General George Bell, Jr. ' commanding the El Paso military department de-partment announced that he had arranged ar-ranged for the train bearing them to ! cross the river to Ei Paso tomorrow : morning. Military lists indicate that fourteen ; of the men who composed the Tenth : cavalry command, engaged at Carrizal, were missing. However, the party of American undertakers who exhumed tho , bodies reported that despite the cooper- i ation of tho Carranzista authorities, J they were able to find only the nin-L bodies buried near the battlefield. The7 names of the troopers whose bodies were recovered were not made public tonight,: the authorities being unable to determine deter-mine identity definitely before morning. j Hopes were expressed that some of the five soldiers, who are yet missing, ' may be alive, perhaps lying wounded ' in some isolated Mexican "hut.
