The  girls  rushed  upon  Carpio  and  wrested
the  rifle  from  him,  he  then  seized  a bow  and
arrows  and  opened  fire  upon  them ; being  again
disarmed  he  fled  to  the  mountains.  The  two
girls  carried  the  wounded  man  to  the  settle-
ments at  Three  Rivers,  and  there  told  their  sad
story  which  was  corroboated  by  Acosta  before
he  died.
