The Apache Kid, also known as Ski-be-nan-ted, was born on the San Carlos Reservation in about 1860. He worked as a scout under Al Sieber. By July 1882 he had reached the rank of sergeant. The following year he accompanied General George Crook on the expedition of the Sierra Madre. (From user talk:MyRedDice), Yes, all my images are in public domain. ...

In 1887 the Apache Kid was left in charge of the guardhouse at San Carlos. He left his post in order to hunt down a man he believed was responsible for the death of his father. On his return to the guardhouse there was an argument with Al Sieber. During the dispute someone (not the Apache Kid) shot Sieber in the leg. The Apache Kid escaped but later surrendered to the authorities. 1887 is a common year starting on Saturday (click on link for calendar). ...
Apache Kid and three others were accused of attempted murder. He was found guilty and was sentenced to seven years in Yuma Territorial Prison. While being transported to the prison the Apache Kid escaped. During the fighting that took place three guards, Glenn Reynolds, Eugene Middleton and W. A. Holmes were killed. The Yuma Territorial Prison was a prison in the Arizona Territory in the United States. ...
Over the next few years the Apache Kid was accused of various crimes. However, it is impossible to determine how many of these he actually committed. A $5,000 reward for him, dead or alive, was promised by the Arizona territorial legislature. This did not result in his capture and after 1894 reports of his crimes came to an end. Some sources claimed he died at this time while others argue he had crossed into Mexico and lived to an old age.

The Kid and his band, increased to about thirty, rode for the Mexican border and en route stole a herd of horses from the Atchley Ranch near Table Mountain, killed a trapper, Bill Diehl, in his cabin, and tortured and murdered rancher Mike Grace as the desperados moved southward.
The kid insisted that he was innocent of the Diehl and Grace killings, that others in his band had done the deeds.
After six of the Kid's band were captured and two were hanged (the other four committed suicide by strangling each other with their loin cloths while in their cell the morning before the execution), the Kid went on a murder rampage, killing several settlers.
It was during Kid's eighth enlistment in the scouts, which began April 11, 1887, that he found himself in a situation that would lead to a court-martial, imprisonment, a civil trial, a new sentence, escape, and life as a fugitive.
Kid had been left in charge of both the scouts and the jail, but before he and the scouts could get to the camp where the tiswin was flowing freely, two men were dead.
Kid and his scouts arrived at San Carlos on June 1, 1887, and found that neither Sieber nor Pierce was in a mood to deal generously with them.
