 A train of thirty-eight cars carry ing foodstuffs. military supplies, a large number of Mexican refugees and about three hundred soldiers left Juarez tonight for the interior. Resi- dents of the town said that they had been told that the last train over the
 Mexican Central would depart for the south Monday morning and that the
 road then would be closed to the traffic. Mexican military authorities
 denied these reports however.
 Private advices received from Chi ] huahua City tonight said that the five American employees of the Alvarado i Mining and Milling company, at Par ] ral, who. recently were reported to have been in hiding in the hills near that city had reached the state cap i ital safely The dispatches said that
 five had been granted safe conduct i to the border and would reach here 1 tomorrow.

They took the ditch with one final wild rush putting the Mexicans to flight and capturing sev eral machine guns.
 Captain Boyd was wounded twice, once in the arm and once in the shoulder.
 In the final rush on the entrenched Mexicans, Captain Boyd fell dead, shot through the body. Without checking their advance, Troop c, led by Lieu tenant Harry Adair. dashed on after the fleeing Mexicans into the town. That was the last seen of them, by lthe men found at San Luis ranch.
