'Que habiendo hecho averiguaciones sobre la muerte violenta del Mayordomo, resultó que éste fué envenenado por el neofito Canuto que á lo que parece es un tulareño cristiano de la ranchería de Fontach.' Having caught him with an accomplice, García put both at the judge's disposal; 'dicho Mayordomo murió el dia 9 del presente.' Gloss: named-neophyte killing of a mission mayordomo by poison at San Miguel, Aug 1839 — Indian resistance to the administrator regime in its sharpest form; 'Fontach' is a Tulare-valley ranchería name worth chasing.
