'Sobre pelea de Indios' — the gentiles of the ranchería next to Mission Santa Clara fought the 'Serranos,' with several *Cristianos* (neophytes) of the mission taking part; Sgt. Pedro Amador dispatched, found 2–3 Christians already flogged by the friars (RR. Ministros); he reprimanded the *cabecillas* of all the neighboring rancherías, warning that if they again 'convidaban algunos cristianos para sus alborotos, serían castigados,' and punished the Christians likewise. ⭐⭐ Second incident: a Gentile called 'el Corporal Trabajador del Pueblo' (a mission-Indian work-foreman) 'andaba haciendo una junta para ir á dar guerra á otros Gentiles por una muger' — seized, given 'unos azotes,' freed after 3 days' arrest. Indigenous inter-group warfare + a woman as *casus belli* + neophyte participation + a mission office-holder leading a raid (cf. Doc 139). Orig. pp.225–226.
