CHARGES OF BAKING MONEY
FROM MAILS FACE TUCSONIAN

Charged with Stealing, abstracting
and removing" money from mail at
the Tucson postoffice, Ferdinand R.
Laux was held pending a meeting of
the fall grand jury, on $4,000 bond. He
was arrested by Postoffice Inspector
G. d. Lowe, and SO of marked money
was found in his possession, along
with $50 of other currency. When ar
raigned before Judge J. P. Mallory,
acting commissioner, Laux waived his
preliminary hearing and the $4,000
bond was fixed.
The arrest was made when Laux
went off shift. He was suddenly
confronted with the postal inspector,
who searched him and found ten dol
lars in marked bills that had been
placed in the mail as decoy. That
he admitted his crime in a written
confession was stated by Fred w.
F.ckett Jr., assistant district attorney.

WILL NOT CANCEL ANY
WAR DEBT SAYS WILLIS

! In a patriotic address delivered at
Valley Forge recently, Senator Frank
Willis of Ohio, member of the senate
foreign relations committee, declared
that most of the propaganda which is
going forward for the cancellation of
the foreign debts is being inspired by
international bankers who have in
vested in foreign bonds, which would
go up in price, were the war debts
cancelled.
Senator Willis said that he would
never vote to cancel one cent of the
foreign debt, and he denied also the
charges made by internationalist
minds to the effect that America has
not done her duty to the world.
"I'm tired of all this 'bollywog' and
Of the statements of alleged states
men who say that America hasn't
done her part" said Senator Willis.
"Stand with me on the battlefields of
Europe and see the long rows of
crosses--they mark the spot where
100 900 of the finest men on earth are
buried. They say we haven't done
our part financially. During the war

ACCIDENTS AT RAILROAD
CROSSINGS CARELESSNESS

During the last few weeks the safe
ty department of the Santa Fe rail-
way company has sent out new post
ers to be put up along railway cross
ings and elsewhere and which it is
hoped may teach a lesson that will
have the effect of reducing the num-
Der of accidents at such points. In
sending out these posters the railway
calls attention to these very important
facts which tell story that is quite
startling:
Seventy per cent of all crossing ac-
cidents occur in daylight.
Sixty-three per cent of all crossing
accidents occur in the open country
where there is no obstruction to the
view.
A large majority of all crossing ac-
cidents occur at crossings with which
the driver is entirely familiar, usually
in the locality where he or she re-
sides.
Fourteen per cent of all crossing
accidents q out of every y result
from the drivers running into the side
of moving trains.
While about 20 per cent of drivers
are careless only about per cent are
grossly negligent, yea with Is mil
lion automobiles in the United States
this represents 100000 reckless mo-
torists. These include many whose
eyesight and hearing are impaired,
children who are not old enough to
understand the operation of the car,
men of such advanced age that they
are not capable of operating the car
safely, and. it also includes large
number who drive cars while in an
intoxicated condition.
All crossings are not protected and
those that are have various types of
protection, such as ground. fiagman,
gateman and electric flashlight and
audible signals. All drivers should
approach crossings with this knowl-
edge and know that the way is clear
before attempting to cross the tracks;
also should know that where there are
two or more tracks, trains are likely
to be moving in both directions at the
same time.

signal smokes made by scouts ap-
prised the raiders Of every movement
of the approaching troops. Alert,
crafty and cunning and tireless on the
war trail as the Indians were and
with an intimate knowledge of the
difficult mountainous country, they
generally baffled the pursuit.
The lone trapper and prospector
who ventured into the Indian country
was trailed up and mercilessly slain
in his blankets. No quarter was asked
or. given, white prisoners were taken
and burnt at the stake or staked on
an ant hill by the vengeful savages.
So successful were the Apaches in
the earlier years of the war that we
find General Carleton. commandant at
Tucson in 1868 reporting that nearly
all the settlements in southern Arizona
had been destroyed ard mines aban-
donad and the miners killed or driven
out by the hostiles and that cf the
4C00 white settlers in the territory
half had been driven out or slain by
the Indians.
Again we refer to Gen. Irwin Nc
Dowell's report of March, 1866. He
says: 'sThe Apaches' numbering for
avs have been from GO miles north of
Prescott to the Sonora line, all
through the Hassayampa, Aqua Fria,
ella, Santa Cruz, Snoita and Arri-
vaca valleys, on all the roads. every
where in fact where there is life or
property to be taken. This territory
is reduced to so low a point for want
of troops that it is fast being aban-
doned. Farms are deserted, valuable
m aires given up and as no one could
venture into the valleys to till the
soil or herd the stock the country pro-
duced no food. =
And after describing the country the
general continues: Mature has done
her utmost to enable savages armed
with bow and spear to hold tributary
three states. Arizona, Sonora and Chi
lluahua, peopledt by Christian race,
These states were once flourishing but
such has been the devastation and
alarm spread by these children of the
mountains they are losing population
ard commerce at a rate that must

