Yesterday, was quiet early today Gen

1t is estimated by Colonel Wilour
Wilder and Lieutenant Colonel Tate
OF the Fifth cavalry that 100 Mexican
federals were slain and. about 200
wounded in yesterdays engagement,
while the Maderistas probably lost a
still greater number The Maderistas
however, refuse to give any indication
lof their casualties. One Fifth cavalry
trooper, Private Allen Umfleet, was
seriously wounded in the face by a bull
ilet which flew across the border, and
three other Americans were slightly
wounded during the engagement.
The Mexican battle which continued
for twelve hours was finally brought
to a sudden end when Lieutenant Col
