This rare Arizona Territory newspaper contains early news coverage of Apache Indian Chief Geronimo and his warriors. The report is included on page 2, column 1. Entitled, "The Best News," the article indicates that the "noted Heronemo, who is wounded in the side" was included in the surrender at Camp Tucker of around eighty Native American men, women, and children from "renegade Apache forces." The article continues, "From this it is evident that the worst band of renegades that ever infested the border are at last broken up."
