A los que entraban a un bodeg\u00f3n les robaba los coches y los dejaba lejos del centro, o les cambiaba los caballos de lugar. Con los le\u00f1ateros que bajaban del portezuelo con sus burros, la t\u00e1ctica era distinta: les mandaba enjambres de t\u00e1banos que desbandaban a los animales y dejaban la le\u00f1a desparramada por las calles.<\/p>\n<p>La tradici\u00f3n cuenta adem\u00e1s que, a fines del siglo XIX, en la v\u00edspera de una fiesta patria, encendi\u00f3 uno de los ca\u00f1ones que la Guardia Nacional preparaba frente al Cabildo.
