ROUGH RIDERS v. INDIANS
WAR OF EXTERMINATION (By Gable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Recd. Dec. 2, 1 p.m.) CHICAGO, December 1. Douglas, Arizona, resembles an armed camp, six hundred rough riders with war experience having volunteered to go out and exterminate the Apache 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 her body, and kidnapped her eight-year-oldson. Fimbres pledged the remainder of his life to avenge the slaying, and dogged the renegades’ trail ever since. He recently returned from the mountains and rep’orted that the Indians had gone into their winter camp, and cannot emerge until the snows melt. Fimbres’ child is still with the band. .
