He said with a roar of laughter, "Armijo and his troops have gone to h -ll, and the canyon is all clear." On reaching the canyon, it was found to be true that the Mexican troops had dispersed and fled to the mountains, just as the old Arapahoe chief had said they would.
"Hooray for old Missouri!" shouts a teamster. "Come, boys! Let's show these yer greasers a Virginny break-down. `Cl'ar the kitchen, old folks, young folks." "Go it hoe and toe! `Old Virginny nebir tire!" "Viva el Gobernador! Viva Armijo! Viva! viva!" An arrival at this moment caused a sensation in the room.
A stout, fat, priest-like man entered, accompanied by several others, it was the Governor and his suite, with a number of well-dressed citizens, who were no doubt the elite of New Mexican society. Some of the new-comers were militaires, dressed in gaudy and foolish-looking uniforms that were soon seen spinning round the room in the mazes of the waltz. "Where is the Senora Armijo?"
"We deny it, of course I mean, Miss Valdés does. She shows that in his will the old don mentions it, and that her father lived there without interruption, even though Manuel Armijo later granted the best of it to José Moreño." "It would be pretty tough for her to be fired out now. I reckon she's attached to the place, her and her folks having lived there so long," the young man mused aloud.
The Mexicans had become alarmed for fear they might be attacked on parting with the United States soldiers; so, on meeting with Kit Carson, who was well known to them, they offered three hundred dollars if he would carry a letter to Armijo who was then Governor of New Mexico, and lived at Santa Fé.
There were rumors, currently reported at that time and believed, that a large body of Texians were waiting on the road to plunder and murder this wagon party, and thus retaliate the treatment Armijo had been guilty of in the case of the "famous Muir Prisoners;" but, in order that this should not happen in Territory belonging to the United States, the War Department had ordered Captain Cook and the dragoons to guard the property as far as the fording of the Arkansas River, which was then the boundary line between the two countries.
With him he made Armijo's camp and related to the Mexican general the details of the terribly unequal battle. Armijo, upon receipt of the news, "turned tail," and retreated to Santa Fe.
When I tell you that he rose to his present position by just such a crime as that we've been speaking of, you may then understand the sort of law administered under his rule. Manuel Armijo was a shepherd, employed on one occasion to drive a flock of thirty thousand sheep the property of his employer, the Senor Chavez to the market Chihuahua.
Thick Cream Sauce Melt two tablespoons butter; add two heaping tablespoons cornstarch; one teaspoon salt and one saltspoon pepper; add slowly one pint hot cream and beat well. From SEÑORA TERESA ARMIJO DE SYMINGTON, of New Mexico. First prepare your puffs by the following recipe.
On the contrary, as he approached the cuartel, he saw strange sights, and heard sounds corresponding. Everything was in confusion soldiers rushing to and fro, uttering seditious cries. Among these were "Viva Santa Anna!" "Viva el General Armijo!" "Viva el Coronel Uraga!" Beyond doubt it was a pronunciamento.
