It ( jives o sketch of the Arizona In
dian troabluj , allTjjlug in color aomo
what from thousual narratives : ,
Iti 1872-3 , after a oainpjjgn of un-
parillud auccnai by Geuoral Orookaud
hlj command , the result o ! mucli
hardship on the part of the troopo ,
nil the Apichca , oxcapt a portion of
thu Ohliicihnap , wcro whipped and
driven In upon reservations. The
Ohlti ihna3 were permitted to pita
from the control of Gonornl Crook
through the notion of General How
ard , who mndo hla nppoarauce at r.
critical tlrao on bahalf of the govern
ment and "by the Rtaco of Gjd. "
Sabseqaunt events have Bhorn that
the oxooptlon made In behalf of these
ludiaua wiJ most unfortunate , However -
ever , thti Inletf ttnmcvj did not jextond
any further , tor which the poopb of
Arizona may bo tru > y thankful.
The management and control of the
Indiana who were forced on roaorva
tloua uox- . occupied the attoutlou of
'General Ofook The problem was not
fta ua y ouo , for however thoroughly
ha may bo Imion , the Indian soon
grows Impitleut under coercion , and
his wild nature oacka to throw off all
restraint ; ho Is aa "restless as the an-
turun leaf. "
The writer , who vlallod Fort
Apaoho In 1874 , at which plnoo wora
held about 13,000 Ooyoturo Aptchos ,
betome thoroughly acquainted irith
tha policy Inaugurated by Gjucra'
'Crook , vdiloh , brUily stated , was to
.placa the Indiana on reservations ao
nearly aa pohslble to their liking aud
tribal relations ; teach them the advau
tc rts of pcaod and discipline aud to
bicama Balf oupportlng. Tribes bo-
tireon whom there were animosities
and prejudices were separated. To
bring thum together in the beginning
might cause trouble. Another and an
.inipjrt&nt military reason for keeping
them eepatatod waa that the Boon's en
listed from trlbea at the dlflfcren
military reservations conld ba em
ployed or pitted against the Indiana o
other reservatlpna more advauta
gooualy and with greater dependent
upon their loyaltyln cae of an pat
break. In fact , It foatered a epirit o
otoulation between the soonta of th
dtlY'rent reservations , which was do
.otrtd at that time.
A STRICT CALL OF THE ROLL.
The garrison at Fort Apache the :
constated of two companies of cavalry
two companies of infantry and on
company of Indian aconta , a total o
about 240. The Indians , who wen
tinder the control of the post com
mander , were encamped in the irame
duto vicinity of the post. They wen
cnbdividod into about fifteen sub
trlbea. Once a week every man
woman and child waa assembled at th
fort on the parade ground , accurate ! ;
counted and identified. Rations were
then issued to thorn under the same
system aa employed in tha army and
strict compliance with tha laws for
their aubstatonco waa enforced. No
Indian wai ullowod to bo absent from
this count unless he had a pai , duly
eignod and approved by the command
ing officer , and then pormiealon waa
not given to be absent from more than
oao count. Thla plan waa found to
nork admirably , f r the chlofa and
Indian tcauta became ao strongly inv
pn'Esed with the fact that the wclfarn
aud proapcrlty of their paoplo do
p inded upon provnn'ing Indiana leav'
lig thn reaarvatlon and boccmlng ren
egades that thu moment rvj Indian waa
reported nb-innt without leave ho waa
puraacd , Invariably caught , and If ho
ofFirod any reclstanco , waa killed.
Tiiu White Mountain Indian tcouta at
all times proved of the greatest aer-
vloo in pursuing renegade Indiana from
'other reservation * , aa did nlso the
uconts from Fort Vtirdo. Little or no
trouble , however , wan occasioned by
the Indiana during 1874 , end the in
creased security to the Inhabitants en
couraged immigration and the popula
tion of the territory materially in
creased.
TUB RING OOMHENCIS WORK.
The Indiana at the Apaoho id
Vurdo reservation ! mule le
progress toward supporting thorn-
oe voa. At Apache the supply d.o
.partment was furnished by them with
a laigo amount of corn , beans anc
hay. I hare frequently 'seen rqnawi
ccrrying on their backs grain into thi
peat from their planting ground fort *
miles dlatant. But thla peaceful anc
Butlnfactory condition of things wai
not to laat very long. The contract
ors found aa little profit in aupplyln
the Indians aa there waa in pupplylnj
the troops. A ring was then formei
and offorta commenced to bring abon
a removal of the Indiana from th
military reservations and mlllUr
control at any sacrifice of principles'
honor or good ralth , for there wor
"millions in it , " and possible steal
thut encouraged the formation of on
of the moat formidable gangs cf plun
derera that over robbed the pnbll
treasury aud harassed the govern
mout. In March , 1875 , Genera
Kautz , ona nf the ablcat and mo ;

department of Arizona. A classmat

though the Indians had planted ex :
tenalvely at Apsoho and Verde an
were quiet and contented , they mu
go , leaving their crcpa in the gronni
their labor lost. Tha Indians n
mnnatratnd agalnat the change. Tl
White Mountain chlafa at Fo '

