Cocliise. A Chiricahua Apache chief, 

 son and successor of Nachi. Althougli 

 constantly at feud with the Mexicans, 

 he gave no trouble to the Americans until 

 after he went, in 1861, under a flag of 

 truce, to the camp of a party of soldier.^ 

 to deny that his trilje had abducted a 

 white child. The commanding officer 

 was angered by this and ordered the visit- 

 ing chiefs seized and bound because they 

 would not confess. One was killed and 

 four were caught, but Cochise, cutting 

 through the side of a tent, made his escape 

 with three bullets in his body and imme- 

 diately began hostilities to avenge his 

 companions, who were hanged by the 

 Federal troops. The troops Avere forced 

 to retreat, and white settlements in Ari- 

 zona were laid waste. Soon afterward 

 the military posts were abandoned, the 

 troops being recalled to take part in the 

 Civil war. This convinced the Apache 

 that they need only to fight to prevent 

 Americans from settling in their country. 

 Cochise and Mangas Coloradas defended 

 Apache pass in s. e. Arizona against the 

 Californians, who marched under Gen. 

 Carleton to reopen communication be- 

 tween the Pacific coast and the E. The 

 howitzers of the California volunteers put 

 the Apache to flight. When United States 

 troops returned to resume the occupancy 

 of the country after the close of the 

 Civil war, a war of extermination was 

 carried on against the Apache. Cochise 

 did not surrender till Sept., 1871. When 

 orders came to transfer his people from 

 Canada Alamosa to the new Tularosa 

 res., in New Mexico, he escaped with a 

 band of 200 in the spring of 1872, and 

 his example was followed by 600 others. 

 After the Chiricahua res. was established 

 in Arizona, in the summer of 1872, he 

 came in, and there died in peace June 8, 



1874. He was succeeded as chief by his 

 son Taza. The southeasternmost county 

 of Arizona bears Cochise's name. See

Cochiti {Ko-clii-W ) . A Keresan tribe 

 and its pueblo on the w. bank of the Rio 

 (irande, 27 m. s. av. of Santa Fe, N. Mex. 

 Before moving to their present location 

 the inhabitants occupied the Tyuonyi, or 

 Rito de los Frijoles, the Potrero de las 

 Vacas, the pueblo of Haatze on Potrero 

 San INIiguel or Potrero del Capulin, and

the jjueblo of Kuapa in the Cana(.la de 

 Cochiti. U]i to this time, which was still 

 before the earliest Spanish explorations, 

 the ancestors of the present San Felipe 

 inhabitants and those of Cochiti formed 

 one tribe speaking a single dialect, but on 

 account of the persistent hostility of their 

 X. neighbors, the Tewa (to whom is at- 

 tributed this gradual southerly movement 

 and through whom they were compelled 

 to abandon Kuapa), the tribe was divided, 

 one branch going southward, where they 

 built the pueblo of Katishtj'a ( later called 

 San Felipe), while the other took refuge 

 on the Potrero Yiejo, where they estab- 

 lished at least a temporary pueblo known 

 as Hanut Cochiti. On the abandonment 

 of this village they j'etired 6 or 7 m. s. e. 

 to the site of the present Cochiti, on the
