losses were three killed and twelve
wounded, but the list is undoubtedly
larger, as Campo in his flight was
compelled to leave the wounded where
they fell in the mountains and in the
deep defiles and arroyos among
them.
Heroic Woman.
Among the slain, was Campas 1S-
year-old brother. A woman who ac-
companied her husband on the march
fought bravely in the trenches, handl-
ing rifle like a veteran. Hnr hus-
band was killed just as the retreat was
about to begin. The woman secured
a horse and attempted to save the
body. The horse tired on the retreat
and began to drop behind. The feder-
ais were stes dily pressing the pursuit,
and soon got her range. She kept
bravely on, the target of a storm OF
bullets, until, unnerved by the panic
stricken flight of others, she dismolnt-
ed, tenderly deposited her burden by
the roadside, and fled after the others.
