over the same trail there was Mr.. Mule
calmly nibbling grass at the bottom Of the
canyon.
I'VE surrounded the town. but the enc
my was not there. They had seen some
Of our allies. the Gonzales men. and with
in an hour of the time we had hidden the
enemy knew all about it and decamped.
Our allies were a darned nuisance in other
words.
when we joined them for the moon
light march we, who had only built the
smallest of fires in the depth of the can
yon. and that at broad daylight, to heat
coffee, and had taken the utmost care
that not a particle of smoke should arise,
found our allies shouting and feasting
around huge bonfires, the flames of which
extended far above the tree tops. Well,
the men who were to have been shot were
let go with only $4,000 paid as ransom.
Dead Are Near Railroad.
I'VE took up the trail Of the enemy
again, this time without any allies. Till
II o'clock at night we went on again, up
and down mountain sides; then we wait
ed for daylight in q fine bivouac under
tall pine trees, a dry camp for horses and
mules, but enough water on hand for
coffee. At daylight we took up the trail
again, and in md-afternoon arrived where
we could look into the valley. In the In
dian village we could see some of the
enemy making plans for departure.
IAN hour later we had arrived and made
straight at them, dash in good cavalry
fashion with half the command, followed
by the balance in support. The machine
guns covered the advance from the near
est nose of the bill fronting the town. 1t
didn't take long to drive the enemy. but
only the rear guard was there as the main
body had started on the mountain trail.
They came back and it took until dark to
drive them from the mountain walls sur
rounding the town, at height of 800 feet
In looking over their position the next
morning it seemed most remarkable that
as we'll as they could see US from the
height, we suffered so few casualties, only
two dead and three wounded. Shippers
were the worst and it was we'll after dark
before the last of that kind of chaps was
accounted for.
I'VE did not get Carrantes, the leader Of
the band, as he escaped, only to die later
at his home village in an attack on a
small number of American soldiers out
after beef and who had no supicion Of
band within % miles. Our dead boys were
taken with us and sent with detachment
into the town Of Miuaca, where they
were buried in the town cemetery with
military honors, close to the line Of 81
railroad where their bodies may be easily
reached after the Mexican trouble IS
over"

SCHOOL NOTICE.

Beginning with this week, the first
bell will ring at the Graded school
building at S:30>a m. The bell will
ring again at 8:45. and from this time
until o'clock, the doors of the school
building will be open for the admis-
sion of the pupils. With this margin
OF fifteen minutes, there is no reason
why any child should be compelled to
stand on-the cold ground outside
the school building each morning. We
hope the parents will cooperate with
Us by not allowing their children to
come to school too early for they will
not be tardy unless they reach the
school grounds after nine o'clock
Teachers will be in their rooms every
morning at 8:45 O'Clock ready to take
charge of the pupils as they go to their
rooms, and, should add, that every
pupil will be expected to go directly
to his room.
4 We make this new rule with the
hope that it will be of convenience to
parents and be a greater safeguard to
the health of the pupils.
