        At Branciforte, certain evil-doers disobeyed and even ridiculed the alcalde's orders. Comandante Castro sent Lieutenant Soto with a force to aid the municipal authorities. Nine, all members of the Robles, Salazar, and Soria families, were arrested. On the march back to San Juan the prisoners refused to obey orders, and were fired upon, Avelino Robles being killed and Nicolas Robles badly wounded. Reports based on this affair and the plots of Ramirez, were circulated in the south, to the effect that the whole north was in revolt; but Prefect Pena issued a denial of such reports, presenting the death of Robles and the imprisonment of his companions as a salutary example for the benefit of the Angelinos, showing the energy of the government and the inevitable consequences of insubordination. 20

        20 April 19th, Castro to Vallejo, with marginal order of the latter that the prisoners be tried by military law. Vallejo, Doc., MS., vi. 456. May 2d, Prefect Pena's circular, in S. Diego, Arch., MS., 223; Monterey, Arch., MS., ix. 7-8; Dept. Rec., MS., x. 24-5. May 23d, Castro to Vallejo. No proceedings by military law because the gov. had banished the prisoners from Cal. or from the Monterey district. V. blames C. for having permitted an 'incompetent authority' to interfere. Vallejo, Doc., MS., vii. 131.

      DEATH
      1839
      April 19, A group of young Branciforteans, including several sons of Branciforte pioneer Jose Antonio Robles, had been running wildly around the countryside stealing horses and raising havoc and attracting the eye of the young ladies of the villa. They defied authorities so often that a band of them were were rounded up, fastened together by a rope and were marched off to San Juan Bautista. As horsemen they felt insulted and humiliated by being force to walk. Defiantly they refused to comply with their guards orders. Avelino Robles tore off his shirt and flung it at the soldiers. In response, they opened fire. Avelino was shot dead and his brother Nicholas wounded.
