(BY JACK HARDIEG.)

Columb bus, n. NJ, June 25.-~They
shot he'll out OF us at Carrizal." said
Private Sam Harris Troop X. Tenth
Cavalry, who reached here today TO
be treated for an ugly mauser bullet
wound in his neck.
The soldier was in the thick Of the
fight His story is the frat story
brought 10 the border by an indi-
vidual. He told how 700 Mexican
Indians opened fire with hidden ma
chine guns on handful of American
troopers. moving them down with the
precision of scythe.
They shot hell out OF us, they cut
us to pieces" he kept repeating.
Harris told how Captain Boyd and
Captain Morey. with Lieutenant Adair
had ridden out with Troops c and K
AT daybreak on the hunt for maraud-
ers. He touched on the meeting be-
tween Captain BOYD and the Mexican
General Gomez, out on the fiat, open
field.
He remembered clearly watching
Gomez return to his command and
give the signal to fire. Then, as he
told OF the battle scene the trooper
placed his hands over his eyes as
though to shut ont repetition of
the haunting vision.
Gun Behind Perfect Cover.
Captain Boyd gave us tho order
to deploy in skirmish formation" he
said LAS the order TO dismount came
the Mexicans opened fire all along the
line. was unslinging my leg from
my horse when the rattle OF @ ma
chine gun started from behind per-
feet cover
The horses bolted. Most of them
hit back for the ranch twelve miles
away. We fopped to the ground as
fast az the Almighty would let us
and began pumping our rifles and
automatics.
There were trees over where the
Mexicans were fighting and a fence
along a slight rise of the edge OF q
road. There was ditch over there,
too The Mexicaus were all covered.
We were out on the bare fiat sprawled
on our stomachs under the hot sun
in plain view Of the enemy.
TT was murders
IT forgot everything but my gun
and my ammunition. | was trying
to sec how fast | could load. pick my
target. fire and eject. 1t was like
running small machinery on piece
work.
Within half an hour of the begin
ming OF the fight tho Mexicans started
thanking us. We could see the dust
they kicked up rs they started crawl
ing and running with. their bellies.
low. we'll off to the right and left in
groups.
Graphic Story OF Fight.
There were fully 700 of them and
they swarmed all over the place. The
bulk of the force kept behind some
sort OF shelter. We had no shelter.
There was real satisfaction In
knowing we killed our share OF the
Mexicans. 1t was tough work.
When the fight began. l remember
waiting for a head TO appear so that
I could shoot at II. ] was shaking
like a. leaf with the excitement of my
first engagement, but tried to keep
cool.
You wait I kept telling myself
You wait till you see something to
shoot at and did. Pretty soon. per
haps about half a minute---it seemed
like an hour. saw a Mexican head
poke out from behind a fence post
over by the road. ! got a bead on II,
then let 80 with my rifie. Zowie!

700 Mexicans Opened Fire
On Handful of American
Cavalry, Survivor Tells

Now that Mexican Jumped into the
air and Topped. / think | killed him
all right. He did not move again. 1
sure felt good with that first shot
Bully / shouted. | got, most ten
alone picked them carefully be-
fore l fred and / saw them drop when
| let fly. My guess Is that good
one hundred Mexicans were left there
in the mesquit and along the fence
and ditch.
But that machine gun got us.
'sput. sput. sputter." 1t kept rafting
all the time and every rattle pioughed
into US.
The alkali dust was kicked UP all
around me with that machine gun
splitting steadily. The fellow running
1t was a good one. He was taking
his Job as serious businesses which
demanded strict attention to duty
the methodical killing of az many of
us IN as short a time as possible 1t
was hell.

Tho Mexican situation has been the
principal topic OF discussion In imam
ctal quarters this week. The growing
certainty that cleaning up In that
unhappy republic must come has been
the cause Of considerable irregulerity
In the markets. Professional traders
have sold = great many stocks, and
have depressed prices In a. number OF
issues Strangely enough. those secu-
rites which would be directly affect
ed by war with Mexico have suffered
far less than the stocks OF many COM
panies not even remotely connected
with Mexican affairs. Pool operations
have received q severe check when
banking institutions declined to accept
as collateral some OF those securities
of doubtful value, which have been
manipulated up to high prices. The
collapse Of the proposed motor merg-
er was SUFFICIENT to call attention to
some other movements which were
not justified. Much liquidation has
taken place in such issues and at the
end of the week stocks are in stronger
hands, and the technical position is
much improved.
Railway earnings are slightly under
those OF last month. but still far in
excess Of those reported for the same
periods last year. Reports from the
steel and iron centers indicate slack
ening up in the volume Of new orders
but this 10 rather a welcome condition

An unexpected development was the
decline in Copper metal. which came
unexpectedly, and the failure to land

fidently expected would be placed here

unable to agree on the price, and the
business was withheld. Producers are
confident. however, az the European
allies must have the metal, and

Lightning Rods.

There were NO lightning rods In an
Client times. The first one that the
world ever saw was set up by our
own illustrious countryman Benjamin
Franklin shortly after the year 1852
He had Just had his celebrated expert
ment with the kite, In which he DEM
onstrated tho identity Of lightning
with electricity. and was therefore
prepared for the construction Of the
rods for which the world had waited
so long. 1t is not generally known
that Franklin was a. distinguished In
science as he was in statesmanship
and dplomacy.-Exchange
