M. P. FREEMAN</p> - -<p>A short time ago, idling through a -collection of early-day photographs, I -came across two that vividly recalled -the closing scenes in that bloody frontier -drama in which the Apache was -the chief actor. For many years the -relentless foe of the pioneer, wary, -tireless, cowardly and treacherous, he -was the very incarnation of fiendishness, -if possible, more pronounced in -the squaw than in the man. Never -meeting you in the open, always in ambush, -concealed behind the big granite -boulder, the point of a hill or a clump -of brush, he and his fellows patiently -awaited your solitary coming, all unconscious -of danger, then—the crack -of the rifle and it is all over. Today -he might be a “sniper”, but in the days -of his hellish activities the word had -not yet been given its more recently -enlarged meaning.</p> - -<h2>2000 Pioneers Victims of Apaches.</h2> - -<p>How many breakers of the wilderness, -hardy, fearless old-timers, were -sent to their final rest by this early -scourge of the desert, who can say! -Some place their number at two thousand, -some say more, others less. This -does not include the soldier boy, -whose profession it is to risk his life, -and when necessary, his duty, its sacrifice. -Of the number of these there -is probably a record somewhere, but of -the old pioneer, only an estimate. In -the valley, on the mesa and the hillside, -on the mountain-top and in the -deep shadows of the canyon, everywhere -this broad land is dotted with -their unknown and unmarked graves.</p> - -<p>Captain John G. Bourke, author of -“On the Border with Crook,” and “An -Apache Campaign,” who was with Gen. -Crook, tells us that the Apache “is no -coward, but that he has no false ideas -about courage, that he would prefer to -skulk like a coyote for hours and then -kill his enemy, rather than by injudicious -exposure receive a wound.” -May we not attribute to the chivalrous -spirit of Capt. Bourke, not to criticize -a foe, his delicate way of putting this?</p> - -<p>No, I do not recall that this early -plague of the old pioneer ever “injudiciously -exposed” himself unless driven -to it. “Skulking like the coyote,” as -Capt. Bourke so well expresses it, is -my conception of his bravery. If -forced to the open he would undoubtedly -make a brave fight, but I have never -heard of his voluntarily seeking that -open, meeting his enemy on anything -approaching equal terms.</p> - -<h2>Paris Adopts Name of Apache</h2> - -<p>Being over in Paris a few years ago, -a friend who had lived there a number -of years, and who was as familiar with -Paris from basement to roof-garden, as -I am with Congress street of our good -old town of Tucson, suggested one -evening that we visit the “Apaches”. -Expressing surprise that any of my -people should have wandered so far -from home, I suggested as a substitute -the Moulin Rouge. However, the -Apaches were agreed on, and in the -evening, my friend, bringing a policeman -with him, called for me at my -hotel.</p> - -<p>Arriving at the door of the -Apache rendezvous in due course, we -three—my friend, the policeman and -myself—are readily admitted, the presence -of our policeman assuring that, -and we find ourselves in an underground -dive, a large room with a low -ceiling, barely furnished, dimly lighted, -and reeking with the sour odor of stale -beer. Looking about the room, by the -dim light as it forces its way through -the dense gloom of tobacco smoke, we -are enabled to see two other policemen -besides our own—there are two -stationed there day and night—and a -score or more of the toughest-looking -lot of cut-throats I had ever had the -pleasure of coming in contact with. -This was the retreat, the gathering -place, of as bad a lot of thieves, thugs, -robbers, burglars and murderers as the -world could boast of, and Paris, in -seeking a name for them that would -embody all of these characteristics, -had searched the world over, and was -almost in despair of finding a single -word that would express all that is -mean, wantonly cruel, murderous and -cowardly, but at last attention was directed -to the Apache of Arizona, and -then it was discovered that the word -which would embody all that and more -had been found. And that was why I -was enabled to find some of my own -home people away off there in the -world’s center of fashion. Settling for -a few bottles of the vilest beer possible -to brew, as a tip to the house, I was -soon ready to ask my friend to call his -policeman and get us away from this -vile den.</p> - -<h2>Judge McComas and Wife Murdered.</h2> - -<p>It is scarcely more than a quarter of -a century, March, 1883, since Judge McComas, -his wife and their little son -Charlie, about seven years of age, coming -from Silver City, New Mexico, to -Lordsburg, were ambushed by a band -of Apaches from San Carlos, the Judge -and his wife killed, and poor little -Charlie carried off to the Sierra Madres -in Mexico, where, a few years later, an -Apache squaw reported that on their -camp being attacked by United States -troops, Charlie, being frightened, ran -off into the mountains, where he is supposed -to have died of hunger and exposure.</p> - -<p>It was during this same year that a -band passing over the Whetstone -range of mountains killed a teamster -and two of his men and a wood-chopper, -who were furnishing wood for the -Total Wreck mine.</p> - -<p>On July 3, 1885, Frank Peterson, who -was carrying the United States mail -between Crittenden and Lochiel, was -killed by the Indians while returning -from Lochiel to Crittenden. A sad feature -in connection with this killing was -that he had just been married.</p> - -<h2>Dr. Davis Shot to Death.