 nora.
 Last week we referred to the fact that our townsman and enterprising citizen, Don Leopoldo Carrillo, had been imprisoned at Altar and condemn ed to be shot in default of the payment of large amount of money. Follow ing is MT. Carrillo's statement of the whole case, first written in Spanish by himself and then translated by Mir. Car los Fully. Brief comments by THE CITIZEN will be found elsewhere in this paper:
 On the 16th of August last, 1 started for Altar on the stage, and when we had got out of town, 1 was detained by Don Antonio Barrera, who told me he was going to leave on the 17th, and ot- fered to take me along, l therefore let my baggage go, keeping only my bed ding.
 On tie 17th ST, Barreras told me he was not going, whereupon 1 obtained a carriage and overlook Don Pedro Agui Ire, who had started and went in com pany of Juan Anguez, Don Francisco Narranjo, Don Carlos Redondo and Don Jesus Ma. Elias of this town. The Hast named remained at the water-mill of MT. Jas. Lee, and I continued my travel with the other parties.
 On the 18th, about daybreak, we were at Canoa, and about 4 o'clock D. m., Carlos Redondo departed from us and took the road towards Gro Blanco I went on with the others as far Tubu tama, where we arrived on the 18th. was informed at that place that Jesus Corella, with whom 1 had business was not at Altar, and therefore resolved to return on horseback, as the follow ing parties will testify, to-wit: J. Ma Gastelum, Manuel Corella, the local fudge of Tubutamq, Reyes Armenia and Feliz Bustamente, who were there and also the above named persons who started with me from Tucson. The above named local judge of Tubutama lunloaded the carriage which had then
 arrived to its destination. 1 will not , here dwell on any unimportant details
 and proceed to that place where the commanding officer of the military , forces of the government caused a !, whole town to shed tears, and even its own troops of Cuairpe Juape afd P Magdalena-when they were persuad ed of my innocence, among whom l
 shall name some of the officers: Sal vador Lopez and Don Gaslelo, who ; acquitted themselves very generously , even to such a degree as to offer me some money to aid me in my troubles
 On the 21st, I arrived at Altar and but up at the house of Manuel Zepeda On the 22d, ST. Serna arrived with g force from PitiquitO, and ar.0ng t!'"',, zRas- ST Co-clla. About half an hour af i TH1l I saiuled rneIn, the fight cOmmenc ed. During this skirmish, I was part of the time with Don NJ. Marin and Don Ricardo Teran, and with Don J. Ma Salazar; and as soon as the first door was opened, I went out and was arrest ed in the act of gong out. I then gave them this same information and was set free under the security of the commanding officer At night went of my own free will to sleep with them On the 23d, as 1 was about to take din. ner, an officer, Rafael Sainz, had me brought before him, and believing that it was for the purpose of giving me a passport, which I had been offered, went to the place where the command. ing officer was, and supposing he was busy, went into the adjoining room to wait few minutes. Soon after the same Sainz came and gave me Up to ten soldiers. I obeyed the order, and as they conducted me along 1 heard them say: "Why should we shoot him so far off?" But we were not long before we arrived at little room of very dirty appearance, with very small door and sky-light about foot large, and the rafters were supported by two posts fixed in the center, which room appeared from its shape and tenn perature like a kiln. On taking pos session of that dreary habitation, 1 was made to sit on chair in front of the door before some soldiers, who appear ed to be ready to aim their guns at me and shoot. I asked them what was go ing on, and they made no reply but hung their faces down. We maintain ed that position until about 10 o'clock D. m. At dead of night, Jose Ma. Els calante came to me and read the sen- tence of death, which was to take place at 9 a. m. next day, using the following language: My friend, you must be resigned to meet death, as only Provi- dence can save you," with many other things which made me feel sure of my death.
