While both parties remained thus in surprise, the fire broke out in
the camp and there was a general rush to it-all being endangered
and before the fire was extinguished they were all intermixed and
exchanging friendly salutations. They met-shook hands and the
Indians sent out for a bear they had killed and they had a glorious
feast together. The Americans having ate nothing for twenty four
hours previously. They parted-the Indians promising to meet them
the next day at their camp. On their return they met a company of
the Mexicans who proceeded to the Indian camp but they had left-
taking the direction, towards La Bahia and the Mexicans pursued
after and met them at the Brazos River and by strategem induced
them to believe, they were of the royal party, charging the Indians of
their connection with the Republicans. The chief pulled out his com-
mission from Arredondo and the Mexicans decoyed them unarmed to
their camp and shot the whole party-Taking their women and stock
which they brought in. THE END

months after the defeat at Medina, while Toledo was trying to raise a force sufficient

pears the following: "ERRORS IN THE MAGEE EXPEDITION,-In the nar-
rative of the Magee Expedition which we furnished a short time since occurred
