By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, May 4—John P. Clum, 80, veteran Federal Indian agent credited with having organized the first Apache Indian Reservation in Ari- zona in 1874, died Monday at his home here. He had been ill several months. Clum was stationed at White River in the period of Apache raids on white settlers and when Government Cavalry detachments battled the Indians on their own ground. A former soldier, he gained the friendship of the Indians by peaceful methods. Apaches termed him “Be- Tunni-Ki-Yea,” or high forehead. Later | he became a publisher and mayor of Tombstone, Ariz. Clum won renown for formation of an Imdian police force that supplanted troops in the maintenance of order about the San Carlos Reservation, where the Coolidge Dam now stands and his capture of the disgruntled | chieftain, Geronimo. | What the gencrals and their regi- | ments were unable to do, Clum accom- plished without bloodshed. | He rode forth with 100 Indian po- | licemen and made the sullen chieftain | prisoner in an agency at Ojo Caliente, April 21, 1877. | Five hurdred hostile Apaches sur- rounded Clum’'s 100 men. Clum and Geronimo met in a room. Clum took the Indian’s weapons. Geronimo drew a concealed knife, but an Indian snatched it away. Then Clum led the proudest and cruelest of Apache war chiefs to a forge | and riveted irons on his wrists and| ankles. “And,” Clum remarked afterward, “I should have hanged him right there.” | American-type office buildings are be- ing erected in Victoria, Australia.
