cans fell upon the remainder, and succeeded in massacring
nearly the entire party, including Juan Jos6.
The death of Mangus Colorado (the second head chief
murdered by American treachery) seemed to concentrate
upon the white race all the hatred in the Apaches' nature;
and, although Cochise profited largely by the foul deed, all
his former friendship became changed to the bitterest enmity,
as though by the touch of an enchanter's wand, betraying
until his death a hatred far surpassing any thing ever portrayed in fiction, fighting with a desperation and bravery, and
torturing his victims with a vindictive cruelty, hitherto unknown in history.
Women whom he made captives were subjected to a fate
worse than death; little children were spitted upon spears,
and roasted over slow fires; men were hung by the heels,
fires kindled beneath their heads, and pierced with arrows,
gashed with knives, or the flesh cut from their bones while
still living.
Cochise himself signalized his accession to office by one of
the most daring and brutal murders ever committed before
the eyes of United-States soldiers.
Information having reached Tucson, that he was encamped,
with a small party of warriors, about forty miles below that
place, an officer with thirty-five soldiers, an interpreter named
Englehart, and the Indian agent, were sent out to visit the
encampment, with instructions to ascertain, if possible, his
destination and intentions.
