March 22, 1886
DETROIT FREE PRESS, Michigan, March 22, 1886 Near the top of the front page is: "Capture Of Geronimo" "The Apache Outlaw, Whipped by Mexicans, Retreats to American Soil and Surrenders" "The Mexican Forces Threaten to Take the Prisoner by Force--A Collision Imminent" with the article noting various particulars. But the bottom of the article has a heading: "If The Following Is True The Above Is False" with a report from Tombstone noting: "...just arrived from San Bernardino ranch states that the soldiers' report of a battle with Apaches and surrender of Geronimo is untrue." Indeed it was. Geronimo would did not surrender until September 4, 1886.
