Arizona Citizen
Tucson, Arizona Territory
May 3rd, 1873
The Indians at Date Creek are to be removed to
the Verde. They are very reluctant to go, and
some fears are entertained that there may be
difficulty in getting and keeping them there.
But, we apprehend, that no serious trouble
will arise from it. The memory of the punishm
ent they received for their evil deeds is
too fresh in their memories to desire a repe
tition of Gen. Crook’s gentle caressing at
the present time, and if they don’t obey
orders they know they will get it. The Verde
is a far better place for them in every way,
and they can be cared for by the government
much more economically by placing them with
the Verde Indians.
