From this point the citizen command made a forced ride to Martiness ranch where they rested until the moon arose, when they again rode rapidly to Amalio Carrillo's ranch reaching there at daylight and in tune to save a dozen women and children from Indians, l who were there waiting for the doors of the house to be opened, in order to afford the opportunity of commence ing their bloody work. Again the h. dians fled, and procuring fresh horses for his command Samaniego renewed the chase and again espied the h. dians heading for an Italians ranch on the San Pedro, and with whoop they charged the Indians, who ran for their horses and broke for the noun tains.
