Apache Chief Dead.

Magoosh, supposed to have been the only baldheaded Indian in the world, and the last of the famous war chiefs of the Apaches, ninety years old, is dead, He had 20 wives in his time. In February, 1907, two of his wives died within a week of each other. Magoosh led his Indian braves at a dozen massacres and in scores of raids. His most serious defeat was at the hands of the Texas rangers, under Daniel W. Roberts, in 1875. The rangers scattered Magoosh’s band. After abandoning the warpath Magoosh was a good friend ot the white men. He made one trip to Washington for a talk with the “Great White Father,” and to his dying day delighted in telling his tribesmen of the wonders he beheld on that journey.
