charge him with stealing the stock from the Pata-
gonis Mine, which be knew of before did. Caches
man would think he was inclined to be peaceable to
Americans, but he Ia far from it. For eight months

that be % the biggest liar in the territory and would
XIII an American tOr any tflne PROVIDED ne tn0Qght
1t wouldn't be found out. He fears the soldiers and
II he was not guilty he would not have cause. The
chief believe, ia the only one that ID &C.
tually friendly to Americans his band has not lately
been out on any plundering expeditions.
The last time the Coyetero chief Francisco was
here he asked me If the Americans were going to
buy or take Sonora / told him / thought they
would. he then wanted to know il the Americans
would let the Indians steal from Sonora and replied
that rather thought not He then said that as long
he lived and had warrior to follow him, he would
fight Sonora, and he did not care IL the Americans
did try to stop it, be would fight till be was killed.
l think he would make his word true. J.H.T.
