The two parties camped together for some time, smoked the pipe of peace, and the Mexicans after paying them a liberal bonus for their supposed dead braves bade them a friendly farewell, taking with them the few head ofhorses returned, and for which they had paid almost the full value, departed for their respective ranches.
