Cibicu compaign. Lieut.. Benton's
company, which was now in the
lead, came suddenly on the bodies
sent out to work on the telegraph
wires. The Indians had killed
them but q few hours before. This
caused "a sudden halt, when the
Indians opened fire on the COM
mand, and the fight began at once.
The Indians had selected strong
position in the foothills near 1ay-
lor's CafIon. The cavalry was rap
idly depIoyed and opened muir
lderOus fire, which, in the course of
an hour, compelled the savages to
abandon their position and retreat
in the mountains behind their.
Here the fighting lasted until near
sunset, when, by another vigorous
charge, they were compelled to
seek refuge in some dark ard
woody ravines lining the mountain
sides. From this shelter they
made an effort to turn Overton's
flank to the left, falling in which,
they made a concentrated and des-
perate effort to turn Bernard on the
extreme right. The firing contin-
ued until about $3.50 p. NJ, when,
under cover of the night and the
wooded ravines, they stole away,
crossing the head of Aravapai
Oh non. With the cavalry packing
their wounded on their animals
they took up the trail and followed
it to the head of Aravapai cafion.
1t becoming apparent that the hos.
tiles were making towards Mexico,
and for the purpose of heading
them of and getting more ammut
milton, the column moved to For |
Grant.
