MEXICAN LINES BROKEN
American Soldiers Break Through
Mexican Lines in Charge OF Gen.
Felix Gomez at carrizal.

San Antonio, Textile force of the
Tenth United States cavalry under
Capt Charles T. Boyd succeeded In
breaking through the lines of the Mex
lean forces under Gen. FELIX Gomez at
Carriza., according to a message from
Gen. Pershing to Gen. Funston, but
whether any of them were able to
make their escape still is unknown.
Capt. Boyd's men of Troop c took
the ditch in which the front line of
Mexican troops were entrenched and
charged through into the town of Car
rial. Troop L, under Capt. Lewis
Morey, charged with Troop c, but
were outfanked and forced to take
refuge in an adobe house. They at
least had chance to defend them
selves from cover, but their ultimate
fate is unknown, as is that of the regi-
ment of Capt. Boyd's troop.
This news came to Gen. Pershing by
courier from Maj. John M. jenkins,
commanding a squadron of the relief
expedition sent out from Colonia Dub
Ian. Maj Jenkins also announced that
he had found FIVE members Of Capt.
Boyd's command at San Luis ranch.
They also were horse soldiers, as were
the other stragglers who have re-
ported. They did not see the finish of
the fight, but their stories, according
to Maj. Jenkins courier, confirmed the
stories of the other stragglers that the
attack had been opened by the Next
can troops without provocation.

Washington.-Unless Gen. Carranza
surrenders the 20 American troopers
held at Chihuahua City, President
Wilson probably will go before con.
gress to ask for authority to rescue
them by force, Pending their release
the United States government will not
consider any offer of mediation or ar
bitration.
The state department has no intima.
ton as to when reply to the note
sent Sunday demanding immediate re.
lease of the soldiers might be ex-
pected.
Prompt compliance by congress with
any request the president may make
as to Mexico was foreshadowed by
the calm which prevailed in both
houses. Although measures designed
to prepare for war were under con.
sideration and the corridors OF the
capitol hummed with rumors, there
was no excitement and discussion of
the subject on the floor was avoided.
The legislative branch of the govern
ment was plainly waiting to do its
part when what the majority regarded
as inevitable should come.

sage from Mexico City states that the

news from Columbus Of semi-official
nature that Gen. Pershing has dis

The exact purpose of this move Is
not disclosed, but the situation is be-

meeting between the advance col

it is not believed that the American
troops will use verbal arguments with
any body that tries to block their

MExICANS RAID BORDER
Ranchman and Wife Are Murdered in
INTELLECTUALLY In Pursuit and
Follow Into Mexico.

Hachita, N. M.-American cavalry
and citizen posses are riding hard
across the desert prairie south of here
in pursuit of the Mexican raiders who
murdered William Parker and his wife
and drove away their cattle. Orders
have been issued to capture or kill
the Mexicans. The pursuing forces
are now near the international boun-
dairy and have orders to cross II nee
essary.
Detachments of cavalry from Hach-
ita, Alama Hueco and Culberson's
ranch are leading the chase. They are
followed by dozen automobiles load
ed with civilians from the little tank
station of Hachita.
The first report of the raid and the
murderous attack on Parker and his
wife was received at Columbus. A
GREATNESS, hatless rider dashed into
the military camp there He was an
employe Of the Parker ranch.
Disconnectedly he told of shots in
the night which awakened him. Mount
ed and armed Mexicans were shooting
into the windows and through the
doors of the place. Parker was killed
in his own bedroom and then Mrs
Parker was shot and instantly killed.
The firing continued for some time.
The few employees of the ranch en-
deavored to get their arms and de-
fend the house, but the Mexicans, af-
ter looting the place and herding the
horses and cattle in the corral to-
gether galloped away shouting viva
Mexico, viva La Patria."

for highway purposes in the various
counties of the state. The amount
stated will be increased to something
like $4,000 by July l, the end of the
fiscal year. This money is derived
from the automobile tax. which the
law directs shall be spent on designat.
ed state highways.
o. NJ. West, chief clerk and stats,
tician, has submitted some interest.
ing facts and figures in connection with
this fund. According to his statement
the fund Is not turned over to the
counties all at once, but is spent by
the county road officials under the
direction of the state department and
Is not available until a contract has
been entered between the county and
the state officials. Application for use
of the fund must be made by the cour-
