vasuuez, and. according to his own
statement. he turned bad man because
the "Americanos come and the senort-
tas they leave-a me for them"
vasquez, however, chose a rather
strenuous means OF revenging himself
on the fascinating Americans who de-
prived him OF the smiles he delighted
to bask in. His most daring deed
probably was the holding up Of the
town of Paicines. which is Just south
of Hollister. and making way with
every article Of value within the place,
also with the lives OF five or six In
habitants who were rash enough to
brave him.
Emulating Murietta, vasquez also
held high revels IN the old adobe. In
1874 he was captured. and the records
OF the San Jose Police Department
show that he was banged during the
month of March OF the same year.
During the past quarter OF a CEN
tury. however, the old place has degen-
Grated, both in the quality OF It's guests

A fatal one and the oficer lived to tell
the tale.
II these men were reckless and dar-
ing in the pursuit OF their calling they
were also daring and reckless in their
dealings with Cupid At one OF their
festal events the tale Is related OF how
one Soto, a trusted lieutenant of Mu-
rfetta. met comely castilian maid and
with all the ardor Of his Spanish nature
fell in love with her at sight
During the progress OF the evening
he watched her jealously and discov-
cred to his dismay that she was favor
ing another. This once determined he
coolly stepped up to his rival and
plunged his dagger into his heart.
Turning about unconcernediy, he wiped
the blood from the steel on his waist
coat and then kissing the girl stalked
out Of the house.
In 1860 both Soto and mirietta were
hunted down and killed by the Sheriff
of Alameda County
Another OF Murietta's flk and one OF
the last Of his kind also frequented the
old house. In fact. he made II his lair

inaI career. This man was Tiburcio

was with the knowledge rnst he would
find an agreeable substitute for his
happy home at the mansion OF An
tonic Sunoi, San Jose
At that time the old house was two
stories In height and contained sixteen
rooms, one OF which was reserved ex-
clusively for guests and was known to
the family as the foreigners room"
During his lifetime Don sunel very
rarely had this room vacant In the
rear OF the building was q small Or
chard that furnished grapes. ngs, APP
pies, peaches-in fact. every fruit ex-
cept that for which the valley has
the front yard number OF shade trees
improved the scenery and furnished an
excellent invitation TO a siesta.
The Don's own distillery furnished
drink, while his herds and Indian SER
wants provided meat and venison for
the visitors. Horses and servants were
always at the disposal of guest, an
invaluable aid to Vancouver upon his
visit.
The Sunoi homestead was the center
OF culture and refinement In the valley.
Many OF the state functions Eere held
there. and important conferences rang
ing from the settlement OF the bound
ary line between the pueblo of San
Jose and the mission OF Santa Clara to
treaties with trsacherous Indians took
place under it's roof. Legislators would
gather within Its walls 20 discuss vari-
GUS measures with the owner, and his
opinions were always listened to with
the greatest respect
AS q matter OF fact. Mr.. Sunoi has
In his possession a letter written by
Pho Pico, the Mexican Governor, In
forming him OF his appointment to

was only with his continued friendship
and advice that he could hope for q
successful administration.

Home of Two Consulates

The Sunol homestead was the head
quarters of General Fremont on his
every trip through the valley. as IL
was with every traveller OF note With
Fremont on one OF his visits to the
house was Kit Carson. the noted scout.
Realizing the character OF the whites
who were then coming to the valley
IN great numbers. Fremont advised
Sunol TO raise both the French and
Spanish flags over HIS home, an act he
was well entitled 10 perform, mas
much as his dwelling was serving as
the consulate OF both these countries.
Little heed was given this advice at
the time. but a few months later IL
was vividiy recalled 20 good advantage
when q band OF about fifty drunken
Crfngos attempted TO storm the house
20 get possession OF $4,000 worth Of
gold dust which they knew TO be
stored there. Calling Narciso to his
side. the Don sent the trembling lad
20 the cabinet in which the nags were
stored. Then, without culver or sp-
prehension, the father calmly walked
TO the nagpole q few feet In front OF
the house and hoisted the emblems.
AS Fremont had predicted, the men
were nouplused. and, after nring few
desultory shots. sulked away.

1850. though, that the old mansion
achieved greatness. In fact. II became

Murfefta was not dead. however. and
during the darkness his faithful wife
cut him free, and then and there he
registered a vow to take the life of
every white who should cross his path,
a vow he religiously kept. causing the
innocent to suffer with the guilty.
The pueblo of San Jose about that
time was a sort of converging point
for the principal trails leading up and
down the coast and for some time Mu-
rietta and his gang made it their base,
using the Sunol Hotel as their head
quarters.
Here ensued a period of Wild night
riding and revelry that would make
Robin Hood turn over in his grave with
envy if he but knew. For deeds of
derrin' do" this little band OF banditti
perhaps has never been equaled In any
country In the world.
One of the members. It is related,

chief JOY in living was to ride into q
group of coolies. grasp one OF them by
the cue, and, with dexterou5 twist or
the wrist, scalp him.
After some particularly successful
holdup back somewhere or other in
the State the band would drift back to
the hotel. where it would celebrate
with q Spanish fandange or dance.
At one time, the story is related.
Murletta with his Characteristic bra
vaIo and recklessness attended mas
querade bali held at the Half Moon
House, one of the roadhouses near by.
During the evening he became bois-
ferrous that a deputy sheriff named
Clark. woefully ignorant of his iden-
tity. placed him under arrest.

TO his hotel for the purpose of securing
bail money, which amounted to some

Versat.on which ensued Clark expressed

Lair of Banditti

BY this time the gold rush was on In
earnest and also the depredations OF
Joaquin Murietta, the Fra Diavolo OF
the now El Dorado. The story runs
that once upon a time this outlaw was
as meek and harmless as other men,
mining gold IN the San Joaquin Valley
and bringing home his spoils each
night TO his wife Rosa
One day, however, q number OF
drunken miners, euvfous OF his success.
notified him that It was UP to him to
"vamoose." A few words followed, dur
ing which Murietta was stricken to .he
ground. Upon his return to conscious
ness he found that his wife had been
grossly abused. He then packed up
their belongings and moved to Gala
veras Valley.
A short time after his arrival he was
accused by group of drunken Gringos
OF stealing a particularly fine horse
which he was riding. As a matter Of
fact the animal was the property of Ills
stepbrother. This he proved to the
satisfaction OF his captors, who hanged
the brother for possessing such a valu-
able nag, then strung him up to a tree
and logged him until they believed him
dead for daring to cross them.

who was IN camp q few miles east OF
the present town OF Santa Clara at
the head of about 200 Mexican troops.
Fremont with about an equal number
was camped on the Santa Clara road.
Shrewdiy surmising that even the son
of Don Antonio Sunol would not be
above suspicion the old don concealed
the message between two welts OF
leather in the boys boot and sent him
out ostensibly for the home OF Forbes
In Santa Clara.
AS was suspected Fremonts men
captured the boy and, taking him into

He then helped him mount HIS horse
and watched him ride away-straight
into the camp OF the enemy.
The friendship that existed between
the Sunols and the American soldiery
stationed in the valley was cerented
in the following way While en- route
