They broke up our threshing machines, seeders, reapers and farm machinery They killed our cows for beef, ate our hogs and chickens, and they took our n w m and potatoes and turned their horses loose i our oats and wm. I our homes they smashed our organs, n portraits and pictures and destroyed other household utilities. There were jars of h i t , preserves and jellies, flour, groceries and provisions of various kinds, and they invited ai the surrounding [Mexican] ranchers to l wme and help themselves to whatever they wanted of food, fumiture, harnesses, plows and farm tools. They emptied bed ticks on the floor and took the cloth-even took cloth off of the ceilings that had held the wallpaper-and aiso took all of the scenery off the stage in the school house.
