Mass, who has been visiting his
cousin, John G. Rowe of Augusta and
is now visiting relatives in Auburn,
passed several years in Texas and
was in the city of San Antonio
when the Apacha chief Geronimo
was brought to Fort Sam Houston
some eighteen years ago. He de-
scribes that blood thirsty monster as
the most cruel sample of humanity
he ever saw. He was captured in
Arizona by troops sent out from Fort
Sam Houston and was brought back
to San Antonio where he and twelve
other Indians were kept in the stock
age under strict guard before being
sent to Florida. Later he was sent to
Oklahoma. Mr.. Woodman remembers
his surly looks and acts when he
visited him. He refused to speak to

pecially vicious. And that was his
character.
