Arrow head tale linked to Navajo raid near Rancho La Joya
Tuesday last Dr. asterday recovered an arrow head from the back of Albino Contreras of Rancho La Joya after an encounter with a Navajo group thirty years ago. Contreras, born 1843, was once captive to Navajos for nearly two years and learned their language. His release came after his father paid ransom in money and stock. Upon return, relations with the tribe were peaceful until a spring raid in 1860. While riding sixteen miles east of Rancho La Joya, Contreras was pursued by familiar Navajo men who demanded he join their raid, and his horse was shot from under him.
