TELL OF ENCOUNTER
i
STORIES OF CARRIZAL BATTLE
ARE WIDELY DIVERGENT.
CAPTAIN BLAMED-BY SCOUT
( r' -
Private Gibson Declares Mexicans
Killed Wounded Soldiers—Men
of “10th” Blame De Factos.
•
El Paso, Tex.—The twenty-three
negro troopers of the Tenth cavalry,
who at Carrizal, Villahumada, Chihua
hua City, and Jaurez, have been cen
tral figures in the most striking and
potential chapters of the Mexican sit
uation, are once more safely out of
Mexico.
Survivors of a bloody battle with a
vastly superior force; victims twice
of mobs that stoned them; more than
once gripped with the fear of execu
tion for their part in the Boyd expe
dition, and, lastly, objects of interces
sion by the president of the United
States, have been brought to the bor
der from Chihuahua City and turned
over to General George Bell, Jr., com
mander of the El Paso base.
With them came Lem H. Spillsbury,
the Mormon scout, who guided Cap
tain Charles T. Boyd and his little
command over the trail that led to the
Carrizal encounter. Two stories,
widely diverging, were brought back
from their captivity by the prisoners.
One told by Spillsbury, upholds
statements he was credited with mak
ing at Chihauhua City, charging Boyd
with “bullheadedness" in advancing
in the face of a certain Mexican at
tack. The scout said that he was
unable to say who fired the first shot
at Carrizal and added that the Amer
ican command engaged there num
bered seventy-six men, ten of the orig
inal of the eighty-six comprising the
command having been sent back from
Santa Maria. His description of the
battle was practically the same as
that previously given out by other
sources. The scout said that after
the second conference he had urged
Captain Boyd not to advance in the
face of the contrary orders of the
Mexican leaders, but was told that he
should follow instructions.. The other
story, narrated by fighting men of
the Tenth, declares the' Mexicans to
have been the aggressors and blames
them for the ensuing slaughter.
The latter account is embellished
with charges that have not hitherto
been brought to light
Private William D. Gibson de
clared that he was certain that after
the Americans had Quit the field of
the Carrizal battle, the Mexicans
went over it and killed several Ameri
cans who were wounded, but still
alive.
Gibson’s assertion was corroborat
ed by Privates Archie Jones and
Luther Alexander.
Numerous others of the troopers
claimed they had been robbed of
money and valuables following their
capture.
Spillsbury and the prisoners all as
serted that they had received nothing
but the most courteous treatment at
the hards of the Mexican soldiery,
pointing out that every effort was
made to control the inflamed civil
populace of several towns who offer
ed them bodi’r' harm. They were
stoned, they said, at Villa Ah’mada,
when they were put on the tr^in.
They were confined in individual
cells in the Chihuahua penitentiary,
Spillsbury said, but throughout the
days they were allowed the liberty of
a small patio, where thov gathered
and talked over their chances for
freedom.
Menacing Pershing Expedition.
Columbus. N. M.—According to re
ports received here 10.000 Carranzista
cavalry have been mobilized at Bus
tillo cn the Mexico Northwestern,
12.000 men are at Villa Ahumada,
2.000 are at Guzman, and General P.
Elias Calles of Sonora is moving
large bodies of troops toward the So
nora-Chihuahua border.
If these reports are true, the en
veloping movement of the Mexicans
around General Pershing’s army is
becoming more and more pro
nounced. Army officers say, however,
that the American commander is re
adjusting his men to meet every
move.
Close Watch on the Border.
Washington.—Agents of the investi
gation bureau of the department of
Justice are instructed to keep a close
watch on all southern ports to prevent
arms being loaded for Mexico.
Minimum Wage for Soldiers.
Denver, Colo.—A minimum wage
should be granted soldiers as well as
Industrial workers, according to Frank
P. Walsh of Kansas City, addressing
the convention of the Brotherhood ol
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
here, just recently.
No Signs of Japanese.
Washington.—Admiral Winslow re
ported that his fleet had made a com
plete survey of the Mexican west
coast and had found no trace of Jap
panese warships rumored there.
Cyclone in Montana.
Billings. Mont.—J. M. Bassett of El
dorado, Kan., was killed and twenty
other persons were injured by a cy
clone at Wibaux, Mont., several days
ago. Many buildings were damaged
and a carnival show was completely
destroyed.
Three Die in Cloudburst.
