About 4:50 In the morning, as near
ly as he could judge 1t, he made the
ranch house and found it deserted
and desolate. Manager J. T. McCabe
had fed, as had the Chinese cook.
Morey sprawled face downward in
a hole near the ranch house, in which
there was a little brackish water. He
rinsed his parched mouth and drank
sparingly.
Then, rejuvenated, he staggered in
to the adobe building and found, as If
by a miracle, a quantity of beefsteak.

bread. AS he ate he gained strength
in body and spirit.
His meal concluded, he began an
investigation of his surroundings. Near

fused fight, and gathering them to-

After considering the sun awhile,
Morey decided 1t would be better to
wait until the heat of the day had
passed. So the men washed up, and
after stuff1ng the last bit of the beef
into the first-aid kit, start was made
as evening approached. They headed
for San Luis ranch, 35 miles to the
east.
Mule Team a Godsend.
After ten miles, accomplished In
feverish relays, they encountered the
ranch manager, McCabe, with a mule
team. This was godsend, as Morey
termed 1t.
All piled in the wagon and rode to
San Luis ranch, where they arrived
at midnight Saturday, joining there
with Major Howze's squadron Of
Eleventh cavalrymen, which had been
sent out by General Pershing to find
them.
With the Howe squadron was a

MAYOR MOVED WHILE

ATLANTA, Ca, July 11.-Although
it rained in Decatur, five miles from
Atlanta, yesterday as it did in Atlanta
and other Georgia points, L. ]. Steele,
mayor of that town, also the county
administrator and a member of the
Legislature, had to move his Office
from the courthouse across the street.
Mayor Steele's move followed the
taking of a dispossessory warrant by
R. ]. Freeman, his political enemy and
custodian of the courthouse, some
time ago. The two men had a disa-
greement as a result of the recent
primary, and hard feelings have exist
ed since.
Freeman said Steele paid no rent to
tie county and wasn't entitled to an
Office in the courthouse

flanked by tents and the queer woven
brush quarters which the men and Of
fcers have built, there was no cheer
ing and music. But from each group
some officers walked out and, grasp
ing Morey's UNNAMED hand, ex-
claimed:
"Glad you're back, old man. Con-
gratulations
Simple words these, but they were
fervently spoken, for there is no man
in this command that believed he
would ever see Morey again.
Tells of Awful Thirst.
Morey is a studiOus-looking man,
whiskered, lean of face and specialized.
Telling his story he spoke haltingly,
without exaggeration, and with admir-
able restraint and modesty. He blamed
no one, drew no conclusions, offered
no hindsight suggestions as to what
should have been or should not have
been done.
His voice was almost emotiOnless,
rising in tone and pitch only when he
told of going without water from six
o'clock on the morning of the 21st,
until four O'Clock the following day,
wounded and with the blistering, scar
ing rays of a Mexican sun beating
down on him.
Morey suffered thirst that will leave
an impression for life. Even as he
spoke of it, his hand automatically
reached for a canteen and he drank
long and deep.
Died Like Soldiers.
How those two troops of the
Tenth cavalry left Santo Domingo
early that Wednesday morning and
rode toward Carrizal, how Captain
Boyd conferred with General Gomez
and how, fanking the Americans on
the right and left, the Carranzistas
opened fire, already has been told,
and Mercy confirmed the details that
have heretofore been related.
He added little to the fight except
to say that Boyd and Lieut.. Henry
Adair died like soldiers and gentle
men. He told also that the Carran-
zistas began hostilities by opening up
with machine guns, and that in the
firing the enemy seemed to be CEN
tering his fire on the white officers
of the command, of which there were
only three. When the battle was over
there was but one.
Couldn't Follow Charge.
Morey's command, consisting of only
SO men, was on the right flank when
"the ball opened as he put it, and
! he could follow the charge of Troop c
under Boyd and Adair only to fringe
of bush, into which men and horses
disappeared.
&c troop men tell me-" said Morey,
"that Adair died in the irrigation ditch,
his head held up by a noncommis-
stoned officer. There was water in the
ditch, and even while dying Adair
