 expedition, and perished with him in the final execution which wiped out their brave command at Ca. borca. Through their wives Crabbt and Vivian were connected with and in touch with some of the most prominent and noted men in Sono- ra. Those were the days of the Gandaras and Pesqueira, and the wars waged between the two parties and the time was at the very begin ming of General Pesqueira's notable career. With the head of very prominent mercantile house doing business in Sonora, Crabbe and Vivian were connected by marriage. The history of that man, as related, his connection with the events of those days, and the tragedy wrought in his own family by his overmastering ambition, would of itself make most fascinating and interesting romance. In the Gan dara proauacidmiento of 1856, this man espoused the cause of Pesquei- ra. At first Gandara made consid- erable headwap, and for a time the Pesqueiristas seemed in sore straits. At that junction the Sonora capi talist mentioned encouraged Crabbe and Vivian in project to raise an independent military body from among the adventurous spirits with which California thronged, and march to the relief of Pesqueira. It alleged that the Sonora capitalist mentioned assured them that Pes queira would welcome them cor dially, and after final victory he would reward them literally for their services, and that from the same source they were supplied with money to aid in equipping the force they raised.
 In December 1856, there embark ed from San Francisco a finely equipped and we'll mounted force of 300 men commanded by Crabbe, with Vivian second in command. Disembarking at San Diego, they marched across to Fort Yuma, talk ing fully three months, and March 26th the force entered Sonora.
 What were Crabbe's motives and Vivian's in the matter. may not be necessary for discussion here, and in passing it is requisite to mention only that in the United States it has always been generally supposed that they hoped to seize and hold the state to annex to the slave ter ritory of the United States.
 Had he needed Crabbe's assist ance, whether Pesqueira would have accepted it, is also topic not necessary to discuss here. But Pesqueira did not need him, and sent Colonels Jose Maria Giron, Lo- renzo Rodriguez and Hilario Gabi londo with a strong body of troops to meet Crabbe
 It was on the first of April, 1857, that Crabbe reached Caborca with his force. Of the entire 300 which left San Francisco, there remained 130 men. A few days before he had encountered a Mexican force at distance of few miles from Caborca, and in the conflict had inflicted upon them a loss of thirty five.
 Reaching Caborca, Crabbe took possession of the buildings opposite to and facing the church, and quar- tered his force therein. Colonel Giron opposed him with strong force of about 1000 troops, quar- tering his men in the church; but

tween the buildings and the church, broad thoroughfare fully 100 feet wide, they determined to make a stand; but with the overwhelming odds their case seemed hopeless and they surrendered. But they had.bet- ter fought it out to the end, for on the following day the whole party were taken to the graveyard and shot to death, the only one escaping the sad fate being the boy, the son of Crabbe, upon whom his cap tors had commiseration, and took him away restoring him to his mother's relatives at Guaymas.
 The foregoing we gathered from an old man and an old woman who were in Caborca in 1857, hay ing lived there all their lives. The old woman was extremely solicitous whether the Americans are coming back to make reprisal. Don Ricar- do assured her that there is no danger of that, whereat she seemed greatly relieved.
 From the size and extent of the structure it would seem that the old church at Caborca Vieja served large population, and the town must have been a city of sgoodly proportions. But it is now very small town, and its consequence has been considerably diminished by the growth of Caborca Nueva, less than a mile away. The new town,is closer to the mines which have been recently opened, and as their business constitutes large part of the commercial resources of the region, where they traded the town grows.
 We stopped at Caborca Vieia long enough to get the story of Crabbe, and were admitted to the church by two young ladies who came with the keys. It is a large, massive structure, the brick walls were cut in the imitation of stone and plastered over, when new giv- ing it the appearance of a stone edihce. In niche above the main door in front is life sized plaster statue of the Virgin, which is sadly worn and dis6gured by time and the elements. Two towers and a dome surmount the roof In one of the towers hang three bells. One was recast in 1897. Another bears the year 1916, and was probably recast at that time. The third Is very old and badly cracked, but bears no year. The towers are reached by a winding stairway from the baptistry in front, the brick steps being deeply worn by long use.
 The interior is in the usual cruel form shape, the principal altar be- ing at the head of the cross, and at the ends of the arms are smaller altars. The usual pictures and effigies are to be seen upon the altars, but none in any way worthy of more than passing mention. We were informed that the church is possessed of solid siver candelabra, plate, etc., but it is exposed only on ceremonial occasions. The ex- perience of the church at Arizpe, a quarter of a century since, prob ably served to make custodians of such property everywhere bit careful.
 This historic structure has been threatened with destruction from the encroachments of the Altar river, which has at each season of flood cut its way closer and closer to
