Show INDIAN SOLDIERS ON A DRUNK. Free Fight Among the Soldiers Stationed j at Fort Whipple. U Prescott, Araz., Nov. 17. The troops sta- E tion at the Whtpple barracks were paid off p two days ago. Among those stationed there H is one company of Apache Indians, and tne S fact of their being clothed in the uniform of S United States soldiers seems to enable them g to secure all they want io drink. The result g has been that during the past two nights a there have been numbers of fights. h At one time it seemed as if serious trouble a would occur as the Indians broke for their R arms and ammunition and were only pre- t vented with difficulty from obtaining them. U During the tight one white soldier had one fc of his legs broken, and several Apache sol- E diers were more or less hurt. R Seven Apaches are in the guard house and h nearly as many more Apaches and white I; soldiers are in the hospital. An order trans- fe ferring this company from Whipple about f the 25tb of this month gives much 6at isfac- tion to the residents of this vicinity. $ |
