118 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 After that, well, he came when the soldiers were mobilized, ooh! There was a Mariano Osuna living then. He was living here [in Naben Chauk]. His children were born here. Old Chusel was born here. That pimp was born here. But he was a leader. He was a real leader. "Join up with Pineda! You'll see, he's the boss, he's our father!" he said. Because the people of Zinacantan Center didn't want to. Well then, the [Pinedists] kept on [causing trouble]. We were going to talk to the [government] soldiers in Chiapa. We were scared. We thought we would go talk to them, [taking them] a basket of passion fruit and a basket of eggs. We were scared. We turned back. Then it was Old Petul [Tzu]. He went, indeed! And Petul—just Petuls—Petul Chiku7. And I don't know what his name was, here at home—Maryan, Maryan Xut. The three of them went, awful snail gatherers. They didn't go [directly] to talk to [the soldiers]. [They were] posing as snail gatherers. They went to gather them at the edge of Chiapa. It's said they were seen. They were seen by the soldiers. "Well, what are you doing here?" they were asked. "Sir, we're going to talk to the governor," they said. "Ah, let's go, man!" [The soldiers] threw their arms around them as they went. The three of them got in [a truck]. Hell, they went. Ooh, they went off! They left. [Was it Old Petul Tzu?] Yes, Old Petul Tzu, [and] Maryan Xut, [and] Petul Chiku7. The three of them went. They went off, indeed! The next day they simply were accepted. But don't think there was hu—nger, hell! There were a devil of a lot of co—ws [to feed the soldiers], hell! I don't know what the pay was—how much pay they probably earned a day. I don't know if it was, eh ... I think it was twenty pesos apiece. They went to Tuxtla by truck. They went. And then they gave orders. Then they were accepted. As for me, I had a corn field here in Joyijel [Roundabout]. It was in April. My corn field was there. I went to replant my corn field. Here, above Joyijel, I met two Chamulans with little aprons. They had several mangoes. "Where did you go, Chamulans?" I said. "We went to Muk'ta Jok' [Big Dig]," they said. Well then, "What's it like? Is it true there's a fight?" I asked. "We never heard about it," they said. "We never heard about it," they said. "Where did you get the mangoes, then?" I asked. "Ah, it's because—ah my Zinacantec—they gave them to us," they said. "Oh well!" I said. "All right, then," I said. "Eh, where are you from?" they asked.

little, gradually, the jerks were drinking their posol. "Here in Naben Chauk [Thunderbolt Lake]," I said. "Sonofabitch, but [how] can we find the house of Xun Vaskis?" they asked. "Shit, Chamulan, that's me!" I said. "Good grief, it's you, <strong>Lo</strong>rd" they said. They admitted it. "Eh, you're to meet our father, Petul [Tzu]. The war will start tomorrow," they said. "They will come from Ixtapa. They will leave. Pineda will be killed," they said. "Okay," I said. Ooh, I never replanted my corn field. I came to report it here. I came to report it. We went to watch there at the graveyard [in Zinacantan Center]. We watched. Eh, first the great cannons were really boo—ming now. They had arrived in Ixtapa. Booming now, booming now, booming now. Ooh, they kept it up for a long time. Every few minutes, "put put put" came [the sound] of the fucking buzzard [plane] in the sky. It sprayed [bullets] down on the mountain. The Pinedists were killed in Ixtapa. They were all killed there. I don't know if there were twenty or twenty-five they caught by the arms, like this. They captured a lot. They captured them. There was an officer, a Pinedist soldier [who had] a tanned goatskin, with the hai—r turned in. That's what the soldier was wearing. That's what he was wearing. You see, the soldiers arrived at Tzoj Lum [Red Earth]. There are cane fields there. They went. I went, myself. Old Petul [Tzu] sent orders. Probably twenty men went. Here by the cliffs, here where the cliffs are. The soldiers were pi—led there. You couldn't pa—ss! "Who goes there?" they said. "We're friends," I said. "Okay, come on, then!" they said. We reached where the soldiers were. The officers were there. Bu—t the leader himself was there. Ooh, the jugs were in a row this long—Tzoj Lum cane liquor. "You've come!" they said. "I've come," I said. "I don't know where Old Petul is," I said. "He isn't here. He went to catch some cows down below," they said. "Will you wait?" "I'll wait," I said. "Well, that's fine that you've come, because you've come for good," said [the officer]. "Very good, sir," I said. There was a gourd this big. "Drink this!" he said. "Drink it! When you've finished it ask for more!" he said. Ooh, how could you finish it? Hell, it was terribly strong cane liquor. "All of you drink it!" he said. "We've had all we want, sir. Thank you," I said. XUN VASKIS 119 chuch' yuch'imo7 i pentejo 7une. "Li7 ta Naben Chauke," xkut. "Puta pero mi jta van ta sa7el sna la Xun Vaskes?" xi 7un. "7A la myerta, Chamiila, vo7on!" xkut 7un.
