Federals Fight as Wild Men.

With the advantage of unexpected ag-

pieces, the little brown, barefooted SOL
diers defending the military honor of the
new Huerta regime fought as wild men
against seemingly overwhelming odds
Protected by the artillery fire. the fed
erals scrambled ever the hillockS and
fearlessly began firing their rifles at the
enemy appearing in the distance.
1t was the group under Elias Gales
which first received the assault. Expect
ing to attack rather than be attacked.
the state troops soon fell back. The
other half of the constituencies forces
under Prefecto Bracamonte rushed to the
rescue from the east, and with a roar
of artillery and the continued rattle OF
Mausers the battle was won. For an hour
desperate lighting continued.
Little by little the state troops fell back
from the biting fire of the aggressors. For
a full mile the Huerta soldiers pursued
closely the retreating enemy, advancing
the artillery from the rear of the skir-
mish lines. Bodies of killed and wound
ed state troops lie tonight deserted on
the field.

Notifications and set out after the enemy.
Five troops OF the 9th and 9th u. s.
Cavalry were on duty along the border

person wounded during the fight on the
