"They were also to hunt for a Boras Indian named Katenere, a former rubber-worker of the district of Abisinia, who had escaped, and, having captured some rifles, had raised a band of his fellow-Indians, and had successfully resisted all attempts at his recapture. Katenere had shot Bartolemé Zupaeta, the brother-in-law of Julio C. Arana, and was counted a brave man and a terror to the Peruvian rubber-workers. The expedition set out from Morelia, and at the first Indian 'house' they reached in the forest they caught eight Indians, five men and three women. They were all tied up with ropes, their hands tied behind their backs, and marched on farther. At the next house they reached they caught four Indians, one woman and three men. Vasquez, who was in charge, ordered one of the _muchachos_ to cut this woman's head off. He ordered this for no apparent reason that James Chase knows of, simply because 'he was in command, and could do what he liked.' The _muchacho_ cut the woman's head off; he held her by the hair of her head, and, flinging her down, hacked her head off with a machete. It took more than one blow to sever the head--three or four blows. The remains were left there on the path, and the expedition went on with the three fresh male prisoners tied up with the others. The date would be about May, 1910. "They were then approaching the house where they believed Katenere to be living. He was the chief of the Indians in whose direction they were going--the fugitives from the rubber-work. At a point about half an hour's walk from this Indian house Vasquez ordered him, Ocampo, and two of the _muchachos_ to remain there to guard the prisoners, while he himself (Vasquez) went on with the rest of the expedition. This party, so Vasquez told them when he had returned, reached the house of Katenere about six in the evening. Katenere and his wife, or one of his wives, were in the house--only these two persons. Vasquez caught the woman, but Katenere got away. Vasquez stayed there and sent four of the _muchachos_ into the forest to find and capture the rifles that Katenere had got. When the _muchachos_ got to this other house in the forest they found several Indians in it, whom they captured, and four rifles. The Indians were tied up with their hands behind them, but after a time the head _muchacho_, a Boras Indian, nicknamed Henrique, ordered them to be released. He then sent on his three _muchachos_ to another house to bring in some Indians whilst he stayed with the men whom he had just released. These Indians, it should be noted, were all Boras Indians, Henrique as well as the rest of the _muchachos_. Whilst Henrique was with these men he found amongst them an Indian girl of whom he was very fond and who had probably joined them in their flight. He endeavoured to seize this girl, and in a quarrel that followed he was killed. The three _muchachos_, on their return with two prisoners, found their leader
