On the 27th of October, 1598, Don Juan de Onate visited Acoma and received the obediencia of the pueblo. It is said that some of the Acoma chiefs tried to lure Onate into an estufa to see something "very curious"; once inside, they planned to kill him. But Onate declined to enter. He left the pueblo in safety and continued his journey westward.~
Capt. Gaspar de Villagrâ, the poet warrior to whom we are indebted for many graphie accounts of these days, reached Acoma shortly after Onate's departure. He was alone, having only his horse and his dog for companions. He was received by Zutucapan, an Acoma chief, who tried to resist Onate. So unfriendly did this chief seem, Villagrâ refused to dismount. Instead, he hurried on to join Onate. His account of his escape is dramatic and at points ludicrous. He states that his horse fell into a pit which the Indians had dug for this purpose and had covered over with brush. Leaving his horse dead in the pit (in another connection he mentions still having his noble charger some time after tbis adventure), he went on afoot. There was snow on the ground, so he reversed his boots to deceive his pursuers (!). He suffered greatly from hunger and finally decided to eat his dog. But "as the faithful animal with the life torrent pouring from his side turned to lick the hand of his slayer, Villagrâ had no heart to eat the food obtained at such a cost." 10 Late in September (1598) Don Juan Zaldivar, the maestro de campo of Onate, arrived at Acoma with 20 or 30 men. Leaving a few men at the foot of the mesa to guard the horses, Zaldivar and his men went up to the village. Here they were received in friendly fashion by the natives. But while the Spaniards were wandering about the pueblo, scattered here and there, the Acomas suddenly fell upon them with furious yells and war clubs. Zaldivar himself was struck down by Zutucapan, the wily chief. Five soldiers ran to the edge of the mesa and jumped over the cim; one man was killed in the fall, but the others alighted without injury. AU the rest were killed. The four survivors joined the men with the horses and escaped, joining Onate."
Bolton, H. E., Spanish Exploration in the Southwest, pp. 182-183. Bandelier attempted to identify these fields as those in the Acomita Valley, 12 miles north of Acoma. "The distance indicated by him (Espejo), 2leagues, does not agree; but since he adds 'on a middle-sized river 1 infer that their fields were on some point along the course of the Blue-water."

We are indebted to Villagrâ for the aoconnt of this episode. While we need not accept each détail as assured fact, the central faot is true. Zaldivar and many of his men were killed at Acoma at this time. See Bancroft, Arizona and New Mexico, pp. 142-143.
