Another family listed as neighbors of Santus Mean in the 1880 Presidio County census was the family of Jose Joshone (Jose and Pirolosa and infant son David), who also had an adopted ten-year-old daughter named Puntabeta Sousodone.5 Chevato’s sister next appears at the Mescalero Reservation from October 1888 through January 1889, although she does not appear on any census taken during this time.

When they got to Chevato, he asked why they were robbing the train.“Well,” one young man said, “we are revolutionaries.