</h2> - -<p>On June 3, 1886, Dr. C. H. Davis, a -brother of W. C. Davis, of Tucson, coming -from the San Pedro river over the -pass between the Catalinas and the -Rincons, with a wagon and span of -mules, was waylaid and killed by a -band of these outlaws. J. P. Hohusen -and W. H. Wheaton, coming from their -homes on the San Pedro the day before, -met Dr. Davis going out, and -warned him against the Indians, but -having been in the country but a short -time, he failed to appreciate the danger -and made light of the warning.</p> - -<p>It was subsequently learned that -Hohusen and Wheaton narrowly escaped -this same band themselves as they -were coming in to Tucson. When Hohusen -returned home he learned from -his man that the Indians had been at -his place the night before the killing -of Davis, and attempted to drive off -some of his horses from the pasture; -but the man, seizing his rifle, jumped -into a well which was partly caved in -and which naturally furnished him an -excellent defensive position, and from -this he fired at the Indians, but without -apparent effect other than to force -them to leave the place. After the -killing of Dr. Davis, the Indians, taking -the two mules, went to Walter -Vail’s Happy Valley ranch, in the Rincons, -where they left the mules in exchange -for a bunch of Vail’s -horses, shooting, but not killing, -Cal Mathews, the herder. From -Happy Valley they passed south -into the Whetstones, where they -shot and killed Marcus Goldbaum. -Edward L. Vail, one of the party going -out to the scene of the killing, found -that the Indians had been gone but a -few hours, having also killed a partner -of Goldbaum as he was en route to -Benson.</p> - -<h2>Little Boy Taken From Gastelo Ranch.</h2> - -<p>It was not long prior to this that a -band working back from the Sierra -Madres to the San Carlos reservation -attacked the ranch of Juan Gastelo, -not over fifteen miles from Tucson, -near Tanque Verde, and carried off -with them a little Mexican boy. The -news coming to town, a volunteer company -was immediately formed by M. G. -Samaniego (now dead) and R. N. -Leatherwood, our Bob. Samaniego, -having had a brother killed by the -Apaches a few years before, was more -than keen for an opportunity to avenge -his death. The volunteer company, led -by Leatherwood and Samaniego, came -upon the band, encamped in the -neighborhood of Tanque Verde. The -Indians, however, being alarmed by -the premature firing of a gun, scattered -like a flock of quail and got away, -but the boy, escaping, was recovered -by the volunteers.</p> - -<p>On another occasion a band, killing -a rancher named Lloyd, four miles -north of Pantano, stole the horses of -Ed Vail and George Scholefield, near -Rosemont, and passing on south, killed -a man named Wimple, near Greaterville.</p> - -<h2>Mexicans Attack and Rob Wheaton.</h2> - -<p>A trying experience in the life of -Wheaton, who narrowly escaped the -band that killed Dr. Davis, was when -four Mexicans came to his ranch on -the San Pedro river one evening, he -being entirely alone at the time, and -demanded his money, which they said -they knew him to have from the sale -of some hogs. He, however, denying -that he had any money, they proceeded -to put a rope round his neck, and -strung him up three or four times, -each time demanding that he tell -where the money was concealed, and -he still denying that he had any. During -all this time they were trying to -find where the money was hidden, and -finally discovered it, about $60, in the -window casing. Then the question -was debated as to what they should -do with Wheaton; whether or not they -should kill him. This they evidently -hesitated to do, but finally decided to -take him out and throw him into his -well, probably having in mind that -this would not kill him, but would -make him a close prisoner for a time. -On taking him to the well, however, -they found it to be a bored one and -therefore only eight or ten inches in -diameter. Of course this frustrated -that plan, and they returned him to the -house, and throwing him on his bed, -proceeded to tie him, and after threatening -to kill him in case he at any time -made them any trouble over the affair, -they left him. As soon as they were -gone Wheaton succeeded in releasing -himself and went to the home of J. P. -Hohusen, not far away, naturally nearly -prostrated from his fright and the -terrible ordeal through which he had -just passed. The next day Wheaton, -accompanied by Ira Davis, a brother of -Dr. Davis, came to Tucson and reported -the case to Judge C. H. Meyer, an -old-time justice of the peace.</p> - -<h2>“Old Charley Meyer,” Law Unto Himself.</h2> - -<p>Old Charlie Meyer, as he was familiarly -called, was indeed a character, -and had the well-earned reputation of -meeting out justice with an iron hand, -and, due in a large measure to his eccentric -methods of administering justice, -was quite popular with the well -meaning, but certainly a terror to the -evil-doer. Judge Meyer’s conception -of justice and the language of the -statutes frequently failed to be in full -harmony, but that, of course, was not -a matter for which he was responsible, -and should not, and did not, interfere -in the slightest degree with the administration -of justice in his court. Meyer -recalled that four Mexicans had that -same day come into his court and, by -the deposit of $60 as bail, had secured -the release of their friend, one El -Zorra, who was being held for some -offense, having been unable until then -to secure bail. Three of these four -men were immediately found and arrested. -The fourth, having started for -Mexico, was followed by the officers -and overtaken at Boley’s Well, where, -in resisting arrest, he was shot and -killed by Bob Cannon, one of the officers. -On trial of the other three, Hohusen -was able to fully identify one -of the bills in the $60 turned in to -Judge Meyer’s court as one that he had -personally paid to Wheaton a few days -before. In addition to this, one of the -men, Pancho Gomez, having turned -state’s evidence, they were all three -convicted and sentenced to the Territorial -prison, Gomez, however, for a -shorter term than the others.