not right, for a rattle OF arms came
from the lower town and the captain
was up and away to marshal his men
to the defense.
So far In the siege Del Rey had kept

had sent men around to slip up near
the town and at the first fusillade nom

the creek.
Then IL was that the ever-watchful
rurales proved their worth. As the
rebels appeared in the open they ran
to the outlying houses and, fighting
from the fat roofs. checked the ao-

of rebels had rushed down the gulch
