The Mexicans were quiet for a while an l finally started in again and this time Sands and Roseiett went over 10 the tent and again requested them 10 stop. instead of complying, one of the Mexiesns, Jose Maria Esponisa made a rush at Sands He told the Mexican to stop but the Mexican commenced cursing him and still making toward him, Sands fired one shot in the air and as he did so he saw from the fash of the gun that the Mexican had a knife in his hand and was still coming. Sands then fired at him the tullet hitting him just under the right shoulder and going completely through him. Just as he fired Sands was hit by another Mexican and Was knocked out.
