The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory June 28th, 1873 We learn that Captain Burns, commanding at Camp Date Creek, took 30 loaded guns from Tumaspie’s band of Indians, while they were at his post, en-route to the Verde. The Indians gave up their guns reluctantly, when they saw themselves surrounded by Americans and Wallapai soldiers. Old Tumaspie tried to run away, but seeing that he could not make it, made the best of what he thought a dangerous necessity. Some of the Date Creek’s are still out.
