Captain Boyd then asked for a personal interview with General Go- mez This was granted. General Gomez reiterated the inform ation given by his subordinate and re- turned to his lines. A few minutes later, almost simultaneously, both commands formed in lines of skirmish. Then de- tachment of Carranza troops ran around our left flank, apparently to surround us We found ourselves in the center of a line of Mexican stretching in horse shoe-like curve about us. Then the fight began.
 MACHINE GUN OPENS q don't knew who began it, ~>lt from the center of the horseshoe a Mexican machine gun poured a hail of bullets at us while from the point of the curve on our left flank another was firing at us'
 Spillsbury's description of the battle was practically the same as that pre- viously given out by other sources. The scout said that after the second confer ence he had urged Captain Boyd not to advance in the face of the contrary orders of the Mexican leaders, but was told that the officer should follow in structions.
 ".Don't fire until you are fired upon, boys I heard Captain Boyd shout as he gave the order to advance over by earnest protest the scout added. Salisbury said he was surrounded by a band of Mexicans who forced him to surrender and threatened to shoot him immediately.
 "They said I had fired the shots that killed their leader and they called me the 'Tejano' and seemed to believe that was a Texas Mexican and consequent ly, in their opinion, a traitor to Mexico. Until, with the other prisoners, my arms were bound and I was put in stock car bound for Chihuahua City. I believed that I was to be executed. The soldiers also believed they were to be killed but assured them they were not and as we got farther into the interior our con- fidence began to come back. But again at Chihuahua City I was told that the xy- l. execution and not until had talked with General Trevino was I relieved of the impresson." Salisbury and the prisoners asserted that they had received nothing but the most courteous treatment at the hands of the Mexican soldiery, pointing out that every effort was made to control the inflamed civil population of several towns who offered them bodily harm.

 IN INDIVIDUAL CELLS They were confined in individual cells in the Chihuahua penitentiary, Salisbury said, but throughout the days they were allowed the liberty of small patio where they gathered and talked over their chances for freedom.
 At occlock in the afternoon Andres IdTCld, MeAlCdH COHSul at IdSO, lclc- graphed General Bel, who was waiting in Fl Paso, that the Mexican sofficials were ready to transfer their charges. General Bell and his aides proceeded to the international bridge at about the same time that the captives were marched out of the commandancia
 As the Americans and their guards, headed by General Gonzales, Consul Garcia, and Manuel Prieto, mayor of Inc cit bo Of the bridge, Genera, Bell and his staff advanced toward them from the Ameri- can side
 Good afternoon General" said Gen eral Gonzales
 Good afternoon gentlemen" the American commander replied.
 "Now. if you will be so good as to have the men whom I understand you have for me advance one at time we can check them off" said General Bell.
 When the last name had been checked, General Bel signed a receipt for the troopers and they were taken to the United States immigration building. where they were bathed in vinegar, given clean new suits of blue overalls, loaded in motor ambulances and taken through a line of cheering citizens, through the center of the city to Fort Bliss. The authorities, fearing to antag- onize Juarez and other Mexicans in the city, sought to put an end to the ap- plause.
 It was in the immigration station that the negro troopers told their stories of the Carrizal fight and their experiences at Villa Ahumada and Chihuahua City.

 Those who could speak a little English bragged about shooting our boys while we were going Through Villa Ahumada," Jones said. Several boys lying just beyond me at Carrizal were not fatally wounded, but when I went past them after losing consciousness they were dead with several wounds in their bodies"
