would take the matter up with the authorities. So Domeguias, the gober- 

 nadorcillo, and others went to Vigan to see the civil governor. After Dome- 

 guias made his complaint to the governor, the governor sent for the 

 comandante politico militar of Bontoc, in whose jurisdiction Agaua was 

 at that time, and transferred the complaint to him. The comandante 

 politico militar and Domeguias then returned to the mountains; on their 

 way the comandante horsewhipped Domeguias and would have killed him 

 had he not succeeded in making his escape. The comandante whipped 

 Domeguias because he did not make his complaint direct to him; he was 

 angry and ashamed for being called to Vigan. After Domegiuas ran 

 away, nothing more was done about the complaint. 



About that time the population of Agaua had increased considerably 

 again and Agoyoc was appointed gobernadorcillo. Shortly after Agoyoc 

 was appointed, the Guinaang Busos made another head-hunting expedition 

 to Agaua in which they killed ' 9 people. The people of Agaua then 

 made a complaint direct to the comandante politico militar of Bontoc, 

 and he had the town of Guinaang set on fire and burned up. 



During the time of Malaggay as gobernadorcillo, the town of Sacasa- 

 can sent a head-hunting expedition against Agaua and killed Pagdang 

 while he was getting firewood in the nearby mountains. And while Somi- 

 lep was gobernadorcillo, the Guinaang people killed a man by the name 

 of Diaoyao, of Agaua, while he was hunting in the mountains above the 

 town. 



While Docal-las was gobernadorcillo of Agaua, the Dalican people killed 

 Anamong while he was working in his rice fields and then entered the 

 town and killed 2 more people. 



During Masidong's time as gobernadorcillo, the Mainit people killed Ban- 

 ganay and Duquey while they were planting camotes. 



When Baygo was gobernadorcillo, the Sadanga people killed Bandideo 

 and Paquio while they were cutting rice at Libo. 



While Odlas was concejal of Agaua, the Tocoean people killed Pampa- 

 mayan at Bontoc, where he was studying in the industrial school. 



All the above-mentioned events have taken place just as they are related 

 and we witness it with our signature. [The signatures and marks follow.] 



BARRIO OF BANGUITAN 



We, the old men of Banguitan, herein relate the origin of the first 

 people that settled in Banguitan, as accurately as it has been handed down 

 to us by our forefathers. 



Gayaman and his wife Pingan, together with 5 more families from Dali- 

 can, Cayos, in the confines of Cervantes, went to make their homes in a 

 place called Cablad, in the confines of Besao; they emigrated from their 

 town, Dalican, because they were afraid of other enemies, as many of their 

 townspeople had been killed by Busos. During the first year that they 

 lived at Cablad, they were engaged in herding their swine; one of Gaya- 

 man's hogs gave birth in a forest near Cablad. After Gayaman found her 

 there he built a house for himself to live in, while he was taking care of 

 his hogs; later on his wife came to live with him there, and then they 

 decided to remain there and make that their home. This place was known as 

 Banguitan. Their relatives, still living at Cablad, finally came to make 

 their home at Banguitan also. In this manner the barrio of Cablad became 

 abandoned and Banguitan became settled and the people are living there to
