A tale from California and Arizona shows bandit Chevez captured dead or alive claims. Captors decapitate him to collect a reward, travel to Sacramento, but authorities deny pay. Later affidavits in San Juan declare the head Chevez’s. Efforts to fund the payout stall as lawmakers deliberate. The head is kept sealed for future bills, a stark critique of bloodthirsty rewards.
