His two companions were Jess Adams

rine said. and the fight lasted from IL

rode across the border and disappeared
abandoning the As horses which they had
stolen.
Crossed Line Friday Night
The bandits crossed the border into the
United States from the state of Chihua-
hua at o'clock Friday night. They are
believed to be the same gang which raid
ed the Parker ranch at Hachita, y. NJ.
and killed Mr.. and Mrs. Parker. They
rode to Perrine's ranch, 80 miles north
west Of Ell Paso. and drove off the horses
of Pelrine and Jess Adams. They were
headed for the border when the chase

The fight had lasted for 80 minutes
when Perrine saw his ammunition was
getting low and he dispatched Jim
Johnson, his Negro camp cook, to the
nearest telephone to have some more
sent out to him.
Before the ammunition could be
loaded and dispatched with five dep
uty sheriffs, Perfume himself called on
the long distance phone and told the
story of the battle, countermanding the
order for ammunition as all the re-
manning bandits were fleeing for Mex
leo.
Leader Killed
We had the prettiest fight you ever
saw" said Perrine. We had followed
them since daylight and were hot on
the trail when we cut around the
bandits and came out of draw in the
mountain, and started firing at them.
They returned the fire and my horse
went down with a bullet hole through
his neck. fought from behind his body
and got the leader and the two others
who were riding beside him. We then
scattered and kept up firing until our
ammunition was almost exhausted. The
men who had been in the lead con.
tinued running and did not return to
aid their comrades. They escaped
across the line as we were too busy
with the others to follow. We dug a
shallow grave and buried a.

Perrine said he would go into Mex

known as one Of the best shots and
most fearless men on the border, hav-
ing participated in a number of Mex
