20170. The Arizona Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory, May 10th, 1873. Pacified Indians. Numbers of Apache-Mohaves (article)

The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory May 10th, 1873 Pacified Indians. Numbers of Apache-Mohaves were in town on Wednesday, some clothed in soldier’s uniform, others nearly naked, and partly clad in citizens old clothes. But nearly all were armed, and they had all descriptions of guns; we noticed old Mississippi yaugers, Hawkins’ rifles, Springfield muskets, Sharp’s and Spencer’s carbines, Colts, Smith & Wesson’s and other pistols, and plenty of knives. Some of these fellows were employed as soldiers during the winter, under Gen. Crook, against the Tonto and Pinal Indians, their natural enemies, and did good service; but it was rather aggravating to see some of the oldest of the party, who have doubtless scalped many a white man, parading our streets with powder-horns, bullet pouches, belts, guns, etc., that we are sure they procured from the victims of their ambusc ades in years gone by. We hope they have buried the hatchet forever, but should prefer meeting them on the highway or in the mountains, without such good arms in their hands.
