Tombstone 425 zagging his way up the hill behind to confuse the sol-diers who were firing upon him. He escaped unharmed,but the following morning, looking down, he saw hisfour associates hanging, dead, victims to the wicked,unlawful and murderous fury of the scoundrel white of-ficer, who had thus violated the laws of God and then and there vowed terrible vengeance, andswore that he would kill ten white men, women, and chil-dren for every one of his band that was slain. And onlytoo well did he keep his word. It was this chief, therefore, that General Howard wasespecially anxious of pacifying. At considerable riskJeffords took him into the stronghold, where Cochisemet him, made a treaty, and ever after lived in full accord-ance with it.
