Impregnable Character in Apache? Robbery Account
A band of Apache Indians attempted to steal the army paymaster’s safe containing about 7000 dollars. The 400 pound safe resisted every method from pounding the door with stones to tomahawks and a three hour roasting. They rolled it down a 200 foot cliff then soaked it in a river a week hoping to soften it, but it remained as hard as ever. The tale ends with a moral about recognizing both sides of people and ourselves.
Safe’s Treasured Treasure Found After Indian Conflict
A damaged note recalls Indians blowing up a safe during hostilities, never entering it. They moved the safe to a ravine. Fourteen months after peace, an ambulance and guard retrieved the relic from a creek bed. Inside lay its contents intact despite rust and dented exterior.
