Captain A. p. Anderson was wounded
when thirty Mexicans fired on ten
American soldiers who were sleeping
In an arroyo near PUgreso, shortly
before daybreak today. The soldiers
|taxen by surprise, deserted their
guns and fed The weapons were
taken by the Mexicans, who disap-
lpeared in the brush before rein
Iforcements could arrive.
The Mexicans crossed the Rio
iGrande above Progreso under cover
OF darkness and eluded soldiers who
were guarding the banks. The main
detachment, stationed four miles from
where the attack took place, hurried
to the scene and found the camp en-
tireiy stripped OF equipment. Troop

Bailey told of the negro accompanying him, of tho assault and of being robbed of . valuable gold watch. He was un- able to identify the negro, but his de- scription tailed with that of Black
