ROMAN CHIQUITO
The Romantic Story of a Mescalero Apache.
Written Specially for The Enterprise
by Albert Fountain
You ask me to tell you the story of Roman
Chiquito ; he is only a poor Mescalero Apache,
but he is brave, honest and truthful ; and al-
though it may appear absurd to use such a word
in connection with an Apache Indian, I assure
you, Roman Chiquito is very much of a gentle-
man.
He is the grandson of “Cadette,” the last
great war chief of the Mescaleros and the
nephew of “San Juan” the late great peace
chief of that tribe. Cadette led five hundred
Mescalero warriors on the war path; San Juan
led them to cultivate the soil, live in houses and
send their children to school.
