SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO SAN LORENZO 



[b. a. e. 



Indians in the neighborhood of this 

 mission belong to the Shoshonean lin- 

 guistic stock and are known as Juanenos 

 (q. v.), though it is probable that the 

 mission included neophytes from more 

 distant groups. ( f. h. a. b. l. )

and 3,500 sheep. The inhabitants had 

 become reduced to 58 in 1785, and to only 

 34 in 1793. It ceased to exist as an inde- 

 pendent mission before the close of the 

 century. See Bancroft, No. Mex. States,

 the visita of a mission established by the

 of the pueblos of the Jemez, probably 

 Amushungkwa (q. v.), at the junction of

 of Jemez r., in i^. central New Mexico. 

 It contained a church. See Bandelier in

San Lazaro (Saint Lazarus) . A former 

 Tano pueblo 12 m. s. w. of the present 

 Lamy, on the s. bank of the Arroyo del 

 Chorro,SantaFeco., N. Mex. Prior to the 

 Pueblo uprisi ng in 1 680 it was a visita of the 

 mission of San Marcos, but between that 

 date and 1692 the inhabitants were forced 



to abandon it by the combined forces of 

 the Pecos and the Rio Grande Keresan 

 tribes and to transfer their pueblo to the 

 neighborhood of the present Santa C'ruz, 

 where the town was rebuilt under the 

 same name, but was abandoned in 1694.

San Lazaro. A formersettlement, prob- 

 ably of the Papago, and the seat of a Span- 

 ish mission; situated on the Rio Santa 

 Cruz, in Ion. 110° 30^ just below the 

 Arizona-Sonora lioundary, at the site of 

 the present town of that name. The mis- 

 sion was doubtless established by Father 

 Kino about 1697. It was abandoned in 

 1845 on account of Apache depredations.

San Lorenzo ( Saint Lawrence) . A Fran- 

 ciscan mission, founded in Texas, Jan. 26, 

 1762 (not in 1761 as Arricivita says), for 

 the Lipan after they were frightened from 

 San Saba mission by the attack of the 

 Comanche and others in 1758. The site 

 was at El Cation, on the Rio San Joseph, 

 now the upper Nueces, and not the San 

 Antonio, as has been conjectured (El 

 Caiion is shown on the La Fora map, ca. 

 1767). The principal chief concerned 

 wasCabezon, w'lio was made "governor" 

 of the pueblo of neophytes, called Santa 

 Cruz. He stipulated and was granted 

 three conditions before entering the mis- 

 sion. These were that the Spaniards 

 should (1) protect itis people from the 

 Comanche during a great buffalo hunt, (2) 

 aid them in a campaign against that tribe, 

 and (3) deliver to him the captive daugh- 

 ter of the Natag6 (Kiowa Apache) head 

 chief (Report of R;ibago y Teran, Jan. 31, 

 1761, MS. in Archivo Gen.). Two weeks 

 afterward NuestraSenora de laCandelaria 

 (q. v.) was founded nearby. 



A year after their establishment, Ximi- 

 nez (quoted by Arricivita, Cronica 388, 

 1792) reported that about 400 Indians 

 were in the two missions, of which this 

 one was the more prosperous. El Canon 

 had been chosen as a retreat from the 

 Comanche, and for some time it was 

 unmolested, it seems; but in 1766 and 

 1767, in retaliation for two hostile cam- 

 paigns by the Lipan, the Comanche three 

 times attacked San Lorenzo mission (Can- 

 delaria was already abandoned). In the 

 last attack it is said they killed and cap- 

 tured more than 30 Lipan and ran off