</p> - -<h2>“Tommy Gates Displays Magnificent -Nerve.”</h2> - -<p>While serving their terms, on October -27, 1887, in an attempted outbreak -at the prison, in which these men participated, -the prisoners succeeded in -getting hold of the superintendent of -the prison, Thomas Gates, familiarly -known as Tommy Gates, and threatened -to take his life if he permitted the -guards to fire on them. Notwithstanding -this, he ordered the guards to fire, -when one of the Wheaton convicts, one -Puebla, thrust a knife first into his -shoulder and then into his back, seriously -but not fatally wounding him. -Barney Riggs, a life-termer, then succeeded -in getting hold of a pistol, shot -and killed Puebla, and for this was -subsequently pardoned out, in response -to the almost unanimous sentiment of -the Territory. In the emeute four of -the prisoners were killed outright, and -Tommy Gates’s display of nerve on the -occasion goes into history as a heroic -example of self sacrifice in the discharge -of duty.</p> - -<h2>Brutal Murder of Mrs. Peck and Baby.</h2> - -<p>On April 27, 1886, a band of Indians -appeared at the ranch of A. L. Peck, -about twenty miles from Oro Blanco, -where they found Mrs. Peck, her baby, -about eleven months old, and her -niece, Jenny, a young girl of about 11 -years. Killing Mrs. Peck and the baby, -they took the young girl away with -them. It was asserted by some at the -time, including Peck himself, that the -leader of this band was Geronimo, but -I think this could hardly have been -possible, for the reason that the leader -was too young and spoke good English, -whereas Geronimo did not speak English. -In giving the “Story of His Life” -to S. M. Barrett, at Fort Sill, not many -years ago, it had to be done through -an interpreter. Besides, Geronimo had -escaped from General Crook, sixty-five -miles south of Fort Bowie and 125 -miles east of Oro Blanco, on the night -of March 29th, only a month previous, -and gone into the Sierra Madre mountains. -It is my opinion that Geronimo -was never seen in Arizona subsequent -to that time until he surrendered to -General Miles and was brought to Fort -Bowie the following September.</p> - -<p>At the time of the killing of Mrs. -Peck, Peck and a young man by the -name of Charles Owen were a mile or -two away from the house, both being -mounted but unarmed, and were in the -act of catching a steer. The Indians -surprising them, Peck’s horse was shot -from under him and he was captured -and held prisoner. Owen, being well -mounted, made a dash for his life, but -ran into another part of the same -band. His horse was shot from under -him, and Owen himself was shot -through the neck and arm, killing him -instantly. Those that had Peck were -apparently waiting for their leader for -instructions as to what to do with him. -The leader soon coming up, after taking -from Peck his boots, knife and tobacco, -they released him, telling him, -however, not to go home. Before releasing -him, one of the Indians, for -some unexplainable reason, gave him -65 cents in money. A squaw with this -band had little Jenny on a horse with -her. Jenny was crying bitterly, and -when Peck attempted to talk with her -the Indians intervened and prevented -his doing so. About six weeks later -she was rescued from the Indians by -some Mexican cowboys, at a point -about forty miles from Magdalena, Sonora, -where she was delivered to Peck, -who had gone after her. As soon as -released, Peck went directly home, -where he found his wife and baby lying -dead.</p> - -<h2>Shanahan Killed, “Yank” Bartlett -Wounded.</h2> - -<p>The day following the killing -of Mrs. Peck and her baby, John -Shanahan, who was unarmed, left -“Yank” Bartlett’s ranch in Bear -Valley, about eight miles from Oro -Blanco, for his own place, about -three miles distant, leaving at the -ranch with Bartlett his little son Phil, -about ten years of age, who was there -visiting Johnnie Bartlett, of about the -same age. Shanahan had been gone -but about ten minutes, when Johnnie -ran into the room where his father -was, telling him that he had just heard -three shots, and that he thought maybe -the Indians had shot the “old man”. -Bartlett, who had not heard of the Indians -being in the vicinity, scouted -the idea, but on going outside saw -Shanahan approaching, and ran to him -and assisted him into the house, Shanahan -telling him that the Indians had -shot him. Bartlett immediately seized -his gun, and on going to the door a -bullet fired by one of the Indians whistled -past his head. There were but -three of the Indians, but having placed -themselves in different positions, it -was hardly possible for Bartlett to get -a shot at them without exposing himself -to their fire, and one shot from -them passing through his shoulder, -only missed the head of Johnnie by -about an inch, blinding him from the -dust of the adobe wall as the bullet -struck it. The fight between Bartlett -and the three Indians was kept up -until dark. Shanahan, fatally wounded, -was constantly calling out for water. -Bartlett thinks that in the fight he -wounded one of the Indians.