating table, and six physicians
made an examination of the wound
They found that the bullet had
penetrated much more deeply than
the first superficial examination led
them to believe, and all efforts to
locate it were futile.
Col. Roosevelt left here for Chi
cage Monday night, arriving there
about S:30 a. IN. He was taken at
once to Mercy hospital, where a num-
Der OF prsminent surgeons examined
his wounds. The doctors decided not
TO extract the bullet for the present.
The exact location of the bullet was
not announced by the surgeons but it
was stated that the celebrated pa
tient was not in any danger, unless
blood poisoning sets in.
AS soon as he is able to leave Chi
cage Col Roosevelt will be taken to
oyster Bay He will remain at home
there until he is completely mended

the police he was John Schrank or
$40 East Tenth street. New York. He
is young, apparently about 80 years
old.
It is evident from papers on his
person he has been trailing the coll
onel for a long wilhelm fact, he
had the colonels itinerary written
on sheet of note paper of a south
ern hotel.
The man is without doubt dement,
ed Two insane proclamation"
were found on his person, in which
is set forth that it was his duty to
kill any man who aspired to third
term.
Quick action on the part of by
ISLANDERS alone saved him from sud
den and violent death.
He was hustled to the police sta
ton, where he first refused to give
his name and reiterated time and
time again that he was justified in
killing the colonel and was sorry
that he had not done so.
He said that he had been trying
to get chance to fire the shot that
would remove Roosevelt from the
world for long while, but had been
unable to get an opportunity.
Admitting his guilt in district
court to a charge of assault with in
tent to kill and murder, and waving
preliminary examination, John
Schrank, would-be assassin of the
former president, was bound over to
municipal court for trial at the pres
ent term. Seeming wholly uncon-
scious of the danger of possible vio-
fence, Schrank refused the offer of a
speedy trial, made by Judge Neele
B. Neelen, with the answer: Il have
plenty of time and am willing to let
my trial take its regular course" The
procedure did not consume more
than a few moments, Schrank mere
ly repeating his statement that he
shot Roosevelt and waving prelimi-
nary examination. The prisoners
bail was fixed at $500, which he
was unable to furnish
The penalty called for by law for
Schrank's crime is from one to fif-
teen years.
While the questioning was going
on the crowd began to gather up
around the bench Before the depu-
ties noticed them there were several
scores of persons gathered close to
the prisoner. There was no violence
even suggested, for the crowd was
only curious one. After the crowd
had been forced back to their seats
the prisoner was led back to the Dull
pen" Here he sat alone, the other
prisoners crowding away from him
as one would from a snake.
The letter which was found on the
man who fired at the ex-president is
clearly the work of an unbalanced
mind. 1t is in a neat, careful hand
writing, but the misspelling of one
or two words shows that it was writ
