Arizona Citizen
Tucson, Pima County, A.T.
Saturday, November 25th, 1871
The Government fed Indians at Date Creek
undoubtedly committed the horrible
massacre of six men near Wickenburg. The
citizens of Prescott organized to go and
kill them all off, but some of the cooler
ones induced the others to let General
Crook inquire into the facts and settle
with the murderers, who proceeded to do
so at once. The Indians there should all
be killed, but we are glad that matters
took the course they did. The ApacheM
ohaves evidently heard how well the
Grant Indians were treated because of
their many and continued thefts and
murders, and hence their terrible
Wickenburg slaughter. Colyer is mainly
responsible for these six lives.
