The Arizona Miner
Prescott, Arizona Territory
May 11th, 1872
Military Of ficers———Good and Bad.
There is but one officer in this sect
ion of the Territory, in command of a
post, who has not the good will and
confidence of our citizens, and he is
stationed at Camp Date Creek, where
rumor says, he “plays fast and loose”
with “pet” Indians, and, every once in a
while, sends East, to V. Colyer and
other public plunderers, slanderous
communications regarding the conduct
of Whites and Indians. And this officer
is Captain R.F-. O’Beirne, 21st Infantry,
who, if all that we have heard regarding
his bearing to White American Citizens,
who are, in every respect, his peers, is
too much tainted with foreign snobbery
to admit of his occupying a position as
servant of the people of America, with
due difference to his employers or
credit to himself.
