Francisco Arresures
Francisco Arresures lived with his family in Eagle Pass, where he worked as an omnibus driver, and local residents reportedly spoke well of his character. In July 1886 he was held in the Eagle Pass jail, according to the Butte Semi-Weekly Miner, when Mexican troops crossed the Rio Grande and took him from his cell at night. The consul's report, which Governor John Ireland of Texas cited, says three of Mondragon's soldiers killed him despite protests and demands for his return. Texas officials called the killing murder and a serious outrage.
Cause of death, as reported: Killed by another person in custody. Governor John Ireland of Texas, citing a telegram from U.S. Consul E. D. Linn, says three of Mondragon's troops took him from the Eagle Pass jail at night and murdered him.
Reported by: Governor John Ireland of Texas; U.S. Consul E. D. Linn.
