That little five-year-old was the young mine operator. "I have," he answered calmly. "You know, then, that a later governor of the territory, Manuel Armijo, illegally carved half a million acres out of the former grant and gave it to José Moreño, from whom your grandfather bought it." The miner's face froze to impassivity. He was learning news.
No use your trying to dissuade me. I shall go in search of this forban direct to the valley of the Del Norte. Don't fear that I shall fail in obtaining justice, whatever Don Manuel Armijo may do to defeat it." "Well, if you are determined I shall not hold out against you. Only I fear your errand may be fruitless, if not worse.
Ay, there was another," continued Saint Vrain, with a peculiar smile; "but what could have brought him there is that which puzzles me. Armijo could not have seen him: but go on." I related to Saint Vrain the whole of my conversation with the stranger, and the incidents that led to the breaking up of the fandango. "It is odd very odd! What could he want with your horse?
An hour suffices to drive up the "caballada," and remount the bandits at any friendly interior ranch. Obstinate silence is all the roadside dwellers' return to questions. Valois cons over the bloody record of the last two years. The desperate crimes begin with Andres Armijo and Tomas Maria Carrillo. They were unyielding ex-soldiers. Both of these have been run to earth.
On the 29th an express from Bent's Fort brought news to General Kearney from Santa Fe that Governor Armijo had called the chief men together to deliberate on the best means of defending the city; that hostile preparations were rapidly going on in all parts of New Mexico; and that the American advance would be vigorously opposed.
And now this revolutionary usurper is in full authority, his acts imitating his master, Armijo, like him in secret league with the savages, even consorting with the red pirates of the plains, taking part in their murderous marauds, and sharing their plunder. Despite his rapid military promotion and the ill-gotten wealth he has acquired, Colonel Gil Uraga is anything but a happy man.
