drez's rife, which be brought to bear
upon the first Indian, who was then in
the doorway. He aimed to kill, but the
Indian was too quick for him, and
knocked the rifle barrel upward, the
bullet grazing his head.
A terrific battle then followed. Me-
lendrez sprang to aid bis companion,
and the room became of full of fighting
men. Melendrez managed to get hold
of the rifle while the American and the
Indian were clinched. He used it as a
club and struck at the Americans 8 foe,
who was rolling with him upon the
floor, but was himself knocked over, the
gun striking the Indian only hard
enough to daze him. He released his
hold from the American and the latter
instantly reached for his knife. Before
the other Indians could prevent him he
rolled his half-stunned antagonist over,
sat astride of him and plunged the knife
into his heart.
The other Indians closed in upon the
desperadoes and finally secured them
after receiving several severe stabs from
the American. Melendrez fought like a
demon, and the combined efforts OF five
stalwart Santa Catarinas were necessary
to hold him while another secured a
lariat and tied him. The American was
roughly handled, and was unconscious
by the time Melendrez was secured.
The women had run ehrieking to the
gulch where the miners were at work
and the whole population returned to
the house. When the story was
learned there were preparations made
for an immediate lynching. The JUS
tice of the peace ordered three big
rurales to stand guard, however, with
instructions to shoot the first intruder.
A courier was Immediately dispatched
to Real del Castillo to notify the au.
thorities at Ensenada, and asking for
assistance.
The Indian population removed the
body OF the murdered buck and held a
big funeral all that night. The news
spread among the tribe with amazing
rapidity and before daylight fully 100
Santa Catarinas had gathered. The
dance was held all the next day, bucks
and squaws alike joining in the death
songs. The rest OF the population began
to fear that even the Santa Catarinas,
who are very peaceable, would
rise and begin killing, but the
hot-headed ones were restrained by
Chief Isidro, who arrived that evening.
He ordered the cremation of the body
In accordance with the old rites, and a
pile of brush was made, upon which
everything belonging to the dead Indian
was laid. The corpse was wrapped and
placed on the pile. and after long
speech Isidro applied the torch The
squaws squatted around the fire and
kept up a bowling and weeping till the
whole pile was ashes, while the men

A force of rurales arrived on orders
from the Ensenada authorities to take
Melendrez and the American to the cap
ital. They left with the prisoners two
or three days ago, and are probably now
at Ensenada. 1t is not known what
punishment is in store for the two des-

San Diego Union: Another chapter
has lately been added to the record of
>crimes OF Calistro Melendrez, the horse
thief, bandit and murderer, and this
last stamps him as the equal of his old
pal, Bustamente Of San Luis Rey, in
acts OF daring and deviltry. The Union
OF October IA contained an account of
the capture of Melendrez at the mining
camp of Juarez, few miles south of
Campo, in Lower California. He had
made rendezvous there, and when
captured had drove of horses which
he had stolen in San Bernardino
county and driven across the line, as
sisted by Mexican lad named Duarte.
Melendrez was neatly captured by Mex
lean rurales before he could bring his
guns to bear, and was taken to Ense-
NADIA for examination.
1t was expected that the horsethief
would be extradited and returned to
Sar bernardino, but Melendrez, whose
= home was in Lower California origin
ally, had committed crimes there which
maze him an outlaw, and the authori-
cites at Ensenada decided to punish him
instead of turning him over to Califor-
mia. He was accordingly sentenced to
= eerve long term in the Mexican army
and was entered in the infantry COM
psny stationed at Ensenada. Army

cartridges and made his way back to
