He was conscious when picked up, but later lapsed, into inconsistencies. It was then that he was taken to the hospital. The horse which he had been driving continued down the ave nue, after throwing his driver, and was captured near the Munger olive factory and brought to the Kearley livery.

After the battle the rebels fled in the direction of Fuerte just across the line in the state of SinalOa and were followed closely by a large number of federals and citi- Zens mounted on the horses taken from the rebels in the fight. In the meantime a special train was rushed from Navojoa to the burned bridges near Alamos and the remaining fed eral forces were entrained for Fuerte and arrived there several hours ahead of the rebels and were waiting for them when they arrived. After light skirmish the rebels were forced back into the mountains and left in the direction of Chinipas in western Chihuahua
 The bodies of the 2O1 dead rebels and those of about 15O horses killed in the fight were piled up in large piles and burned. Many of the bodies were only partly burned and large numbers of coyotes and bug is still almost impossible to get near the battlefield on account of the aw- full stench of blood and partly burn ed bodies
 It was learned from rebel prisoners that great many promises were made them in order to induce them to come to Sonora. They were told that the minute they crossed the line into Sonora all the people would join them and they would then take the port of Guaymas and loot all the stores and banks and all they would have to do would be to help count the money
 The repor that rebels have cap tured two Mexican gunboats in the port of Mazatlan, is without founda- tion. The boats are guarding the town to prevent an uprising of any kind. The whole country is alive with federals and volunteers stationed at short intervals from Mazatlan to No- gales In the Mayo valley 1000 Mayo Indians have volunteered their ser vices and 509 of them are stationed at NavojDa and the ottHr 800 have been armed and sent north to help disperse the small bands of rebels trat ha"c zen burning bridges near Hermosillo.
