Santa Fe, April 11. — The New Mexican
is in receipt of news from southwestern Arizona
that the White Mountain Apaches are very
uneasy, and it is feared they will go on the war
path. They are having much trouble among
themselves.
This morning Deputy Marshal Frank Por-
ter came in from the reservation and refutes
the report in every detail.
On Friday last, the 10th inst., two flocks
of sheep near Sheep Tanks, 20 miles from
Solomonville, and on the edge of the reserva-
tion, were being herded by Mexicans, an old
man and a boy in charge of one herd. The
herders of the other flock were asleep when
the two bands of sheep were coming together
and to frighten them apart the old man fired
his revolver in the air. This stampeded the
sheep and the dust with the noise of the shots
awoke the sleeping Mexicans, who rushed to
Solomonville with the tale that the Apaches
were on the warpath. A posse was at once
formed and investigation disclosed the fore-
going facts.
Mr. Porter says regarding the statement
that “they are having much trouble among
themselves,” that they were never more quiet
nor doing better work than at present, Apaches
as well as Tontos, Yumas and Mohaves.
