them to wipe them out.
 "Well, we sent this boy on to
 Gen. Kearney, and he sent him to
 headquarters at W Washington. His
 name was Juan Hernandez-that
 was the name on a ticket around
 his neck. Senator Benton took a
 liking to the little fellow, adopted
 him and sent him to school sever
 al years. As soon as the boy got
 an education he deserted his bene-
 factor and came to Los Angeles.
 Maybe he did something mean in
 the states and had to leave. Any
 way he was accused of being con-
 nected with gang of horse thieves
 operating between Los Angeles and
 Mexico, and this country became
 too hot for him. He left for Sono-
 ra and at the same time a num-
 Der of horses disappeared" "
 The subsequent career of this
 Mexican boy, who was so miracul-
 ously saved from the general
 slaughter, is, perhaps, one of the
 most despicable on record In
 the rooms of the Historical Society
 of Southern California is a large
 painting of the execution of Henry
 A. Crabbe and his party of filibus-
 ters. The ingrate Hernandez,
 whose life had been saved by Amer
 jeans, showed his lack of gratitude
 by betraying Crabbe's party In
 those days flibustering parties
 were numerous. Some were in
 stigated by patriotism, others from
 self-interest, and that was the
 motive of Henry A. Crabbe.
 A Spanish grandee named Ainsa possessed rich silver mines in So-
 nora. The president became jealous of his power and influence and con- fscated his property and exiled him. Ainsa came to Los Angeles } with his family, which consisted of f a wife and three daughters. Crab ) be, who was a soldier of fortune 3 and also a knighty courier, married one of these daughters. About this time the usual revolution = broke out in Sonora and Crabbe i thought he saw an opening for a !, filibustering expedition, which by aiding the revolutionists, migh: lead to the discovery of the rich silver mines of his father-in-law. Hernandez was one of the leading conspirators, and Crabbe com municated' with him. It was l agreed that, should the revolution be successful, the Ainsa estates 1 should be restored to him.
 Accordingly Crabbe organized l an army" of about 100 men, and after a long and tedious march over the burning desert they ar rived at Sonsita, in Sonora. There : he learned that the president and @ the leaders of the revolution had = ''compromised," which had been l brought about by Hernandez e who was given lucrative !, office. Hernandez now show g ed his perhdy by refusing to e treat further with Crabbe and e prevailed upon the president to is- !, sue his famous or infamous pro. 0 clamation, "Death to the Filibus- e ters."
 l Crabbe then issued his proclaim, n ation, freeing the country, and e marched upon the town ofCaborca n Here they were overpowered, and 0 after more than half of the number 1 had been killed the others surren' e dered, After surrendering they d were massacred in the plaza. Crab e be's head was severed from his n body, and at a dinner given nex' I day to commemorate the victory C CD the head was placed on d disf > at the head of the table in front O Il the president, GanGara. At hi d right hand sat the treacherous Her u nandez.
 1T Strangely enough, there was alsc e only one survivor of the Crabb, a f'ibustering party-a boy named E. Evans, aged about 13 years, Ow h ing to his youth his life was spared = but he was compelled to witness . this Feast of the Demons.
