 one was there. Strange to say they did not care to go on the roof for fear of being shot, so their inspection was hurried one, after breaking into 'hese rooms that were not open As 1 they were coming out they met an
 as for the prisoner that had been caught, and were just ready to shoot him. Only his ready Spanish and clear head saved him as he talked to
 the mob. To those women who could not understand Spanish, the agony of
 those few moments while the guns
 were leyeled and the mob was talking furiously, is ebyond expression Fi- nally they went away to Lombard and search the Sarayia house on the plaza. Failing to find the sharpshooters there. they went on to She Santa Ana chrrch In one of the towers there they found him and killed him. Simi- lar occurrences took place in other parts of the town, so that the firing was continual, and :he bullets and bombs kept everything in an uproar. One sharpshooter was caui lt on the roof of Don. Rancho Bradley's house. All afternoon the shooting and bonn barding of doors, as the footing con tinued kept up and just at dusk a sharp skirmsh took place in the street near the mission. The guard at the mission was faithful and kept us from being molested by the nu- merous bands that came by. How ever the American men did not sleep, but kept watch in relays of threes and fours No one thought of un- dressing those nights, and those who did attempt to sleep, did so with one eye and both ears on the alert !t was not until the third and fourth days that people began to remember tooth brushes and similar luXuries. When anyone washed his or her face it was counted an event, and to comb ones hair was a sign of relaxation.
 The Chiuamen had asked the Amer ican consul for protection, and quite few of them were at the mission. They cooked and served the meals when they were not too frightened. They were so frightened the first day that they hid under beds or any poss- ble cover Four hid under Miss Vas quez' bed, while the mob searched for arms and ammunition she knelt by her bed and prayed. The third day the Jefes began to assume con trol of their men. Urbino being Jete General. he took the Richielieu as his headquarters, sent for the China men to cook for him. turned the plaza and the street around il into a stand for the soldiers horses and his auto mobile borrowed of Cubelo) was, each time he ordered it, driven right under the Portales and up 10 the very door The other Jefes established themselves in such houses as suited them one in the house across from the International Hotel another in Max Damms house, another in the hospital another in inc house next dor to McCaughans, another in Mir. Woods old home. Mir. Aguirre se- cured a guard to prevent any further molestation to the American Grocery, and that same guard stabled his hors- es among the Watson's flowers. The volunteers were hunted down and held for ransom Many of them es- capped toward Mazatlan and Mexico City. Emilio Bracho was killed while trying to escape. But none of them were executed.
 The banks were taken over and the depositors informed that no check would be cashed except it were en-. dorsed by UrbinO, which meant that he refused to endorse any check, and that no money was to be had. He is- sued d proclamation that all stolen goods must be returned within forty eight hours. but none of it was--great business this staiyng out of sight un- til the footing was over and then demanding that the stolen goods oe returned It was very evident that he continued to ride in Curbelo's auto mobile.
 The next act was to arrest the ma jority of these wealthy Mexicans and put them in the pen, demanding large ransoms of each One million pesos was demanded of Don Antonio Gurza, and other were treated in like fash ion. Since Urbno has no conception of how much one million pesos is, he is being compromised with and these
 men are. one by one, being released
 on the payment of several thousand
 each. The various Jefes had made Urbino Jefe General because he was