</p> - -<h2>Little Phil Saves Mother and Sisters</h2> - -<p>Shanahan’s story is that a short time -after leaving the house, being totally -unconscious of any danger, he was suddenly -shot by an Indian, whom he then -saw only about thirty feet away. Picking -up a rock and starting for the Indian, -Shanahan received another shot -from behind that knocked him down, -but he was immediately up again and -ran back for the house, Bartlett meeting -and assisting him in. Shanahan -saw but two Indians, and said he could -have killed both if he had had a gun. -During the time Bartlett was keeping -the Indians at bay, realizing the danger -of Mrs. Shanahan and her two -young daughters, at their home three -miles away, he told Phil, Shanahan’s -little son, to steal out of the house by -a back way and go to his home and -notify his mother of their danger and -of the shooting of his father. Phil demurred -at first, wanting to stay with -his father, who was suffering intensely, -but being told that unless he went his -mother and little sisters would surely -be killed, the little fellow courageously -said he would try to get to them, and -good fortune favoring him, he succeeded -in doing so. Finding them in the -garden, they all, including Phil, immediately -started for the mountains, -where they concealed themselves until -the following day. In the meantime -the Indians had come to the house and -carried off or wrecked everything in it, -and would undoubtedly have killed -Mrs. Shanahan and the two little girls -had not brave little Phil, at the risk of -his life, warned them of the danger.</p> - -<h2>Brave Little Johnnie Bartlett.</h2> - -<p>Bartlett kept the Indians off until -dark, when it is probable they left, as -they were not seen again. Soon after -dark, Bartlett told Johnnie that he -must go to Oro Blanco and notify the -people of the shooting of Shanahan -and himself, and that Shanahan was -probably dying. When little Johnnie -was told that he must do this, like the -little hero he was, he simply said: “All -right, papa,” and immediately started, -first taking off his shoes and going -barefoot the first mile or two, to avoid -making any sound. Johnnie, on foot, -reached Oro Blanco, eight miles away, -about two o’clock in the morning and -gave the alarm. A posse was immediately -made up and started for the -scene of the troubles, where they found -Shanahan dead and Bartlett wounded, -and the Indians evidently gone.</p> - -<h2>General Crook Relieved.</h2> - -<p>Gen. George Crook came to Arizona -in 1870, remaining in command of the -department here until 1875, when he -was transferred to the department of -the Platte, and was reassigned and returned -to Arizona in 1882. In 1886, -evidently taking exception to an implied -criticism from the Department -at Washington, and, as he expressed -it, “having spent nearly eight years of -the hardest work of his life in this department”, -he asked to be relieved. -Crook was criticized in Arizona at the -time for a too abiding faith in the loyalty -of his Indian scouts, and many of -us believed this criticism to be fully -justified. There is hardly a doubt that -much of the ammunition used by the -renegades was supplied them by these -same scouts. It was but a few months -prior to Crook’s being relieved that -Capt. Crawford, a zealous and gallant -officer, while engaged in his thankless -task of ridding their own country of -these pests, was treacherously killed -by Mexican irregular troops in the -Sierra Madre mountains. It is true -that these irregular troops were Tarahumari -Indians, possibly as wild and -uncontrollable as the Apaches themselves, -and that may extenuate the -treachery to some extent, but the fact -remains that the officers in command -were not Indians, but Mexicans.</p> - -<h2>Geronimo Surrenders to General Miles.</h2> - -<p>On April 2, 1886, Gen. Miles, superseding -Crook, took command of the -Department of Arizona, and in his -“Personal Recollections” he speaks of -finding here, stationed at Fort Huachuca, -a “fair-haired, blue-eyed young -man of great intellect, manly qualities -and resolute spirit, a splendid type of -American manhood”. This “fair-haired, -blue-eyed young man” of 1886 was -at the time Assistant Surgeon in the -Army. He is now Major General Leonard -Wood, late Chief of Staff, U. S. -Army.</p> - -<p>On the 4th of September following -Miles’s assuming command, Geronimo -and his band surrendered to him, and -on September 8th they left Fort Bowie -for Fort Marion, Florida. The point -of surrender to Miles was at Skeleton -canyon, in Mexico, about 65 miles -south of Fort Bowie. The surrender of -Geronimo may be fixed as the date of -the termination of the many years of -warfare between the whites and the -Apaches as a tribe, a warfare marked -with a cruelty on the part of the -Apaches probably unparalleled in the -history of the four hundred years of -strife between the whites on the one -side and the redman on the other.</p> - -<h2>Apache Kid Begins Bloody Career.</h2> - -<p>I have said that the surrender of -Geronimo terminated the many years -of bloody warfare with the Apaches as -a tribe, but the Indian tribes may, and -do, have outlaws in their own tribe, -outlaws for whom as a tribe they are -in no way responsible, and for whose -acts the individual and not the tribe -should alone be held amenable. Even -the white tribe is not altogether immune -from this infliction. In this -class, among others, was the “Apache -Kid”, who, following the surrender of -Geronimo, with a few lawless followers -made independent warfare on isolated, -helpless settlers, leaving the footprints -of his bloody work wherever he went. -The Kid, sometimes called the Apache -Kid, and at others simply Kid, was an -Apache scout occupying the position of -sergeant under Al Sieber, chief of -scouts. On June 1, 1887, the Kid shot -Sieber on the San Carlos reservation, -wounding but not killing him, and this -marks the beginning of Kid’s series of -bloody crimes.