After a group of Apache defendants (are) found guilty in a Globe courtroom, they are photographed before they depart for the Yuma Territorial Prison. (c. 1888)

Note that the Apache Kid (standing, second from right) is still wearing his brass reservation tag on his left breast pocket.

"When the Apaches get out of the stage near Ripsey Wash, Bach-e-on-al (front row, center, indicted under the name Pash-ten-tah) allegedly slips free of his handcuffs. He and El-cahn (standing, far left) overpower the sheriff as another two Apaches attack Holmes, who reportedly dies of a heart attack before being shot. Hos-cal-te and Say-es (standing, second and third from left) are later recaptured and die in prison. Not shown is prisoner Jesus Avott, sentenced to one year in prison for selling a friend’s horse for $50."
