"Tho others, stung by the bullets nnd kicked by the dying horses, began to rear and pluuge. The mon In charge tried their best to hold them ,but they broke away. 8ome of the men were killed trying to save their mounts. "When the horses got away wo were marooned. We fought back nnd pre vented the Mexicans from ndvanclng In splto of their advantage In numbera and the machine guns. We began to fall back toward, the hills as well as we could.
