their sick and wounded, and took the

small skirmishes occurred, but after repass-

In the vicinity of Fort Fillmore, Sib-
ley was intercepted by troops from Cali
fornia. General Candy, with the New
Mexican troops, was in pursuit and close
at hand. He was thus caught between
two fires, and retreat being impossible, a
battle occurred, which resulted in Sibley s
utter and complete defeat.
