ABSTRACT
Guiral met him on the road with his troop of murderous followers, who were proceeding with hurried steps to kill Salduendo. Guiral gave Aguirre the message from Don Fer nando, who took as little notice of it, as of the Prince whom he had placed in power; and, without stopping, he went onwards until he arrived at Don Fernando’s house, when he and his partizans attacked Salduendo with swords and lances. Don Fernando tried to defend the victim, he com manded and begged that they would not kill Salduendo ; but it was too late, he was soon a murdered man, like unto Pedro de Ursua his governor, whom he had assisted to slay.
