 Cochise Psrleys.
 Three tribes of Apaches were at Dragoon pass and Bascom and his command arched there Under flag of truce and six chiefs, among whom was Cochise. came to the sol- dier5 camp to hold barley with the soldiers. They were taken into a tent and it is understood that they denied any Knowledge of the Kidnapping of the child or the stealing Of the Mex ican womans COW There was a quar- rel between the military officers and the Indians and Lieut. Bascom or- dered the Apaches seizes and bound. Cochise understanding what was 10 happen grabbed mp knife and slash ed bis way through the tend and ran toward he Indian camp The seu- try fired on him, as did some of the other soldiers, and before reaching his friends Cochise was struck by three bullets.
 In sight of the Indian camp lhe five chiefs who had been seized by Lieut. Bascom were hung. To get even, the Indians brought forward l2 Mexican captyes they were holding and strung them up head down u sight of the soldiers Bascom ordered his company 10 charge the ndiaut and a rush was made at the hill The Apaches repulsed the attack and Bas- com was forced 10 retreat back to the fort
 As soon as these soldiers reached their barracks, they were ordered to pack for the march east to take part in the civil war which was just ,hen breaking out All the regulars in Arizona were withdrawn by the fed- . eral government and then the Indians went wild and began a campaign Of killing and butchery of Che whites
 Mr. Pumpelly narrowly escaped be- ing killed and one of the men aJ the mine was killed
 Reign of Terror
 Aoug with the Indian horrors the lawless white population aided by the renegade MeXicans began a reign of terror No such thing as civil law oN- isted It was each man for himself and killing was every day occur 1 rences with no law to prevent Some times a man who was mot particularly popular would down a man who had friends ana the killer woud be start ed for Albuquerque, where there was supposed to be some kind of govern. meut The escortiug parties would generally return within a short time and the body of thc killer would be found later hanging 70 a tree. All the law there was in this part of Ari- zona in those days says Mr. Pmpel ly. was what was in tho conciesce of the citizens. There was no other restraint.
 Taking advantage of the lawless situation, the MeXicns became un. ruly and killed many Americans. They killed an the white men at the san Pedro mining camp and in their raids on ranches were nearly as bad as the . CeTo Colorado camp, Col Poston mine Conditions became 80 bad that finally there were only six or eight respectable white men left in south ern Arizona
 Mr. Pumpelly and some of his ! friends decided that there was no use of trying Co do anything in Che way Of mining in southern Arizona and they planned to get out of Che country They escaped by going down into Sonora and taking the Caborca 10 Gila City trail They crossed tho i Colorado at Yuma in a ferry run by Ia Mir. Jaeger. who was the father Of Louis Jaeger. of the Santa Rita hotel ! After crossing the river they made their way through the desert over that part or the country now known