</p> - -<p>Immediately following the shooting -of Sieber, Kid, his squaw and sixteen -other Indians, left the reservation.</p> - -<h2>Capt. Burgess, Old-Time Scout</h2> - -<p>An interesting old-time scout is Captain -John D. Burgess, who came to -Arizona in 1873 to look after some -mining interests for General Kautz and -Colonel Biddle of the army, subsequently -becoming a guide and scout -for the government, and in 1882 was -chief of Indian police at San Carlos. -At the time the Kid started out on his -career, Captain Burgess was working -some mines of his own at Table Mountain, -in the Galiura mountains. The -officer in command of the troops sent -out from San Carlos in pursuit of the -Kid and his followers, knowing Burgess, -immediately secured his services -as guide and trailer. Following the -Kid and his band, they trailed them -through to Pantano, where they had -crossed the railroad, and going up -Davidson’s canyon, and passing E. L. -Vail’s ranch had accommodated themselves -to a bunch of his horses. Passing -down the east side of the Santa -Ritas, they killed Mike Grace, an old -miner, near old Camp Crittenden. Here -Captain Lawton, with a troop of the -4th Cavalry, heading them off and forcing -them to turn back, they passed by -Mountain Springs, near the present -Vail station, and were run over the -Rincon mountains, where they were so -closely pursued that while in camp -they lost all the horses they had stolen. -They now headed for the reservation, -which they succeeded in reaching before -Lieutenant Carter Johnson, who -was immediately behind, could overtake -them, and here they surrendered, -and in due course were tried and sent -first to San Diego barracks, passing -through Tucson on September 3rd, and -subsequently, in February, 1888, were -transferred to Fort Alcatraz, in the bay -of San Francisco. Subsequently, the -United States Supreme Court, having -decided that the trial of an Indian devolved -on the county in which the -crime was committed, ordered that all -Indians sentenced by other than the -territorial courts should be returned -to the Territory and tried by such -courts. Under this order the Kid and -several others were returned and tried -by Judge Kibbey, at Globe, and on -October 30, 1889, sentenced to imprisonment -at Yuma, and were being taken -there by Sheriff Reynolds and his Deputy, -“Hunky-Dory” Holmes. They were -being conveyed by stage over the Pinal -mountains, via Riverside and Florence. -In the stage were Reynolds, Holmes, a -Mexican who was also being taken to -Yuma, the Kid and seven other Indians, -and Eugene Middleton the driver -of the stage, making twelve in all.</p> - -<h2>Killing of Sheriff and Deputy and Escape -of Kid</h2> - -<p>The Indians were handcuffed together, -two and two, and had shackles on -their ankles. They stopped over night -at Riverside, about half-way between -Globe and Florence. Leaving Riverside -early on the morning of November -2nd, while passing up a heavy sand-wash, -the pulling being quite heavy, in -order to relieve the team, the two officers -and six of the Indians got out to -walk, the Indians probably having had -their shackles loosened from at least -one ankle to enable them to do so; the -Kid and one of the Indians still remaining -in the stage. Suddenly the six Indians -that were walking seized the two -officers, whom they overpowered and -killed with their own guns. As soon as -Middleton discovered what was taking -place, drawing his own revolver and -covering the Kid and the other Indian -still in the stage, he kept them quiet -until, on standing up to look back, he -was shot through the face by one of -the other Indians. In the meantime -the Mexican, taking advantage of the -opportunity, escaped. Middleton, although -badly wounded, was not killed; -the Indians, however, evidently thought -he was dead. He was, however, sufficiently -conscious to realize what was -taking place and avoided disabusing -their minds of their belief, and in due -course was rescued and taken to Globe, -where he finally fully recovered.</p> - -<p>The eight Indians, now armed with -a shot-gun, a Winchester rifle, and -three revolvers, partly stripping Middleton -and the two officers, hastened -to get away. Stories of the manner of -their relieving themselves of their -shackles do not agree. One story is -that, finding a blacksmith-shop near -the mouth of the San Pedro river, they -succeeded in cutting the shackles -loose. Middleton’s statement is that, -finding the keys in the pockets of the -Sheriff, they easily freed themselves -of their irons, and the plausibility of -this is quite evident, as the officers -must necessarily have had the keys -with them. After their escape the Indians -are supposed to have come along -the west side of the Catalina mountains, -and passed near the Half-way -House, between Tucson and Fort Lowell, -as their tracks were seen there -crossing the road, going south.</p> - -<h2>Sword Presented to General Miles.