APACHE INDIANS
TROUBLE IN ARIZONA
EXPEDITION ORGANISED
(Eeceived 2nd December, 1 p.m.)
NEW YORK, Ist December. Douglas, Arizona, resembles an armed camp, 600-rough-riders with war experience having volunteered to go out to exterminate Apacho Indians, who have been a thorn in the flesh of the American and Mexican Governments for years. In 1926 they ambushed the wife of Francisco Fimbres, killed her, and mutilated thn body, and kidnapped her eight-year-old son. Fimbrcs pledged the remainder of his life to avenge the slaying, and dogged the desperadoes' trail ever since. He recently returned from the mountains and reported that the Indians had gone into winter camp, and could not emerge until the snows melted. Fimbres's child is still with the band.
