Red Man Not Wild Any More Note From Clarion A
Alvin Bear of McDowell Arizona writes that McDowell Reservation is a newly established reserve about four years old for scattered Apache Indians. General Chaffee, then captain, was stationed here two years ago during Indian troubles. The crumbling adobe walls show the encampment was substantial, though the Apache now retains little of his former blood and is effectively reversed in place.