</h2> - -<p>The people of Arizona, having been -finally and, it was felt, permanently relieved -of this black incubus that had -been hanging over them for the many -years dating back to their early coming -to the Territory, and General Miles -having contributed so largely to the -result, decided to do something marking -their appreciation of the services -rendered them, and this found expression -in the presentation of a sword. -Through a popular subscription a magnificent -sword costing $1000 was procured -through Tiffany & Company of -New York, the blade being of the finest -steel, beautifully etched, and the hilt -of solid gold. The presentation took -place on November 8th, 1887, at Levin’s -Park, at the foot of Pennington -street. It was originally intended that -the ceremony should take place on September -4th, the anniversary of the -surrender of Geronimo, but that day -falling on a Sunday, it was fixed for -Monday the 5th. General Miles, however, -having been injured by the overturning -of the carriage in which he -was out riding at Santa Monica, California, -on August 8th, the presentation -was delayed until the date named. -Many notables in our country, also the -Governors of neighboring Mexican -States, were invited to be present. A -distinguishing feature in the very long -procession leading to the Park was -three hundred mounted Papagos, under -their chief, Asuncion Ruiz, in all -their barbaric splendor of feathers and -paint. The Papagos had always been -the consistent friends of the whites -and the inveterate foes of the Apaches, -so they were more than glad to participate -in this event. In addition to -the conventional combination usually -found in parades, there were the 4th -U. S. cavalry band and a platoon of -United States artillery, William Zeckendorf, -one of the very early pioneers, -acting as grand marshal. One of the -photographs suggesting this article is -of this procession, evidently taken -from the roof of one of the buildings -on the west side of Main street, looking -up Pennington street, and shows -the parade the full length of the street, -the head not having quite reached -Main street. The presentation was -made on a platform erected for the -purpose in the Park. Royal A. Johnson -was president of the day, I having -the honor of acting as secretary, and -Judge W. H. Barnes making the presentation -address. One of my duties -as secretary was to read the letters of -regret from those who had been invited -but were unable to be present. -Among these I now recall letters from -Secretary of War Wm. C. Endicott, -Gen. Sherman, and R. G. Ingersoll. -Among those present were Major -Chaffee, subsequently Lieutenant General, -and Lieutenant Wood, now Major -General. The other of the two photographs -is of General Miles and those -on the platform with him, taken as -the general was delivering his address -accepting the sword. In the evening, -following the presentation, there was a -reception and ball at the San Xavier -hotel, since burned down, near the -station; this hotel at the time was -kept by Wheeler and Perry.</p> - -<h2>Johnny Greenleaf Mistakes Scouts for -Kid.</h2> - -<p>As illustrating the trying experiences -that one might be subject to during -these troublous times when the -fear of the Kid was in the very air, I -may relate one of a friend of mine, -Johnny Greenleaf. Johnny was sinking -a well on his ranch, some distance -from the house, and had just ridden -to where his two men were at work, -one in the well and the other on top. -Suddenly a number of Indians came in -sight, approaching the well. Recognizing -them as Apaches, he naturally -assumed them to be the Kid and some -of his followers, and obeying the instinct -of human nature, that of self-preservation, -cried out, “Here comes -the Kid!” quickly mounted his horse -and started to escape. He had gone -but a short distance, however, till that -chivalrous spirit which makes one sacrifice -his own life rather than cowardly -desert his comrade, asserted itself, and -he immediately turned and rode back -to his men, both of whom were now on -top, realizing at the same time that -there was absolutely nothing that he -could do, neither he nor his men having -a shooting-iron of any kind, all of -their weapons having been left at the -house. The Indians now approaching -the well, Johnny asked them in English -what they were hunting and where -they were going. One of them, speaking -English very poorly, in trying to -make himself understood mentioned -the Kid in such a way that Johnny understood -him to say that he was the -Apache Kid. This simply confirmed -what Johnny had thought, but it so -startled him that for a while he could -barely speak; for if this were the Kid, -there was little chance for the lives of -either Johnny or his men. Finally, recovering -his nerve and asking something -else, the Indian succeeded in -making it understood that they were -scouts from San Carlos and were seeking -the Kid. You can well imagine the -relief of the three men when they -realized that they were in no danger.</p> - -<h2>What Would You Do?</h2> - -<p>I think I hear one of my readers -saying that Johnny’s attempt to escape -was a cowardly thing to do. Yes? -What would you have done, and what -would I, under the same circumstances? -Unless idiotic, or too frightened -to mount the horse, we would have -done just what Johnny did. Assuming -that this had been the Kid, as Johnny -firmly believed, his escape meant the -loss of but two lives, instead of the -loss of the same two and the sacrifice -of a third—his own—if he remained. -But no man knows just exactly what -he would do under a certain trying -condition until he has been subjected -to the test of that very condition. He -may think he does, but he doesn’t. But -having gone less than 100 yards, -Johnny’s mind has had time to react, -and the chivalrous spirit asserts itself, -and he turns and rides back—to what? -To his death, he has every reason to -believe. But having gotten the 100 -yards away, would you or I have turned -and ridden back to our own certain -death? Is there not a possibility that -were the world wide enough and the -horse strong enough we might still be -going? In your imagination don’t -place the standard too high for the -nerve you think you possess, if at the -time you are absolutely in no danger.