“On the day when I was surprised I was
cooking dinner in a rough cabin. It was in the
winter season. The door of the cabin stood
partially ajar, and I was cooking a piece of
bacon and boiling some beans. I heard a shot
— the whiz of a bullet. This was followed
rapidly by other shots. Geronimo and his people
rode past the door and fired as they went. I
jumped to the door and hastily closed it. Seiz-
ing my rifle I stood the gallant Geronimo off
single handed. My partner at the time was killed
and his body horribly mutilated within 100
yards of the cabin. I return to Riverside today
after an absence of ten years, and find my
property which I gave $300 for, now worth
$20,000.
