ference.
Unofficial hut definite statements
frbm apparently authentic sources
said there was little likelihood for a.
break in the International plan be-
cause of the Glenn Springs raid. or
ficials regarded this raid as an Incl

Generals Scott and Funston were

Mexican officials in III pasa point

100 miles across the border in pur-
suit OF bandits. This being urged
as one reason for the speedy signing
of the peace agreement. despite the
fact that that second detachment
may invade Mexico. though Carranza
may not assent To the plan. Scott
and Funston refused 10 make any
alterations i'm the plan. pointing ont
that Obrcgon was armed with dipio-
matte authority when he approved

to awaken the settlement. Sergeant
Smyth and Private CrOskem jumped
to the fly of the tent. Observing
numbers of MeXicans at hand they
ran to the adobe hut where the six
other cavalrymen were preparing to
make their defense. The door of the
house, which had only one window
was barred and Sergeant Smyth, see
ing that his men were Outnumbered
by ten to one, gave orders to shoot
carefully and not waste the ammu-
milton.
Smyth told his men that the time
had come to make dash. The heat
had burned the tops of their heads.
CoIock stepped forward to the door,
smashed the boards with his gun
stock and dashed out. His body was
found next morning not far away,
riidied with many bullets. He prob
ably ran into the main band of the
Mexicans.
Smyth, leading the other cavalry
men, turned to the left and maue
for the corral, the MeNicans firing
ut them as they fled. Rogers body
was found not far from the burned
house, but Tyree could not be ae-
