Outnurnbered Four To One, Americans
 Fought Splendid1y

Punitive Expedition in Mexico, June 22-A scant 150 United States troopers in hollow square, lying out in the open under the blazing Mexican sun, their Springfields crashing out in one volley after another; some 600 Mexicans, cav airy and machine guns, swarming upon them only to be mown down by the deadly fire, and at close quarters by automatic pistolS-this is the pie ture brought back to Gen Pershing by seven men, all who have returned so far of Troops c and K, Tenth United
 States cavalry.
 These seven were detailed as horse holders when Capt. Charles T. Boyd
 Of Troop c, in command of the scout ing party, seeing Mexican soldiers
 stealing out to surround him on both
 Hanks, ordered his men to dismount and hold their rifles ready. Cut off from their comrades by the Mexican
 attack, several of them wounded, the
 seven decided that it was their duty
 to save the horses from capture and
 then get back to Gen Pershing so that endorsements if possible might
 save what was left of Troops and K. Troop c, under command of Capt Charles T. Boyd, and Troop K, com
 manded by Capt. Lewis s. Mercy,
 reached Santo Domingo ranch, to tho west of Carrizal, Tuesday night and camped there.
 Ask Permission to Pass. Early on Wednesday morning, the
 returning troopers say, the entire com nand rode forward and, halting g outside Carrizal, Capt. Boyd sent 9 message to the Carranzista command CT there Gen. Felix Gomez, who was l1illed3, asking permission to pass that place. The Carranzista commander replied that his orders were to permit
 no Americans to pass south of his l lines.
 Capt. Boyd, believing this reply was due to Q misunderstanding, sent word
 Q second time that he did not wish to pass through tho town ,but merely to
 ride past the Carranza post to the south of 1t. This time the Carranzista commander replied by asking the American commander to ride forward and confer with him at the outer edge Of the town.
 1 Capt Boyd, still unsuspecting, moved forward with his whole command to l tho appointed place. But while he
 was talking with the Mexican leader,
 Mexican troops began to file quietly out of the marrow streets of Carrizal l and to take up commanding positions ! OF both Hanks of the little group of | Americans.
