10125. The Arizona Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory, October 3rd, 1868. Apache Mohaves.

The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory October 3rd, 1868 Apache Mohaves . Great complaint is made by citizens and soldiers of this county about a certain treaty said to have been made by Dr. Rogers and others , of La Paz, with the Indians known as the Apache Mohaves . " Indeed , some people go so far as to say that the people of La Paz are no better than they should be, else they would not allow this murderous tribe of Indians to visit their town, as it is claimed they do, whenever they please. We have been informed that a short time ago, Captain Davis, of Camp McPherson chased a lot of these Indians, who had been committing depredations, to La Paz , and would have chastised them for their evil doings had not some of the citizens of La Paz interfered by telling the Captain that they were friendly Indians, and that it would be murder to kill them. Now if those Indians were Apache Mohaves, it is our cool, deliberate opinion that they deserved killing. But we think and hope there may be some mistake about this treaty matter, as we are 10th to believe that the smooth—tongued red rascals are sharp enough to pull the wool over the eyes of our fellow—citizens of Yuma county. Even were they good Indians, citizens have no right to make a treaty with them, as that is the business of the Military or Indian Departments of the Government. Let us hope that the people of the river have no more love for bad Indians than have those of the interior , and that every Arizonian— soldier and citizen— will do the best he can to put an end to the red rascals.
