PIucky American Officer
leads Force From Ambush

FIELD HEADlUAhTERSp COLONlA
DCBLAN, Chihuahua, July 2.-(Via
Motor Courier TO Columbus, n. NJ,
July 5.-Three hundred Carranza cav
alrymen attempted 10 ambush a scout
ing patrol OF twenty American cavalry
north Of Guerrero recently and only by
skillful maneuyering did the American
commander save his detachment. il
was learned here today. The incident
occurred shortly after General Trevino
notified General Pershing he would re-
gard any movement of American troops
other than northward as hostile.
The soldiers, a detachment of the
Seventh cavalry under Lieutenant IIor-
ace NJ. Hickman. were on a scouting pa
troll in search of bandits believed to have
had their rendezvous in a zinc mine
about thirty miles from the American
base. Not finding any bandits they
started back and had turned into the
main road. the entrance 10 a canyon,
when the Mexicans, half a mile to the
south, opened fire. Immediately the
troopers replied and the Mexicans dis
appeared over the top of a ridge.
Lieutenant Hickam did not follow
realizing that the terrain in that dIrec-
ton formed a natural trap and that the
territory TO the south was not under
