As tho Americans rode unsuspect

the entrenchment (lenernl (Imncz lay
concealed some hundred yards away
in tlio mesqiiitp. The horses of the
American vanguard plunged into the
pitfall, unseating their riders mid in
juring a number of them. Then, the
Mexican assorted, the Carranzistiis
lying in ambush raked the American
ranks with a machine gnu. The heavy
fire forced the Amerienns to with
draw to roorgauire their line ami tho
Mexicans eiiptured sovoiiteen sol

pit.
