Stories of Fight Conflicting.

At the war department this afternoon
t. was stated that it would take cou-
riers or survivors of the American de-
tachment attacked at Carizal hours to
reach Gen. Pershing's present camp,
and that until some of these are heard
from, accurate news of the clash will
probably not be available. Stories OF
the clash reaching military authorities
today are conflicting in nature, but ali

Arredondo Tells Lansing Of Clash.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June g.
An official communication from the
Mexican foreign Office, announcing the
clash between Mexican and American
troops at Carrizal, says the de facto
government found it difficult to under
stand why American troops were 50
far from their base, this being the ex-
cuse offered for the attack. The doc.
ument was delivered to Secretary of
State Lansing by Ambassador desig-
rate Arredondo.
After delivering the communication
at the state department this afternoon.
Senor Arredondo told newspaper re-
porters he had asked Secretary Lans-
ing for an explanation of the purpose
cf the American troops in approaching
Carrizal and the reported action Of
Gen. Pershing in occupying Casas
Grandes and Neuvo Casas Grandes.
Secretary Lansing told the Mexicans
representative that he had no official
information concerning the Carrizal af-
fair, nor did he know whether or not
the Mexican towns indicated had been
occupied by American troops.
Senior Arredondo, defending the ac-
tion of the Carranza troops in opening
! FIRE on the American column, said he
had called the attention of Secretary
Lansing to what he considered "lack of
prudence on the part of the American
commander in approaching the Mext-

AUTO ACCIDENT
ON ROAD To
MYRTLESPR|NGS

In an automobile accident Thursday
night on the Myrtle Springs road, T.
W. Stewart, rural mail carried whose
route is out of Americas, and his
mother both narrowly escaped serious
injury. The accident occurred just be-
low the Miller home, quarter of a
mile beyond the dangerous bend at
Gunerry's bridge, and was caused by
some arrangement of the steering gear.
Mr.. Stewart was proceeding at a mod
crate speed when suddenly the machine
got beyond his control and plunged
into a sand bank at the side of the
read.
The machine was turned completely
over, the driver being pinned beneath
the tonneau, but fortunately was not
seriously hurt. Mrs. Stewart was
thrown clear of the wrecked car and
other than being badly bruised, es-
capped uninjured. The machine was
badly damaged, and must be extensive
ly repaired before it can be used
again.
Mr.. Stewart is a graduate of Amer
icus High school in the Glass of '16,
being a popular member of the class,
and holding the office of class presi-
dent. Following his graduation Mr..
Stewart entered the government SER
vice as rural mail carrier, which po-
sition he now holds.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 22.--
The Wilson administration sees no rea-
son, it was announced this afternoon
in Mexican accounts of the Carrizal
clash to change it's policy regarding
Carranza and the de facto government.
No decision is to be made touching the
incident until General Pershing re-
pcrts full details of the encounter.
1t was said unofficially at o'clocl,
that President Wilson views the fight
at Carrizal merely as an incident for
which subordinate commanders are
wholly responsible, and not likely -
precipitate fighting between the Unit
ed States and Mexico. The Mexican
foreign office communication handed to
Secretary Lansing this morning sought
only an explanation of the presence o.
American troops so far from their base
and the tone of the communication is
scch as to indicate Carranza' will dis
claim responsibility for the attack on
Gen. Pershing's column. The note
makes it specifically plain that the Car
rama government is not trying to ex-
Eel Americans troops from that coun-
try by force.
