M.).?TrapJ'ped and fighting against heavy odas, the troops of the Tenth cavalry, en-, i s/ gaged at Carrizal 011 Wednesday,' charged twice directly into tile jaws of the ambush which the Mexicans' had laid for them. With bullets in 1 his arm and shoulder, Capt. Charles T. Boyd, the commander, remained in ' I the saddle, leading his negro troop- ! ers until they had capturea uie concealed Mexican gun trench, when he! y fell mortally wounded. This was the gist of the first de-; tailed account of the engagement lrom American sources which was1 was brought to Gen. Pershing today * hy Corporal Green of C troop, who ! was at Capt. Boyd's side when he fellj 1 The Americans were HanKed on both sides by the Carranzistas, who | had partly surrounded the little com- j mand during a conference between * Gen. Felix Gomez, 4ae Mexican leader, and Capt. Boyd. In front was a i concealed gun trench from which a '? ~v iir>ovr>or>torll\.T WAS JS IJ CCtill Ui.

Corporal Green said that Capt. 1 Boyd although wounded by the first fire immediately gave the order to charge, and the detachment rode at top speed in a hail of bullets directly at the trench, capturing it just as the American leader fell. The Mexicans retreated to cover in a nearbv adobe shack. , Lieut. Henry Adair assumed comi mand and ordered a second charge, k which drove through the shack, scat Itering tne LvieAicau wmmauu. Green said he did not see Lieut. Adair after this charge and believed that he lost his life in it. Meanwhile Capt. Lewis Morey, commanding K troop, which was also v partly surrounded during the parley, ^ occupied another adobe house with his men from which he engaged a second detachment of the Mexicans. While it is assumed here that Capt. iV'orey was wounded in the fight, neith Via er Corporal Green nor an> ui other survivors reaching here knew anything of the outcome of that part of the fight. It is believed, however, that he may i have collected the shattered remnants of the American command and i is bringing them slowly, and through j obstacles, to Gen. Pershing's lines. The survivors arriving here said that the Carranzistas circled far around Carrizal after they engaged, and oVertook and captured a number of j soldiers who had been holding horses j tack beyond sight of the point where j the fight began. Piecing together the fragmentary! reports which have reached field j teadquarters, all except 21 of the 84 men engaged in the fight have -been j i accounted for. These reports indi- j cate that 13 were killed and 17 taken prisoner. Thirty-three have come into camp here in the last two days, J most of them coming afoot over a desert, suffering the greatest hardships from lack of water. 'News dispatches from Chihuahua City yesterday indicated that with the capture of five additional prisoners the captives in the hands of the Carranzistas now number 22, leaving 16 of the men engaged at Carrizal un- j accounted for. j THIRTY THOUSAND GUARDSMEN READY Wood Reports Something Like Two Divisions of Militiamen Prepared to Move.