FALSIFIED ROLL-CALL. .

from an official report thai cannot bo

Fort Verde alone shows that from (

bringing about the conditions of
gfl.ttn that resulted in this outbreak
among the Indiana at the S.\n Carlos
agency and the losa of llfo and prop
trty which ucaaod ? General Wlllcox
was relieved from command nnd Gen
eral Crook la back again , struggling
to t rcetoro the old-tlmo quiet and
psaco which existed under hia former
management and that of General
Kautz. And while ho la reorganizing
and preparing hla forces nnd perfectIng -
Ing a eystoiu which will result In
whipping those Indiana brcl : to the
renervatlon or exterminating them ,
tbo.&amo papers , teeming with lies and
misrepresentations and managed by
a part cif , the came thieving Indian
ring thac haa been operating elnoo
1875 , are abusing him nnd the sol-
diora of hla command. Wo hoar the
same old talk about volunteers and
const quent abuse of the army. It is
a sorry qjmmontary upon a govern
ment that will tolerate each a condi
tion of thing ? ! . Surely the great ovlla
existing in the management of In
dian n'lFalra should bo corrected by
some 'remedial measures , founded lu
honesty tmd regulated by experience.
If the military are to ba hold roipona-
ible for the Indian whan ho la on the
war path , has it not boon ahowu by
exporloaoo that the army ihould have
some influence over the management
In peace 'of thoao they fight in wai ?

glnourlug ; Emllo was a notary's clerk ,
They had boon cohuol companions ,
and mooting again at the beginning of
the batllo of life , resolved to pass to
gether through that period of trials
which Intervenes between the happy
days of boyhood and thu oxporlonooB
of after llfo , whou It ia difficult to form
now ti a. The perfect harmony of
tholr friondahlp nai undisturbed by n
alnglo and unkind jword or action.
Oould it then , have bjon other than
slncora and strong , faithful and de

Paul wno engaged to n sweet , elm
plo girl , and though very much lulovi
with her , ho never thought of being
astonished that Einiln should con
vetso with her on iho onoy terms o
familiar ncqnalutanuc , whllo Emllo ,
who would have thrown himself lute
the fire to save the yotiog girl's fan ,
never dreamed that hln want of for
imllty should surprise Paul. Thol
friendship was founded un oatoom am
conlidouco n confidenctt BO great tha
durirfj the early part if April , Paul
who had for EOUIO time boon In com
inunicatlon with an Amcrlcaricompan
for the coiiglrnc.luu of A railroad , aal
to hla friend :
"An opportunity proaonts Itself b ;
which I can provo my ability , am
establish myself In my profession. Th
superintendence oi n railroad li
Louisiana Is offered to mo. I shalllb
obliged to bo absent farat least n yea
I cannot take HortonBo , and the
thought of leaving her breaks my
heart. In love , jealousy ii a virtue.
I vlll not oanfldo her to my brother's
onro , bnt I place her la your charge.
You will guard her AS you w < mld a
slater , aud in ono year , when I return ,
I chall find her faithful to her prom
ise , nnd I shall makoher'my wife. "
"Yon can depend on mo , " Emllo
said , simply pressing the hand of hla
friend. And Paul departed , free from
care , and full of trust.
They were loft nlono she , with all
the charms of youth and beauty ; ho
with nil the fervor of 'a young and
tender heart of twenty years , Bneoop-
tlblo to all the uncontrollable emo i
tions of affection. Einiln and Hor-
tense renounced all solflih Interests
- and pleasure In order to concentrate
all tholr thoughtn , all their purposes
all tholr wishes in the supreme grati
fication of performing an accepted and
acknowledged dnty. Whou Hortonsu :
would return from iho studio , at the
, oud of her loasou , Emilo wonld go
, to ir-oot her and conduct her homo.
, They talked of love and mutual affec
, tion , ho anpporting the canao of the
- absent lover , aha allowing her hear
to bo deluded by the eoft music of hit
yolco , which filled her soul with inald-
ions delight. On Sundays , nhoi
- there were nn lessons , and the ntndlc
, was cloned , ho accompanied her to the
environs of Paris , to fetes and t
! places of amuBomont , and the passers :
- by , stopping to look at this couple
DO young and BO beautiful , on when
. radiant happiness seemed to amllo , ex
claimed :
ro "Two lovers ! Ah , they are ia par
. adise. "
ild Thia paradlso became n hell.
By dint of speaking of love to thi
young girl , Emllo felt awaken In hln
cs it magnetic echo , a word of strange :
; nameless sensations , the power am
IB- nature of which ho tried in vain t
disregard , and which responded to hi
m- mental conflict by Imperious domandi
la- and vehement defiance.
By dint of listening to Emilo , Her
ro tense was forood to the secret confes
lr- Blon that thora was no other voloo ID
lrhe the world which could speak the Ian
he gnago of true passion ao well , and th
ho the woman who should reoalve euc
icd love wonld indeed ba happy.
too The fire which they intended to fa
a foranother burned them to the quid
of and their scruples , their duty , thol
ist vows to thu absent one , could iot
quench it. The flames spread and di
ea- vonrod them. Without betraying the
he feelings by word , look or gesture
ito they gradually avoided each other
otaa society , and never dared to speak
aa .Paul , his love and his hopes. HI
he name was never mentioned. It wonl
mt have sounded llko a reproach rlugln
, In their eara. Emllo soon steppe
islrid paying Ilortonso niiy little attention
rid BO afraid waa ho that she would dlacoi
nd or hla secret. Ho talked to her of t
re- qnalnlancos which he pretended t
tly have made , and of love tdTiilrs wblc
never existed , Ho bought photograpl
ho of pretty women nt the stationer'
, and Bhowing her one of them , said : '
ore "That'a my sweetheart. What d
you think of her ? "
lit I Hortonao anawerod , with folgno
silo Indifference ; "She la very pretty. "
ur- Then they separated , retired
Irmd their rootna and wept bitterly. F <

