Apache Agent
W HEN, in 1873, old-timers in
Arizona learned that a twenty-
two-year-old Easterner, fresh from
Rutgers college, had been appointed
agent for the San Carlos reserva
tion, a gale of laughter swept that
section of the Wild West. “Why,
them Apache devils will skeer that
tenderfoot out inside a week,” they
guffawed. But they didn't know the
stuff that was in John Philip Cium.
Taking charge at San Carlos, he
decided that the “terrible Apaches“
weren’t so terrible if they were
treated like human beings instead
of animals, as the Spaniard, the
Mexican and the American fron
tiersmen had regarded them. So
he made them self-governing by
founding the first body of Indian
police ever organized to keep or
der on the reservation and by estab
lishing courts, presided over by In
dian judges, to try offenders. He
made them partially self-supporting
by teaching them the arts of peace
instead of war and paid them for
the work they did. And above all
else he proved to them that he was
one white man who didn’t “speak
with a split tongue.”
As a result Cium, within three
years, was ruling 5,000 of these In
dians, who had been regarded for
300 years as “untamable,” without
the aid of a single soldier. A physi
cian and a commissary clerk were
the only other white men on the res
ervation.
Next he was given a bigger job—
that of capturing a party of hostile
Apaches, led by the notorious Ge
ronimo. With a selected party of
his loyal Apaches, he marched 400
miles across the deserts and moun
tains of the Southwest, trapped Ge
ronimo and his followers in New
Mexico, captured them without fir
ing a shot and marched them back
the whole 400 miles without a sin
gle one escaping. This was the only
time Geronimo was ever forcibly
captured. Several times later he
voluntarily surrendered but John P.
Cium was the only man who ever
took him prisoner when he didn’t
want to be a captive.
Clum’s career of usefulness as
agent for the Apaches ended in 1877
when politics brought about a crisis
which forced him to resign. He later
won fame as an editor and public
official in the town of Tombstone
but until his death in 1932 he was
proudest of the record he made when
he was “Apache Agent.”

William Eaton was his name and
he was a native of Connecticut who
had come out of the Revolution as
a sergeant at the age of seventeen
and later won the commission of
captain in the American army. In
1798 he was appointed consular
gent at Tunis and, by his skill
and daring in handling the ruler
of that country, he secured for Am

Ahmet’s promise to aid him and
early in 1805 he started out from
Alexandria, Egypt, with his army
of 400 men consisting of nine Ameri
cans, 40 Greeks, 28 artillerymen of
various European nationalities and
the remainder Egyptians, Turks and
Arabs, to capture the town of Derna.
His was an epic journey of 500
days across the desert. During
that time Eaton not only had to
endure the hardships of a country
in which the thermometer never
dropped below 120 degrees but he
also had to quell a mutiny, led by
the man he was trying to put on
the throne—Ahmet himself. But fi
nally they reached Derna and there
with some aid from three small
American warships, Eaton and his
men stormed the defenses of Derna,
put to rout the 800 defenders of the
city and took possession.
For several weeks afterwards he
beat oft the attacks of the enemy

but in June he was ordered to evac

good that came out of his expedi

seamen seized by the Tripolitans
were exchanged fur prisoners Eaton
seized when he captured Derna.

It is softies who object to critics.
Criticism — good criticism — is
what there is not nearly enough

oceans of gush. A good scold is
preferable to a smearer of mo