</p> - -<h2>Stoicism of Indian</h2> - -<p>The following incident shows something -of the character of these Ishmaelites -of the desert. On one occasion -five of them had been tried at Florence -for the killing of someone in the -Superstition mountains, and sentenced -to be hanged. The night previous to -the day of the hanging, while in their -cells, with the death-watch outside, -three of them, to avoid the ignominy -of death by hanging, committed suicide -by self-strangulation. This they -could do only by each putting a cord -around his neck and deliberately choking -himself to death. The three were -found dead in the morning when the -guards entered their cells.</p> - -<p>Of course it is not possible to recall -the names of all of the many whose -lives were a sacrifice to the safety and -prosperity of the great commonwealth -that was to follow, but I have in mind -that on June 7, 1886, Thos. Hunt, a -prospector, was killed near Harshaw, -and on June 9 of the same year Henry -Baston was killed near Arivaca. On -September 22, 1888, W. B. Horton, post -trader at San Carlos, was killed by one -of the Indians on the reservation. But -in this case punishment was swift, as -the Indian police almost immediately -killed the murderer while he was attempting -to escape from the reservation.</p> - -<h2>“Walapai” Clark and the Kid</h2> - -<p>One of our early frontier characters -was E. A. Clark, familiarly known as -“Walapai”, having gained the title -years ago when in the government service -as chief of the Hualapai scouts. -Clark was a giant in stature, measuring -six feet three, absolutely fearless -and in those olden times equally tireless. -Coming to the Territory in ’69, -his life and experiences here would fill -a volume of intensely interesting reading, -but in this limited article I can -mention only a few of his closing Indian -experiences, the culminating one—the -one of the greatest service to -the Territory—resulting in the death -of that outlaw and terror of the border, -this same Apache Kid. Clark’s first -experience with the Kid was on June -3, 1887, two days after his shooting of -Al Sieber. At the time, Clark was living -at his ranch, the Oak Grove, in the -Galiura mountains, about twelve miles -east of the San Pedro river, but was -absent, his two partners, John Scanlan -and William Diehl, being at home. The -Kid and his followers coming across -the country from San Carlos, stole -fifteen horses from William Atchley, -then came on to Clark’s place, three -miles further on. At the time, Diehl -was about 150 yards from the house, -cutting some poles for a corral, when -Scanlan, who was in the house, heard -three shots, and, seizing his gun, ran -out, and as he did so saw three Indians -coming towards the house, and firing -at them, they immediately sought shelter. -When Scanlan fired at the Indians -one of them lost a big sombrero which -he was wearing, and which, probably -very much to his regret, he was unable -to recover. They then rounded up a -number of Scanlan’s horses, not far -away, and seemingly tried to get Scanlan -to come out to protect his horses, -and thus enable them to get a shot at -him; but being unable to do this, they -left, taking the horses with them. As -soon as they had gone, Scanlan went -to where Diehl was and found him -dead, the Indians having shot him.</p> - -<h2>Clark Vows Vengeance</h2> - -<p>Clark, returning home a day or two -later and finding his partner dead, -vowed vengeance on the Kid, and this, -several years later, he found opportunity -to gratify. A few months later, -Clark and Scanlan having occasion to -be away, left a young engineer, J. A. -Mercer, at the house, with a caution to -be on the lookout for the Indians. Soon -after, Mercer discovered three of them -crawling up towards the house, but -was in time to seize a rifle and fire at -them, and as he did so they broke and -ran. However, they took five of Clark’s -horses in exchange for three of their -own, which they killed before leaving.</p> - -<p>For several years Clark impatiently -bided his time. To him the mills of -the gods were, indeed, grinding slowly, -but they were grinding, and the time -was approaching when the grist should -be delivered. In the meantime the Kid -was continuing to lengthen his trail of -blood. Now here, now there, the wily -outlaw was ever at his work. A murder -here today, he is heard of one hundred -miles away tomorrow, leaving a -trail behind him marked by where he -had changed his mount by the stealing -of a new one at some ranch, leaving -his old one dead, in exchange. This -was his practice, killing the animal -he might leave by stabbing in the side, -thus avoiding the sacrifice of any of -his ammunition, which he could ill afford -to lose. Being an outlaw with his -own people, he found it difficult to replenish -his belt.</p> - -<h2>Kid Nears End of His Trail of Blood</h2> - -<p>But at last the end of his career of -robbery and bloodshed is approaching. -The opportunity that Clark has been -waiting all these years is nigh at hand. -The Apache Kid’s race is about run. -Clark had been away from home, and -when returning, on February 4, 1894, -passing by the house of Emmerson, a -neighbor, about a mile from his own -home, he noticed the tracks of three -Indians about the house, and going inside, -found they had robbed it of its -contents. Going on home, he found his -partner, Scanlan, whom the Indians -had not disturbed, and said to him, -“Scanlan, your old friend the Kid has -been around again.”