CAVALRY MOUNTS
NEEDED ON BORDER

By United Press.
San Antonio, Texas, March 29.-
The European war has stripped the
United States of good horses, and to
day United States army officers have
admitted n serious shortage o. caval-
ry mounts.
General Funston has combed Texas
without result for available animals
capable Of standing up under hard
campaigning. The buyers of France,
Italy and Great Britain have swept
Texas bare Of cavalry animals.
st. Louis, Atlanta, Kansas City, Chr
cago and smaller horse markets now
are being investigated by army Off
GERS in the hope of obtaining a suffi
oient supply in hurry. Here also
however the army men found tina.
the buyer for the warning nations of
Europe had preceded them.
American cavalry regiments are re-
ported to be short now of remounts
needed in real campaign work and
should many be lost in fighting the
problem would become grave. State
cavalry regiments too are reported
as generally deficient b cavalry an
imals.
This is considered important for, in
case the Mexican campaign develops
and the need arises to send all the
regular cavalry into the southern re-
public, national guard cavalry regi
ments probably will be the first to be
called for border patrol work.

night about 10 o'clock the sheriff was
called by phone TO the residence Of 4
Mr.. Anderson, on North 1lth street
and told that during the absence Of the
family who had come down town
earlier in the evening, someone had
entered the house and ransacked ev-
eTyrhing in sight.
Sheriff Bailey, accompanied by
Deputy Rucker, repaired to the An.
derson home and found things badly
torn up. Drawers had been opened
and trunks broken into and clothing
and other things scattered about the
floor in mass of confusion. A care
full search on the part of the members
of the family failed to show that any
thing had been taken
The supposition of the officers is
that the burglars became alarmed
and left before finding anything to
suit their tastes. Sheriff Bailey re.

GOT THE WRONG IMPRESSION

A couple OF jurors and a number OF
attorneys managed, in some mysteri-
cns manner to assimilate the pre-
sumption that Judge Linn would hold
a night session of the district court
last night. Hence 1t was that they
sat around the classic Grady county
district 60 Tt room, whence all but
they had fled, last night until. as the
clocks chimed the hour of nine. Attor-

U.S.TROOPSF| ON BY MEXICANS
While Passing Through parral Either Carranza Garrison or Civ ilian Population Starts Trouble
 Preparing for Break.

San Antonio, April l3.-General Funston this morning received ad- vices of an encounter between American soldiers and either the Mexican military forces of the civ ilan population at parra.
 The details of this engagement, however, had not been received at the army headquarters late this afternoon.
 American Consul Letcher at Chi huahua City sent the report to Gen. eral Funston, quoting the com mander of the Garrison of Carranza troops at Parral as saying that the American troops appeared there unheralded, causing considerable alarm among the Mexieans, many of whom fired and the Americans ex- changed shots with them.
 Consul Letcher reported that the Parral commander belittled the event.
 These army men assume that the Carrranclstas are quietly being placed in a position to be the most effective in case of a break with the Americans.

REPORT OF FIGHT
 AT PARRAL MADE
General Pershing Sends Two Con- munications, Describing Encom- ter With Mexicans in Streets
 Last Wednesday.

San Antonio, Tex, April i5.-Gen- eral Pershing's report of the fight ing at Parral. received at General Funston's headquarters, were given out tonight.
 The report declares that 10 Mexi-
 ans and two Americans were Killed. The American forces consisted of part of Colonel Browns Tenth cav- airy, but it was not stated whether Colonel Tompkins was in command
 previously reported. It was also not stated whether the Americans used a machine gun.
 General Pershing's version of the encounter was that a small party of Americans, who entered parral un- armed, for supplies, were fired on by Mexicans, and fled, the Mexicans pursuing.
 Reaching the main body of Amer ican troops, the latter turned and routed the Carranzistas, after sharp firing, killing 10 of the Mexicans. It was not stated whether any member of the Carranza garrison at parral were among the attackers.
 General Pershing made two re- ports, one transmitted through Con- sul Letcher ct Chihuahua and the other via Columbus. General Fun ston was chagrinned at the meagre- ness of the advices, and immediate ly wired demanding further partic- ulars.
 General Funston has rushed rein forcements to Satevo, and it is inti- mated that strong detachments have already arrived in the vicinity of parral.
 It was given out tonight that no further troops will be taken from the border, and that recently rein forcements had been sent to the front.
 The wires have been cut again be- tween Namiquipa and Columbus. and it is suggested that possibly this was done by hostile Carran- zistas.
 Villa was lost in the shuttle to- night and perhaps has reached Durango, or the mountains of southern Chihuahua.

 Villista Is Killed.

General Pershings Camp in Mex- ico, by Telegraph to Juarez, Mex leo, April ii.--Forty mounted Mex jeans, believed to have been under the command of the Villa general Tarango, attacked an automobile supply train early Tuesday night but were driven of after a short fight.
 There were no American casual ties, and but one Nillista was killed. The battle lasted for twenty min- utes.
 The fight occurred about o'clock at night and was staged several miles in the rear of the automobiles accompanying General pershing and escort.
 When the bandits who were try ing to capture the supply trucks came dashing up, the Americans poured five volleys into their ranks which served to end the fight com pletely.
 The Americans allowed the Mex ican bandits to get within few feet of the trucks before opening fire on them, and the attack was so sudden that the Mexicans scattered and beat hasty retreat.
 Thirty men of the Tenth (negrol cavalry, which engaged the ban- dits at Aguas Calientes on the first day of this month, arrived here this morning for rest and re-outfitting- They are sure that they killed more Mexicans than the official report said they hal.

Lewis, com- missioner of correction, announced today.
 According to Lewis, persons out side the jail were also in collision with Lincoln. Lincoln's instruc- ,tions to his aids outside the prison directed them to appear at the jail as if with prisoner for delivery. When the door was opened the Idoorkeeper was to have been slugged. The rescuers were then to go into the jail and with the aid of Lincoln's friends on the inside get him out and take him away in an automobile.

 Lewis intercepted the instruc- tions. photographed them and sent them on. But word reached the outsiders and they did not make the attempt. Lincoln was arrested from a United States marshal a short time before.
