Marathon, Tex, May 23.-The fly
ing columns of the Eighth and Four
tenth cavalry, detailed by Maj.
Gen. Frederick Funston to give
chase to the bandit raiders of Glenn
Springs and .Boquillas, have return
ed to American soil near Boquillas.
Colonel Sibley, commander of the
expedition, forded the Rio Grande
with. the two troops of the Four
teenth detailed to the pursuit from
Fort Clark late yesterday afternoon.
Major Langhorne, at the head of
Troops a and B of the Eighth, head
quarters Fort Bliss, followed shortly
after.
The expedition was in Mexico just
ten days, It failed to capture OF
wipe out the main body of the Big
Bend marauders, but it made pris-
oners of four of the bandits and left
behind two others desperately
wounded.
In addition it rescued Jesse Deem
er. Boquillas storekeeper, and Mon
roe Payne, Negro, kidnapped by
the Mexicans as they took their last
desperate ding before fleeing south
beyond the International boundary.
The return of the expedition was
imperative for strategical reasons.
1t had penetrated SO far into the in
terror, without the semblance of a
line of communication that it was
not prepared for possible eventuali-
ties. With no hope of reinforce
ments which had been declared UNI
available, it was impossible for 1t to
continue its foray. Then, too, the
main object of its campaign had
been accomplished in the release OF
Deemer and Payne.
