A short time after the news of this skirmish had reached Taos, Kit Carson found it necessary, in order to attend to some official business, to proceed to Santa Fé; but, just as he was on the point of setting out, he was informed that a large party of these Jiccarilla Apaches had recently arrived at a place in the mountains only about twenty miles from Taos, and were there encamped.
Hardly had Kit Carson been ushered into his new duties before the Jiccarilla Apaches, who formed one of the tribes of his agency, began to show new signs of dissatisfaction by committing various kinds of outrages on the property and lives of the citizens of the northern part of New Mexico.
To retrieve the ground lost, and also, to show the Jiccarilla Apaches that their recent victory had tended only to stimulate the movements of the Americans to a display of greater activity and energy, after a brief space of time, a large body of regular troops were made ready to take the field against them. The commander of this expedition was Col.
Such was the jailer of Fred, who heard him addressed once or twice by a name which sounded to him as if it were Waukko. He was, in fact, one of the most famous warriors of the Jiccarilla Apaches, his fame depending as much upon his cruelty as upon his prowess.
Scarcely had the news been announced when the scout from the other direction galloped back. "Well, what is it?" asked the lieutenant. "Some of the redskins are ahead of us, that's certain." "What tribe?" "The Jiccarilla Apaches, I think; the worst set of scamps this side of the Llano Estacado." "How many?" "I can't make out more than a dozen, and there may be less."
This warrior was fully six feet in height, magnificently formed, with long horse-hair like shreds hanging from his crown, which, like his face, was daubed with startling colors, giving him the appearance of a variegated zebra of the hues of the rainbow. It was Lone Wolf, one of the most famous leaders of the Jiccarilla Apaches. But the most noticeable feature about this warrior was his dress.
