116 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 this day, nothing. Well, then [another group] came, too. But that was recently. It was probably, it was probably sixty years ago. But it wasn't the federals anymore. It wasn't them. I don't know where they came from. Well, then they came. As for me, I was a courier. As for me, I was shot at. I was shot at, but we weren't hit. I was a courier. I arrived at the district attorney's in Tuxtla. "Leave immediately!" he said. "Okay!" I said. "Since the bullets haven't reached [us]," he said. I was a courier for the boss, Claudio. Yes! We were waiting there. Then the mail arrived. "Go immediately!" said the district attorney. "Go right away. Dash off!" he said. Ooh, hell, we came back ve—ry fast. Well then, the bullets were coming close. They didn't shoot yet. They didn't have orders yet to fire the cannons. But Tuxtla was ready, then. We came back. The woman in charge of the mail there didn't come out. She was shut up there. You see, we came back. We hurried. We slept in Chiapa. But I couldn't go any further. The forces were stacked up here, here, here in Chiapa. Ooh, but compadre, like a—nts! Ooh, it was too mu—ch, too much! Well then, our horses were scattered there, munching corn, since we were travelling now by night. We didn't sleep anymore. Since it was the mail it continued on, the very same night. The soldiers came. They came to catch the horses. The house was locked. "They're for the mail," they were told by the owner of the house. "Even so!" they said. "But sir, you can't!" they were told. Three or four officers came, all on horseback. "What did they say?" the soldiers were asked. "Nothing, it's the mail," they said. "Ah, don't touch them, then!" the soldiers were told. But [the mail] passed through, compadre, but ooh, sonofabitch, the brutes, there were so many bastards. So many! [Was that before the war between Pineda and Obregon?] Ah, Pineda was later, of course, compadre. It wasn't yet. It was later. It wasn't yet. That was against the government. Pineda was afterwards, of course. I was already a full-grown man! I already had a child. I already had Maryan. He was this big! Well then, they were there. The soldiers were there at the bridge, at the big bridge in Tuxtla. The troops came down here. They didn't do anything at all. Little by little, gradually they came. Little by little, gradually the machine guns came. They went on. We were watching them all pass by. "As for you, we won't bother you, since you're the mail," they 7ora ch'abal.

said. "Where is your pass?" they said. "Here!" I said. "He can't [be bothered]," they said. "Hell, none of the soldiers can [bother him]," they said. "They can't," they said. Well then, they passed by. After they had passed, "Leave!" said an officer, bu—t the sonofabitch was the top man. "[Who's the] courier?" "I am, sir," I said. "Leave, then!" he said. "That's all. There isn't a soldier left. Give the dispatches here, here to the courier!" he said. "Won't something happen to me?" I asked. "Nothing will happen to you," he said. "Nothing will happen to you. Five soldiers will go. They will go back with you. Go and join them!" he said. The soldiers came back. I went to join them. I passed by to ask for the messages. "Let's go. Go on, now!" he said. As for the fugitives, ooh, there were so ma—ny, hell! At the bridge they were spraying each other [with bullets]. First, he fired. I've forgotten what the name of the top officer wa—s. I don't remember anymore what his name was. But a paper [with his name on it] is here, compadre. He gave it to me, the governor gave it to me. His paper is here. Eh, I don't know what his name was. Bu—t he was pursued down. He was chased a long way, because they were attacking each other furiously. There were lo—ts of dead. [The mail] reached San Cristobal. "How is it?" they asked. "But I don't know how it turned out since I had already left," I said. "Eh, but isn't [the report] that came in by phone true—that you were killed," they said. "No, I didn't die. The district attorney told me to leave immediately," I said. Then he said ... I don't know what the general's name was, hell! I don't know what it was. I used to know. Ah, General Flores! But he was the top man, the bastard. "Go on! Nothing will happen to you. Take the messages here!" he said. Five soldiers went. "Nothing will happen to you," he said. We came along. Ooh, would you believe it, compadre, dawn broke [when we were in] our country. Sonofabitch, but [we were so] sleepy, sonofabitch! Eh, don't think we had torches, of course. Just four bells so we could hear if the horses fled. They came jangling along. It quieted down. It stopped. General Flores cooled down. [The war] didn't [last] very long, either. Then Pineda got up on his ass. [He was] an ugly man with a pock-marked face, the bastard. An ugly old man with a pock-marked face. He was Alberto Espinosa, not Pineda. Alberto Espinosa! XUN VASKIS 117 "Li7e!" xkut. "7Eso mu xu7," xi. "Skotol soltero karajo mu xu7," xi. "Mu xu7," xi 7un. Bweno pwes day, 7ijelav 7un, laj jelavuk 7un.