</p> - -<p>Soon after, Clark, taking his gun, -went out of the house for the purpose -of “scouting the country around” and -seeing whether he might get sight of -the Indians. Going to the top of a -peak near by, where he could overlook -the surrounding country without unduly -exposing himself, he awaited -events, not realizing what an approaching -one should mean to himself, and to -an old enemy on whom he had vowed -vengeance for the death of his old-time -partner, and that this event would -mark an era in a life ever filled with -its dangers, not one of which had ever -been shirked, but always bravely met. -The opportunity for which he had -waited, and in his way—a way probably -familiar only to the “old scout”—had -prayed for, was but a few short -hours away. The language of his prayers, -except for its fervency, may not -have been up to the orthodox standard, -but he knew what he wanted, and in -asking for it used the language with -which he was familiar—the language -of the desert and the mountain, the -camp-fire and the trail.</p> - -<h2>Closing Act in Great Drama</h2> - -<p>Clark had been there for probably -twenty minutes, when, looking off -across an intervening canyon, he noticed -three Indians approaching his -horse where it was grazing, about 1500 -yards away. The Indians not having -discovered Clark, who, knowing it -would be impossible to get across the -canyon in time to save his horse, -raised the sights of his gun, and fired -at them, not expecting, however, to -hit any one of them at that distance, -but hoping to frighten them away from -his horse. On firing, Clark immediately -ducked into the canyon, out of sight -of the Indians, who were evidently -frightened by the shot. Waiting there -until dusk, he cautiously crawled towards -his horse for the purpose of taking -him to the house, and was within -about seventy-five yards of him, it being -too dark to see an object distinctly -at any distance, when he saw two Indians -approaching the horse, and only a -few steps from the animal and about -50 yards from where Clark was. Owing -to the darkness it was impossible to -more than distinguish the two Indians, -who were but a few feet apart, one -ahead of the other. These were subsequently -found to be the Kid and his -squaw, the squaw in front and nearest -to Clark, but owing to the darkness it -was impossible to distinguish one from -the other. Clark instantly raised his -gun and fired at the one nearest to -him, but, being unable to see the -sights, could only take a quick aim -along the barrel. By his long experience -with a gun he knew the danger -of overshooting in the dark, and made -allowance accordingly. As Clark fired -there came a simultaneous report from -the Kid’s rifle and an outcry from the -squaw, and from the character of this -outcry, Clark knew that he had made -the mistake of firing at the wrong Indian. -The ball from the Kid’s gun -whistled alarmingly close to Clark’s -head, but fortunately did no harm. Following -the shots, the two Indians immediately -dropped to the ground, and -as fast as the old scout could work his -rifle he “pumped the lead” into where -they had dropped, firing several shots. -The Indian, however, fired but the one -shot. Clark then made a run for his -horse, but the animal being frightened, -he was unable to catch him.</p> - -<p>Not knowing how many of the Indians -there might be about, Clark immediately -set out for Mammoth, on the -San Pedro, where he procured a small -posse, and was back at the scene of the -shooting by morning, finding the squaw -dead a short distance from where she -had been shot. Following the Kid’s -trail, they found that he had hopped on -one foot to where he had left his horse, -one of his legs evidently being broken. -Scouts from San Carlos, following his -trail, found some bloody rags where he -had built a little fire, and probably -dressed his wounds.</p> - -<h2>Kid’s Career Ended</h2> - -<p>Thus ended the murderous career of -the Kid, the terror of the Southwest. -Clark had undoubtedly hit him with -one or more of his shots. Where or -how soon after he may have died, no -white man knows, Clark being the last -one to see him, as the two shots simultaneously -rang out on the silence of -that night. Had it been the Kid instead -of the squaw, Clark would have -earned the large reward that was offered -for him dead or alive. Tom -Horn, an old scout, who spoke the -Apache language like a native, came -from Denver subsequently, hoping that -by some chance the Kid might still be -living somewhere and that he might -earn the reward. The mother and the -sister, however, both assured him that -the Kid was dead, but beyond this -would say nothing.</p> - -<p>It would seem that there could be no -more fitting ending to this little sketch -than its dedication to the memory of -those old-timers, makers of early-day -history, the old pioneers. Each well -played his individual part in that great -border drama. On them the curtain -has rung down for the last time. To -them the succeeding generations owe -much.</p> - -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<div class="transnote"> -<p class="ph1">TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES:</p> - -<p>Obvious typographical errors have been corrected.</p> - -<p>Inconsistencies in hyphenation have been standardized.</p> - -<p>Archaic or variant spelling has been retained.</p> -</div></div> - -<div style='display:block; margin-top:4em'>*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE DREAD APACHE ***</div> -<div style='text-align:left'> - -<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> -Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will -be renamed. -</div> - -<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
