In the latter year Geronimo's band, so called, of which Nahche was actually the chief, was captured by General Mifes and taken as prisoners ut war successively to Florida, Alabama, and tinaily to Ft Sill, Okla., where Nahche still resides, re- spected by his own people as well as by the whites. He is now (1907) about 49 years of age. In his prime as a warrior he was described as supple and graceful, with long, flexible hands, and a rather handsome face. His present height is 5 ft. lOi- in. Col. H. L. Scott (inf'n, 1907),. for four years in charj^eof theChiricahua prisoners in Oklahoma, speaks of Nahche as a most forceful and relial)leman, faith- futty performing the duties assigned to him as a prisoner, whether watched or not. He was proud and self-respecting, and was regarded by the Chiricahua at Ft Sill as their leader. In recent years, however, he has lost his old-time iuHu- enceas well as some of his trustworthi- ness (inf'n from Geo. Wrattan, official interpreter, 1907). Nahelta (Nd-hd-ta).
