Of the town, each man dropping on his
knee and covering an enemy with a
cool, unhurried precision quite differ
ent from the blind, quick shooting OF
the already weakening Mexicans.
Gradually the invaders were swept
across the plaza and out to the rising

handful of disciplined American regu.
lars.

Foley were right in front o. my store

"'Can you git that feller, sergeant? !?

I've never missed, SIR says the
sergeant, an he gifts of his horse

heart out o. them"
