The Arizona Miner
Prescott, Arizona Territory
December 19th, 1873
CHIMAHUEVA “SAL”- Strange name for a
male Indian cut-throat- is now, or was,
a short time ago, in the hands of the
military authorities of the Department
of Arizona. “Sal” is a very bad wearer
of moccasins. He used to “gad” around
what was once a very good home for bad
Indians- Camp Date Creek, and, we bel
ieve, stands accused of playing a very
active part in the horrible Wickenburg
Massacre. Captain James Burns, of the
Fifth Cavalry, took the fiend alive. It
is now in order to find out what he
knows about the horrible affair at
Wickenburg, and other horrors committed
by himself and confederates.
