M. The numbe of Mexicans wounded was not stated in official advices.
 FUNSTON GETS REPORT
 General Pershing's report filed at San Geronimo, reached General Fun ston today. Villa was not with the defeated force and Colonel Dodd was believed to be forcing his cavalry to its utmost to run him down before he could reconcentrate his scattered men. It was reported to army head . quarters here that Villa was wounded; that one of his legs was broken and one of his hips was badly bruised Tie character of his reported injuries sug- gested that perhaps he had been in jured in falling from his horse rather than by a gunshot as had been offi- cially reported .u
 Colonel Dodd attacked the Mexicans at o'clock, according to General Per- shing's report, but whether in the foi e. noon or in the afternoon was rot stated. Here it was regarded as proh- able that it was in the morning, for

the action which followed was a crcs- country chase that could not we'll have
 been made after dark.
 It was known at General Funstcn's headquarters that Villa and force country. Reports that he had attacked the small garrison at Guerrero and had killed more than ITO of Carranza's soldiers had been confirmed and it also was reliably reported that he had occupied Minaca, a short distance sourn of Guerrero. General Cavazos, coui-
 mander of the Carranza forces operdl- ing that district. had reported a slSir- mish with Villas men at Guerrero. Just where Villa was during the fight, no one here knows, but he was reliably reported to have been near by and prevented from being in tire engagement only by his injuries. Staff officers here believe there IS no doubt
 that Colonel Dodd's army, strength ened by men sent forward by General
 Pershing, have begun a driving hun. for the wounded bandit. It will be no surprise now to General Funston ana his staff to receive a report at any 1 time telling of his capture. News oE
 another battle soon is not expected,
 however, as the blow administered by Colonel Dodd. it was believed here,
 would serve to deter Villas men from
 speedy recommendation.
 HEADQUARTERS DELIGHTED News of the punishment inflicted
 upon Villas men was received with manifestations of delight at General Funstons headquarters and an echo of the manner in which it was re- ceived at the war department came in
 the form of message of congratula- tion to General Funston from Secre- tary Baker.
 Army men here are disposed to di-
 vide the credit for the action between
 General Pershing and Colonel Dodd.
 General Pershing is in charge of all operations and doubtless directed the
 movements that eliminated in the sur
 prize attack, but Colonel Dodd's cav
 airy aroused the admiration of officers at headquarters by the splendid riding
 they did. His first exhibition of hard riding was his driving advance from the border southward of more than 100 miles in approximately AS hours. The ride that preceded the attack on
 the Mexicans was over trail 55 miles long and was made in 17 hours.
 The man hunt now has been nar-
 rowed down to the region immediately
 west of Chihuahua along the North
 western railroad in the region about
 the headwaters of the Santa Maria river, in the opinon of many army of-
 ficers here.

Brumbaugh did not refuse to honor
