Indians and frontiersmen chase La Vaca horse raiders
Captain Kuykendall leads eleven men from Benson to pursue about fifteen Wacos and Tirvocanies who raided a traveler on the La Vaca river in 1829. After a daylong pursuit they recover most of the stolen horses, kill six Indians, and avert further loss, with no casualties on the settler side.
