They rode out of the pueblo, carrying thelr wounded nnd vowlng to bo revenged on tlii. flrst Laguna they should mect. Two dnyr after the rald Jose Entlno, a rlch I.anuna, was mlsRlng from his home. A ilav later Enslno's horso returned to the pueblo rlderless, but the saddle wak coy e.-.d wlth blood. Susplclon Immedlately fell upon the Navajos, snd hundreds of Lagunas and tholr friends were soon r.o.ourliiK tho country ln search of hlm. A pnrty or senrchers found the body of tho murdered man ot tho bottom of a deep arroyo, nbout three mlles from I.a gi.'ia. Examlnation proved concluslvely that Enslno had been iubjeeted to the most crucl tortures nnd then benton to doath wlth olubs and stonos. The trall lendlng to the nrroyo alRO sbowed that Enslno had beon rldlng In company wlth two others. hls horso belng Ih the mld <llc Who his companions were iu not known, hut If they were from Lnguna lt Ib probnble that they, too. shared the lnto of Enslno. The Lagunas arj greatly wrought up over the affalr, and.dCj.not hesltnte to declare that the -mutw la tlin work of the angfy Navajos. They declare that they wlll be rovepged: ( , WARLIKE CONDUCT.

All efforts to locate hlm hnd proved futllc, and hls voluntary eurrender was qulto a surprlso. The roal eon.ation In Ouebra and Laguna, how? ever, was when nbout half a hundred Nrvojos, all heavlly armod, wlth palnt on, apparontly looklng for trouble, rode tnlo Laguna and attended the prcllmlnary hearing bofore Justice Qunno, They mnda no dlsorderly demonstrntlon, nnd ncted nr a bodyguard for thelr accused trlhes mnn. After tho hearing they rode back to tholr pueblo, Both tho Lagunas and tho Navajos aro In an ugly mood, nnd there Is no cor telnty as tn Just what wlll result when feellng runs aa hlgh aa lt does now. The I.agunas are stlll much exclted over the Navajo rald-on tholr Yllfajje aud the murder nf tholr trlbesmnn. They declare thnt tho murder parllculnrly must he evonged and that the gullty one pay the extreme ponalty. The prlsoner .itoutly malntnlns hls Innoconce, and snyt' that ho e?n prove an nllhl wlthout any difflculty, ONLY TO PKFEND HIM. Trouble was expecled when tha arni-d Navajos appeared on the scene. It was not thought thnt thoy woi|ld allow Nnr? elsEo to be taken to I.os Lunas, and a jillohed battle was antlclpatod. It seems, IMwever. that the purpose nf ihe Navajos waa slmply to defend the prlsoner In cnie the attack on hlm hy tha Lagunaa, which they feared, w_s made.
