ing to a message Saturday night from

ableto make his escape still is un-
known ' '''' '
''" Captain Boyd's .men of troop C took
the. ditch In which the front line of
Mexican troops was entrenched and
charged through the town of Cardial.
Troop K under Captain Lewis Morey
charged wfth troop C but was' out-
flanked and forced to take refuge In
an adobe house. They at least had a
chance to defend themselves from
cover ? bnt their ultimate fate Is un-
known Is that of the remnant of
Captain Boyd's troop. ;
This new' came to General Pershing
by courier from Major John M. Jenkins
commanding a squadron of the relief ex-
pedition sent ' out from Colonia Dublan.

Tenth cavalry at 8an Luis ranch. Thoy
also were horse holders a were the oth-
