The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory October 21st, 1871 Local Intelligence. Change of Tactics: Lieutenant Simpson and Geo. Kimball arrived from Camp Date Creek on Tuesday. From a conversation we had with these gentlemen we infer that the Apache-Mohaves at that post will, hereafter, conduct their raids upon the settlers somewhat after the manner that Cotton Mather chose to capture Wm. Penn and his followers: “To serve ye God, capture them slylye.” But as the ApacheM ohaves have no God to serve they are determined, for their own sake, to do their stealing “slylye” and avoid that Henry—rifle controversy which seems to be the glory of the white man.