for Matters had reached this pass c
the the morning of that fatal first of Jai
icir nary. Emilo awaited the appoaran
of Hcrtoiiao to offer her his got
, wishes and presents for the yea
JOB He had succeeded In securing fro
Paul's relations his photograph i
was duced from a portrait , und had set
sotv in a gold locket bearing Hortensi

When the young girl received t
, present she opened the caao , and , BI

turned palo nnd began to wonp.
"Why those tear * ? " said Euitlo , nl-

"Yon don't understand mo , " said
HortotiBP. "I weep , bnt it IB from

Emllo wont away and did not return I

auco , mechanically caat hla eyes upon
It and uttered an exclamation. Ills
plcturo h it taken the place of Paul's.
"What does this menu ? " ho ox-
olaluiod. "HortotiBO , what have yon
done ? "
"Loavo mo , " she Bald , taking the
locket and slipping It Into her dross.
"Loavo mo ; don't apeak to mo I am
going mad ! "
"Mad ? " repeated Emllo , really
Manned. '
"Don't you BOO ? " Can't you under
stand anything ? " the girl cried out , n
prey to violent agitation. "Don't you
BOO that this kind of llfo ta Impossible ?
Can't yon understand that I love you ,
and that thla life of falsehood nnd res
traint Is killing mot" and throwing her
arms around htm she hid her face on
hla breast nnd Bobbed , while ho trem
bled like ouo shaking with fever. It
required a few moments for this Intense
tense- emotion to subside ; then , making
a violent effort , ho disengaged himself
from I or embrace , and obliging her to
sit down , aald , in n broken yolcc :
"Uortoimo , I love yon ! "
"Oh , Euillol" Interrupted Dortonee ,
overjoyed.
"L3t mo apeak. Ilovoyon , Porn

Bgatnnt the feeling which has over

felt that Intense love taking posses

rose up before mo like a reproach. At
this very moment It causes mo deep
remorse. "
VBut I love you , " faltered the plrl.
"Bo still , Those words are n crltnu.
Poor boy ! Ilo la so full nf trust ; ro-

stopped , overcome by emotion.
"Bnt why IB ho not hero ? " Ilor-
tonoo caked , suddenly.
"lSccau o ho has confidence In us ,
I will not batray him for nnj consid

They paueud , and a Btraugo , thrill

tions BPcrued to bo fixed ou that Idea
of death , thus abruptly invoked aa a
menace , a refuge , and nn expiation ,
"Yes , " aitld the young girl , crowd
ing all her punt-up feelings Into that
one second ; "I would rather dlo than
think of " She did not finish , She
was going to pronounce Paul'n namo.
Einllo took nor two hands in hla ,
placed hlmaolf In front of her , and
with a penetrating look scanned her
faoo , lu search of confirmation of the
dooporato thoughts just oxprcesad ,
"Would yon ? " ho asked slowly ,
with dotormlncd onorgyr
llortouBQ roao , and with solemn af
fection , exclaimed : "Instantly ! " and
falling into each other's arms , they re
mained In a long embrace. This was
tholr death nonteuco.
