5th Cavalry, while another cavalry
detachment drove herd of one hum

captured from the Villa forces, to the
remount station.
! 1t was pnofficially stated tonight at
Fort Bliss that approximately fifty
Villa followers were killed and a
number OF prisoners, horses and
mules captured.
One American of the 9TH Cavalry,
Corporal Chigas, was shot through
the hung by a Mexican rebel on the
south bank of the river.
After crossing in the night, the
cavalry column, supported by bat
talon of the 8ad Artillery, advanced,
/ and at daybreak started scouting
south of Yaleta, Tex. Capturing the
seven prisoners before reaching the
Villa camp, the cavalry proceeded to
within a short distance OF the adobe
headquarters when fighting was be-
gun by the Americans standing in
water up to their knees, according to
cavalry officers. Four Villa men
were killed in the first assault and
the entire force, numbering approx
mately 200 men dismounted and es-
capped toward the southwest with the
cavalry troops in pursuit. The rebels
scattered into small bands and Col.

The artillery placed shrapnel direct
ly over the heads of the fleeing Villa
force and many were killed. After
the two cavalry forces had pursued
the rebels over more than thirty
square miles, they formed junction
and returned to the American side of
the river, accompanied by the artil-
lery and 9th Engineers, who threw a
pontoon bridge across the river.
The cavalry, artillery and en-
gineers presented tired, soiled and

For since the Yankees left the port

The little boys of Neufchateau

Since all the doughboys up and left

No more are filed their little traps
With bareback and with bacon

And hoped the troop-trains with
