According: to the story brousht here, the Mexican bandits first attacked a store and one or two houses in whore they made Deemer and Compton prisoners, and then sped fifEo-quill- as. teen miles northward to make their attack on Glenn Springs. a At Glenn Springs they wrecked wax factory belonging to William Ellis, his store and residence, besides one or two other small buildings. At 5.30 Friday morning the main mounted Mexbody cf fifty to seventy Rio Grande at ican bandits forded the Uoouillas and swept into the little settlement shouting "Death to the grlngoes." The bandits surrounded the mercantile store of J. Deemer and after looting the place set It on fire. Deemer and a clerk named Compton were seized and bound. The bandits packed their loot on their horses and after Betting one or two small frame houses ablaze galloped away northward. Fifteen miles over the mountainous country the body of bandits made their way. heading towards Marathon, and Jn their night ride they came upon Glenn Fprings, where a small detachment of nine cavalrymen, under command of Sergeant Smyth of troop A, Fourteenth cavalry, was stationed. PRIVATK inoiSKS CAMP. The Mexicans appeared suddenly on top of a hill beneath which Glenn Pprlngs nestles. The figures of the bandits were silhouetted against the skyline, and In noting their numbers. Private Iiirck, on outpost duty, emptied his revolver to rouse the camp and then dashed back to the tent. Observing numbers of Mexicans at hand, they ran to an adobe hut, where the six other cavalrymen were preparing to make their defense. The door of the hut house, which had Seronly one window, was barred, and were geant Smyth, seeing that his men oroutnumbered by ten to one, gave ders to shoot carefully and not waste the ammunition. "We are up against it cold." said Smyth. but we will shoot them something. L.et the Mexicans shoot their heads off and run out of ammunition and maybe by morning we will be In a position to give them a run." XOK WHI'MIKD IX SHACK. On the dash from their tent Smyth and Croskem had lost their revolvers, having been forced to retreat to the adobe house half clothed because of the rapid approach of the Mexicans. The bandits poured a constant fusillade of shots at the window and door of the adobe house. Not an American cavalrymen fell in the exchanges. "Pick out any moving figure." shouted Smyth, "and let go." The little band of nine men took turns shooting from the window. Blood stains In the dry ground around the house was the only evidence that the bandits suffered In the attack, but Serthat seven or geant .Smyth believes bandits were killed and some eight were wounded. For three long hours the fight went on. 'Just a little while more, boys, and daylight will be with us," urged Smyth, who knew the bandits would The Mexicans fought in skirmish formation. That was proof to Smyth's eyem that he was dealing with a military body. The attackers' horses were tethered some distance to the rear and the brigands maintained their attack on three sides of the house, from which there was no escape except the door and the single window. Unable to rout the Americans from their fort, the leader of the Mexican band gave orders to throw fire balls on the roof, which was thatched partly with tin and partly with candalaria weed. Flaring torches made of torn cloth and weeds were dropped upon the roof, which started to burn. There was no water in the house to check the flames, and the fire threw down its heat like a broiler upon the nine soldiers below. The heat became Intense, and the faces and backs of the soldiers, still firing spiritedly through the window, became blistered and burnt. KILI.FI) IN 'WINDOW. "I can't stand it any longer," cried Private William Cohen. "I'll take another shot and then try and make It the window." through Cohen leaped into the window frame to make his dash for the open. A bullet split his skull and he fell back dead into the house. Outside the voice of a Mexican was heard to say: "Line up on each side of the door. They must come out." Smyth told his men that the time had come to make a dash. The heat had burnt the tops of their heads. Coloe stepped forward to the door and smashed the boards with his gun stock. The gun broke but the door gave way and Coloe dashed out. His body was found next morning not far away, riddled with many bullets. He probably ran Into the main band of mud-walle- d Mexicans. Smyth, leading the other cavalrymen, turned to the left and made for the Mexicans firing at them the corral, as thej- - fled. Itogers' body was found not far from the burned house, but for Tyree could not be accounted when Smyth and his men. who reached the hills In safety. Investigated next morning. Tyree may have been made prisoner, but if so fhe soldiers here think he has probably been killed by now. AT OTIIKIt SBTTLEMEXTS. After the attack on the American troops the bandits rushed to the wax factory of W. K. Kills and destroyed the building, hesides setting fire to the factory store. Kills' home was ransacked. A cross that hung In one room Is believed to have saved the house from being burned. When morning came the American troopers crept back to the settlement and saw the main body of some fifty Mexicans packing their loot upon their horses and the nine American cavalry mounts which they had captured. Then with a cry, they turned towards the llio Grande and started for Hoqulllas.

General Obregon and his advisers came from their private conference in Juarez with their faces betraying ap parent anxiety. It was indicated they had talked of the course they would pursue in the event another punitive expedition into Mexico and how to meet the immediate situaion arising out of me iig ucnu raid. Throughout the conference, Obregon had assumed an air that appeared to indicate that he was counseling a conservative atti- tude. loiter a Mexican official stated that all effort would be made to prevent the radical element from precipitating a clash between the government forces and the Americans in case of their crossing the river. His attitude, he explained, was not to offer opposition to a second entry other than by protest, and in the end to endeavor to adjust the new move by the standard Generals Scott and Obregon have tried to apply lo the first.