inhabited.
Into this scene of turmoil and car
mage came young soldier in his
early twenties. We first find mem
tion of him by the commandment at
old Fort Bowie where he was on gar
rison duty in 1868. In-1870 we find
him in command of cavalry scouts at
old Fort Goodwin, under the shadow
Of Mt. Trumbull. Again in 1872 Sic
Der and his men were close upon the
trail of Geroilimo's raiders after the
twilight battle with detachment
from the Picket Post garrison at
Bloody Tanks near where is now the
town of Miami
AT this time Sieber was organizing
his famous troops OF Apache scouts
fer service against their-own tribes
men. He had acquired a fluency in
the Apache tongue and he labored to
weld his small force which never ex-

followers had again taken the war
trail and were far south devastating
again the San Simon valley. Troops
came from as far away as Fort
Whipple in pursuit of the hostiles. At
the head of our forces went Sieber
and his scouts. The hostiles raided
northern Mexico and returned laden
with plunder on two hundred stolen
mounts, and were reported encamped
on Skeleton canyon low down on the
southeastern foot Of the Chiricuhua
range
Then ensued the crowning episode
in All Sieber's eventful life thus de-
scribed by the same eye witness:
"Our command halted and at Sic
ber's solicitation the commanding of
ficer allowed him to go forward into
the Indian camp and induce the In
dians to surrender. | was chosen by
Sieber to accompany him and together
we rode 70 miles south to Geronimos
camp, were received and assigned to a
tepee guarded by an old squaw. For
five days and nights Sieber talked and
powwowed with the Indians and he
hardly slept at all. / never expected
that he and / would ever get out of
the Indian camp alive but at last Sic
Der induced old Geronimo to surren-

The scenes shifted, Geronimo and
his 300 irleconcilables are exiled to
the swamps of Florida, and Arizona
knows them no more. Sieber and his
scouts still ride the long trails, main
tanning order and picking up few
renegades, like Apache Kid. In
scrimmage in arresting some mutin-
Gus scouts at TT. Thomas, Sieber re-
ceived serious wound IN the right
leg and ever afterward he limps. In
the '90s most of the old military
posts are abandoned for the Indian
war is over. In still wild and lonely
places ruins of such posts as Forts
Bowie and Buchan, Picket and Camp
Reno may still be seen. Others like
Fort Apache, Camp Lincoln and Fort
Thomas are communities Of modern
homes situate in the midst OF fertile
valleys.
Sieber's scouts were disbanded at
old Fort Thomas and some Of them
become exiles from their own tribes,
SO usdying were the mutual hatreds
engendered in these savage men. The
last years of al Sieber's lie were

Then so years rested lightly on AL
Sieber. His hair and sandy mustache
were tinged with gray, broad shoul-

built, walking with limp yet elastic
step, taciturn and grim as ever, he
was still "The Iron Man."
Sieber, who was in charge of some
Indians constructing the highway up
Tonto valley, was killed by a falling
rock few miles north Of Roosevelt in

~ Sieber--s.The Iron Man
Most Famous Soldier in the Souhwests History
By JEM McKEM

In 1856 began in Arizona the
Apache war against the encroaching
Americans, probably the most desper-
ate and long drawn out struggle in
frontier warfare, which lasted 80
years.
Arizona territory in 1856 was a
very remote region with only a very
few white settlements along the
Santa Fe and San Diego trails. At
widely separated posts along these
trails the national government main
tanned small garrisons but the strong
arm of the Washington government
reaching 17O0 miles beyond the
steamboat navigation of the Missouri
river, over difficult wagon roads, lost
much of its power. Railroads were
far in the future and most of Arizona
was in the undisputed possession of
the implacable Indians, fierce in their
hate of the encroaching white race.
Various causes for this war have
been assigned by contemporary chrcn-
iclers but the real underlying funda-
mental cause was the collision of the
two races in territory desired by both
and in all history when two such virile
and dissimilar races have ccme into
collision, there has been as the in
evitable result, war.
At this time the Apaches were a
loose confederation of some seven
tribes, all speaking the same or SINH
lar Athabaskan tongue and occupying
a wide region extending from the
Colorado river, just below the Grand
Canyon, through central Arizona and
on south to the Sonora line and east
erly into New Mexico as far az the
Sacramento mountains where dwelt
the Mescalero tribe Of Apaches.
The Mojaves dwelt and roamed in the
region between the Colorado and the
Verde rivers. The Tontos in the
White mountain country. The Pinals
in the Pinal mountains, T0nto Basin
and Salt River region. The ella river
Apaches on the Gila river, and the
Mimbres in the Black mountains Of
New Mexico. Fiercest of all were the
Chiricahua Apaches who dwelt in the
Chiricahua and Dragon mountains
and the wide sweeps of the Sulphur
Springs and San Simon valleys adj
joining these mountain strongholds.
The numbers of these hostiles at the
beginning of the war was estimated at
10000 mastering some 5000 warriors.
And these Apaches waged war with
relentless ferocity, treachery and
cunning that is without a parallel in
frontier warfare Lurking along the
rim of the horizon and watching for
hours the dust clouds raised by ap-
preaching immigrant trains, they de-
scended on them in whir,wind attacks,
killing or putting to flight the travel
ers, and plundering and setting fire
to the captured wagons, they vanished
on their fleet ponies beyond the
mirages of the desert.
From the mountain tops the fleeing
red raiders watched for the dust clouds
far away on the desert raised by the
pursuing columns of cavalry, usually
encumbered with pack train, Indian

