OUR CAVALRY THERE
WITH PISTOL, SAYS
LETTER SENT HERE

Inside information on the wonder
full work of the Eleventh cavalry in the
fight at Ojus Azoles was recently re-
ceived by a resident of Rock Island
from an eye witness to the engage
ment.
Particular interest centers in that
the letter shows American troops dem
onstrated an expert use of the auto
matte pistol. The letter gives a thrill
ing story of the entire fight, perhaps
more so than any newspaper accounts
heretofore published of the engage
ment. Coming from an eyewitness, the
tale can be vouched for as it has not
been censored.
Following is the letter:
Although official details are still
lacking, the march of the squadron of
the Eleventh cavalry under Major
Robert L. Howe of that regiment to
this Mexican town and the subsequent
routing of the hostile troops, cannot
but be accounted one of the most bril-
liant accomplishments of the Mexican
occupation to date.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-06-27

THE cavalry left camp at S:45
o'clock p. m. and was delayed two
hours at c. After covering sc road
miles, it hit the enemy just at day
light, but not until, at one and a half
miles from the town, the head of our
column was discovered and began to
receive some hostile fire, although at
first the Mexicans believed the Amer
lean command were Carranzistas.
For full five minutes our cavalry
did not return the fire, but employed
the time in closing in and maneuver-
ing for such position as would make
victory worth while. When the enemy
realized that the advancing force was
American, they became so demoraliZed
that they were unable to deliver any
aimed or controlled fire, and our cav
airy pushed rapidly in, rode them down
and killed many who attempted to get
into the wooded hills.
The pursuit was continued for four
good miles, until there was nothing
left to chase, and the result was 81
Mexicans killed, 70 captured (includ-
ing wounded), with rs Mauser rifles
and so horses and mules captured.
This accounted for the greater part
of the band.
The fight was marked by the ex
pert use of the automatic pistol by our

COUNTY'S HIGHWAYS |
HELD DETERRENT TO
COMMUNITY GROWTH
BY EDWIN W. WOODCOCK.

With the passing of centennial week,
when the history OF Rock Island coun-
ty was graphically reviewed from
many angles, it seems most fitting to
now refresh the memories of the old
and to direct the attention of the
younger generation to the sad un-
changing CONDITION of our county high
ways.
While the tTi-cities were thrOnged
with visitors It would not have been
patriotic to disclose to public view this
glazing sin OF county indifference or
inefficiency, but now that the strang-
ers have departed filled with wonder
over the industrial progress which has
transformed the savage wilderness
home of Black Hawk into great com
mercial center of civilization, it is well
that the self complacent citizens Of
Rock Island county should once more
descend from the clouds of worthy and
Wanted achievement and seriously re
feet upon the disgraceful condition of
their county roads
Every backward nation, state, coun-
ty. or community in the world of hui
mainly today is characterized by it's
lack of proper transportation facili-
ties, and if Rock Island county should
be judged by this standard it would
cause its citizens to bow their heads
in humility and blush with shame.
Fortunately the many visiting
strangers who came to the threshold
of Rock Island county during the past
week, were prevented from going fur
Their INFO the interior by providential
rains. They were highly entertained
and amused by the magnificent spec
tacular pageants and the bright lights
of the -tri-cities and they were, no
doubt, seriously impressed with the

and the drum and fife corps of John
Hauberg's boy scouts will furnish the
martial music for the occasion. 1t
may be that Company A will march
through the streets and in this man
nerrarouse interest in the reorganiza-
tio7l ,of the company.
Ten recruits have signed up since
week ago The company now numbers
20 officers and men, according to
state ment made last night by Lieu

recruits went through their regular
weekly drill last night, part of which
was l. nder the direction of Major Ed.

from its use. BY very strenuous eff
fort, the American machine guns
were gotten into action during the last
part of the chase.
The American losses we're inap-

hostile bullets, and four horses we're
either killed or mortally wounded.
Although the horses OF the little
American command were not in the
