Nogales, A. T., Jan. 3.—The following account is given of the killing, a few days ago, of Santiago Rojas, his son Francisco and grandson Manuel, near Rancho de Navajos, on the road to Ventanos, at which place Leon Baldwin was killed. While driving pack mules together early in the morning Manuel Rojas discovered a man on horseback in an unfrequented locality. He aroused his companions, and the three started to overtake the rider. While following up the trail they ran into the camp of a party of fourteen bandits belonging to Bernal's band, and were fired upon. Santiago Rojas' head was blown literally into pieces. Francisco's body was found full of bullet holes. In the body of Manuel, which had the least number of wounds of all, six bullet holes were found. The bandits rifled the pockets of the dead, and from Francisco took $1,500 which he was taking to Ventanos. The packs were left intact.