VOLSTEAD CASES BRING
$lO7,345 FINES FOR YEAR

Fines assessed in cases instituted
by federal prohibition officers in the
state during the past 12 months have
netted the government a total Of
$107 ,345, according to report issred
yesterday by Frank NJ. Pool. prohibi-
tion director for Arizona. Mr.. Pools
report covers the past fiscal year and
includes every arrest made and every
case tried during the year.
During the year, 772 cases have
been brought by the prohibition Off
GERS, all of which have been disposed
Of by the federal courts of the state.
Out of the cases called for trial Sc
persons were convicted by jurias, while
II cases resulted in verdict Of not
guilty. Mr.. Pool said this is an un-
usually high percentage of convictions
and that smuch of the success in the
cases was due to the painstaking care
taken by officers in preparing the
cases for trial. He declared that he
has been able to secure the coopera-
tion of every officer in the state who
has any connection with law enforce
ment during the year.
Pleas of guilty were entered in 430
cases, according to the report. In
these cases, the prohibition officers
did their work SO we'll, Mr.. Pool said
yesterday, that the defendants entered
pleas of guilty because of the small
chance they had of escaping conviction
if brought to trial.
The report shows that Ia men were
brought to trial during the past IL
months for their second cffense.
Eleven men were convicted after a
previous conviction and were sem
fenced to terms in the penitent ary.
The penitentiary sentences imposed
during the past year total II years,
while the Jail sentences aggregate 648
months.
The officers seized 81 automobiles
in the state which were being used in
the transportation of liquor during
the past IL months, according to the
report These automobiles were con-
fiscated by the government.
The total number of cases pending
trial on June 80 were 226.

ceede6 80 men into the most efficient
and mobile body ever known in the
annals Of the frontier.
Indians of friendly tribes have Of
ten been used to subdue hostile
Indians in our frontier wars. But
Sieber's work in organizing full blood
ed Apaches to war on their own kins-
men, which they did for Is years, his
control of these wild spirits, and the
grjmness, patience and military skill
with which he accomplished this
stamps him as the most extraordinary
man that our frontier has produced.
No hostile red raiders were long
able to elude Al Sieber and his scouts.
Riding light with no baggage, each
man well mounted and armed with
calbine and revolvers, living off the
country and ofttimes dressed only in
breechcloth andlmoccasins they trai ed
the hostiles across deserts and through
defile and forest and falling upon
them in their strongholds and killing
them with Indian ferocitv.
Always Sieber matched the Indian
cunning, tirelessness and tieachery of
his command against the same quali-
ties Of the hostiles Alert and vigil
liant as they, one day his command
would be scouting for hostile Indian
trails in the precipitous Galuros,
soon he would be along the Verde, in
the Sierra Ancha or up on the Mo-
gollon rim.
All this was due to one man by
reason Of his intimate insight into the
Indian character, the even balance of
his judgment, his military skill and
the grim determination of his spirit.
Due to his fearless courage. his stern
discipline and his infIexible will he
was called by the Indians, The Iron
Man.
Sieber's scouts were always ably
supported by detachments from the
various frontier posts, first under the
command of General Crook and later
under General Miles. But Siebafs
command were always the eyes of t'le
vengeance on the red warriors.
Outlines during the Apache war,
peace treaties were made with the
tribesmen only to be broken by the
treacherous Indians at the first favor
able opportunity. But at last in 1884
the Indians professed the futility Of
further resistance and signed peace
at old Fort Thomas. Among the
chiefs present were Geronimo. Loco,
Jlih and Natchis. Chiefs Iretaba, Da-
Chay-ya, Cochise, Natanes and Man
gust Colorado, sinister names in the
history of Arizona had died during
the war, that now seemed to be ended.
But this was not to be, for the fol-
lowing year despite liberal free ra-
tions issued them the Indians. grew
again restless and in the meantime
the garrisons at the various frontier
posts had been much reduced. An eye
witness still living thus describes the
scenes at TT. Thomas in the spring Of
1886.
Some 5000 or 1000 Indians rapidly
gathered along the Gila near the fort.
For 10 days they held big powwow
and war dance. Geronimo and his ir-
reconcilables counseled war while the
other chiefs including old Loco and
Juh were either silent or counseled
peace. Our garrison at the fort at
that time was but 86 cavalry and
Sieber's scouts. We expected any time
to be attacked, then the next thing we
knew was a report by scouts that
