straight. Why, death was almost a casual
thing"
1T had to be done occasionally" said
the captain. And his tone as we'll as the
merest flicker of a smile binted at the firm
ness of the men who administered personal
and public justice in those days.
CAPTAIN HOWARD is the only man to-
- day who can give first hand information
Of the capture and death Of Joaquin Muri-
eta, famed robber chief who terrorized
California in the bloody year Of 1858. For
he is the last surviving member Of that
remarkable company Of twenty men known
as the California Rangers, in whomthe Leg
islature vested the power to capture, try
and execute the bandits that were over
running the State.
In the spring Of 1858 trading posts were
raided and plundcrcd; stages were held up
and the occupants robbed and murdered.
When GoIernor Bigler appointed Captain
Harry Love to head the Rangers the country
from San Diego to Stockton was virtually
in state of arms. Joaquin Murietta the
executive apparently back of all the lawless
bands, maintained an organization with
ramihcations and means OF intelligence cy-
tending into Mexico. So when tt: hangers
set out to- clear the State, their first oh
Jective was the capture of that desperate
leader.
Like many men who have faced danger,
Captain Howard tells the long thrilling tale
in simple fashion. He recalls every Ranger
and his qualifications. for the men were well
known to him. Captain Love, the veteran
Indian fighter. seems to have delegated
TO him the important task of selecting the
members of the company. So the Rangers
went into action essentially a Howard
organization down even to the horses. many
of which were thoroughbreds from his Buena
Vista ranch.

experienced probably only once in a decade.
The few simple directions given by nur-
serymen call for a mulchiug of the ground
at the base Of plants with a three to four
inch blanket of leaves or straw; or a better
plan with tobacco stems OF well -rotted
manure for their feeding value. Strictly
avoid the use Of fresh manure. Apply at
once or after the ground is frozen, but II

when covered with snow. If exposed to q
severe northwest wind 1t is advisable to
give cvergreens protection in the form OF
a canvas or burlap screen. or lightly wrap
ping the plants with an ''overcoat" Of straw
or hemlock branches. 1t is also strongly
urged that before hard freezing conditions
set in the plants be given a thorough soak
ing Of water.

Plant Mulching Explained

A COMMON impression that the prac-
4 tice of mulching plants at the approach
of cold weather is for the purpose of provid-
ing protection against extreme cold is ex-
ploded by nurserymen, who advise steps TO
be taken for proper protection of plants. The
purpose of the mulch is really to keep the
plants in cold storage, to maintain a cold.

mulch serves its usefulness by preventing a
sudden change in temperature of the ground.

that works havoc.
For plants that do not have we'll ripened

tured Joaquin as a rebel chief in whom were
combined bravery, chivalry and the physical
attributes pleasing to the romantic minded.
To Captain Howard, however, he was merely
a criminal who possessed considerable cxecu-
tive ability. Perhaps it is natural that the
desperate should be viewed in less rosy
light by man who rode with the Rangers
through the summer heat to Los Angeles and
back again through Fort TETON Pass to the
Arroyo Cantua in the San Joaquin Valley,
where the bandits were finally surprised and
all killed or captured The Joaquin Murietta
he knew was killed in a running fight and
later beheaded in order that the Rangers
might carry back his head TO the State
