December 1851 CE

Heintzelman continues northeast, further into the mountains, where they find a ranchería containing items from Warner's Ranch.

The ranchería and nearby village are abandoned but Heintzelman has them burned before continuing back to Agua Caliente.

After losing their villages, the Cahuillas choose to surrender to the Americans.

Jonathan Warner is used as an interpreter in a court case to decide the fate of four Cahuilla chiefs who are found guilty of raiding Warner's Ranch, killing civilians there, burning the place and robbing it.

Subsequently, the four, named Juan Baustista, Francisco Mecate, Quisil and Luis, are executed by firing squad and buried on December 25, 1851.

Garra is captured at Razon's ranchería in the Coachella Valley, by the Mountain Cahuilla leader Juan Antonio and turned over to the volunteer company from Los Angeles.

He will later be tried and executed in San Diego on January 10, 1852.
