LUZ BUENNUEVA.

Ills Adventures With the Comanches
This thrilling narrative the write,
has from the brave Mexican named
above. who has probably killed more
Indians in personal combat than any
| one on the frontier.
| Luz was born in the state of CoahuiIa
republic of Mexico, and will be eighty
two years old next February, 1901
Having lived where Indian raids were
frequently made, he was well versed in
| the use of firearms and knowledge OF
woodcraft that gives the frontier men
of Mexico, as well as of the United
| states, confidence in themselves and
| keeps them ready for any emergency,
ready to face any kind Of danger at
short notice, and enabled them to win
| the battle after a desperate struggle of
| half a century.
Luz came to Uvalde fifty-three years
ago, having crossed the Rio Grande at
Brownsville and gradually drifted UP
| towards this place. He first worked as
vaquero for Joseph r. Black. There
were very few people in this part of the
state at that time, only few hardy and
bold old frontiersmen having the cour-
age to settle when all the country
north of them for over a thousand
miles was filled with warlike, blood
thirsty Indians, and only few posts
far apart in the way of protection.
But the woods were full Of deer, bear
turkeys, buffalo and other game and
trees and cliffs were filled with bees and
their sweet stores. 1t was literally q
land flowing with milk and honey
Luz had his Baptism of fire. before
he came here. His first fight was at the
little pueblo of Candida in the state Of
Coahuila, on the Saltillo Canine Real
highway. At that time he was pastor
in charge of the herd of sheep and cat
tie of Don Flugenio Robiero, a short
distance from the pueblo.
The Comanches and Lipans acting In
concert attempted to take the herd.
Luz was only armed with a flint lock
r,us'Set-ohsNlete now hit # GAINED
American independence and many a
great battle in Europe, and with the
right kind of man behind it It was not
to be despised. The Indians had only
1ances and bows and a few arrows and
escopetas.
Felipe Robiero a son of Don Fluge-
MO, happened to be with the herd also.
But for that. the Indians would not
only have taken the herd, but LUIS
scalp also, to grace their shields after
return to Texas.
Don Felipe being well armed and
brave, with Luz, kept the Indians at
bay and saved the herd, but Felipe was
struck in the breast by "corta lanca,"
a short handled lance, something like
the assagai Of the Zulus, and killed.
