the Villista army retreated to the
eastward from Aqua Prieta, leaving

on the Carranza lines, which kept the
defenses blazing virtually all night.
Gen. Gales reported the Villa forces
in retreat, but at 1880 his big Schnei-
der-Ganet guns reopened lombard
ment. This soon died down, however.
Losses of the Carranza garrison
were reported by Gen. Gales as forty
five killed and seventy-five wounded,
although unofficial reports stated his
casualties were $50. villa dead and
wounded in large numbers strewed the
desert around the barbed-wire barri-
cades of the Mexican town.
Eight persons on the American side
of the boundary, including four SOL
diers of the Seventh Infantry, were
wounded during the fighting.
Harry Jones, private in Company
c, Eleventh infantry, died of the
wounds inflicted by bullet from the
Aqua Prieta battle line.

roar OF cheers from the victorious Car
rama garrison.

ing Nish more seriously than the Aus
