bandits south Of Fort Hancock, Texas,
according TO the official report from
Brig Gen. George bell, Jr.. at FL Paso,
to Maj Gen. Funston.
After the bandits had been sur
rounded in ranch house on the Amer

an American customs guard had been
killed, another customs guard named
Bean ran down to the river bank and
called to a detachment of Carranzistas
on the Mexican side to come over and
assist the American troops. ' ..'
A captain and eight soldiers re-
sponded. They joined in the fighting.
which became general. Soon, the re-
port says, the bandits fled from the
ranch house and retreated over the
river, leaving behind four dead. ..

to fall, laid low by bandit wha had
slipped outside to aim at him. rj.,nu
His death was avenged a moment
later by one Of the hospital corps
men, who shot down the bandit just as
he was fleeing back into the house.
1t was at this point that Bean sum;
moned the Carranzistas. Brisk firing
followed for a time Then quiet
reigned in the ranch house. A eau
tious investigation disclosed three
more dead bandits inside its walls.
The remainder had succeeded. in get
ting out and making their way over

lowed in pursuit. Gen. Funston said
that no American troops would join
the chase. The number of bandits
who escaped is not known here. -.
