Dodd's battle with Villistas on April 22 at Temochic It was the devil's own play grounds fhis was Colonel Dodd's deseription of the terrian of this battle in southwestern Chihuahua among towering mountain wligre 130 bandits sought refuge . Dodd's troops of th H, I and L, fought jmmense hollow, with bandith n three sides, charging deliberately over 1 ground with bullet puffs in the dust all about their feet, where the Mex) had their exact range. They a at lenst fifty bandits killed wounded against an American loas of two dead and three wounded Mexlean woman was wounded by bandits Bandits Flee Hurrledly, Two nights before this fight, the Amer icans overtook the bandits at the Yoquive two enth cavalry, B, hours from an cans counted for One mine, where they were lylng about camp fires, telling the natives stories of how they claimed to have whipped “Los Amer- feanos,” at Columbus and at Guerrero, They showed big lumps of gold and sliver taken from Mexican towns and melted down, which they asserted were spolls of war. Shortly before midnight An outpost ran In breathless, exclaiming “Los Americanos are coming in, Scores of dark forms leaped through the fire light, bugles blew and iIn ten minutes the whole bandit command had salloped out of town, When the cavalry came in they found two American mining men, n Mr. Secferth and another who had pald 32,000 ransom to the Villiatas, and whose lives probably had been saved #eventh's arrival Americans said the bandits were Candelero Corvantes, Jesus Del Rios, Cruz Dominguez and Manuel Baca, who was killed the following Hunday after the fight by a Mexican Among them were followers of Julio Acosta and General Beltran. They were remnants of all the best commanders’ not been shaken by defeats at Columbus, Guerrero and Augua Callentes. Saturday afternoon at 4:3, Dodd’s men, arriving at the southern rim of the hillx forming the cup in which the town of Temochic lles, saw the rear guard of Villistas riding out of town, Ahead of them they saw the main body of the bandits walting behind rocks to glve bat- tle. A machine gun was placed to sweep this ridge while the Amerioans rode dpwn into the cup in pursult. They dis- mounted in town, advaneing on foot with vifles ready, led by Troop Li and accom- panied by the two guides. American Trooper Wit While still in town a trooper was hit and mortally wounded, The shot came from the flank, from a cave In a moun- tain everiooking Temochio, Out of a big adobe chimney the troops pulled' a sniper, the only one caught in the place. Beyond the town, Troop I, advanced to within range of the crests above. They crossed the range in short rushes, lying down and firing, then advancing a fow yards. Colonel Dodd with his staff rode through this zome of fire, while bullets fell within » yard or two of every man until they reached a small knoll beyond the town. From here Dodd directed the fight. Another machine gun was brought up close to play on the force at the crest In front of the knoll. Out along the american line & trooper was lying on his stomach firing. His comrade saw & bullet strike forty feet ahead of him. In a moment more a third ball struck him fn the head, killing him. A leuten- ant lying among his men, directing the fire, was wounded. Mextcans’ Fire Cheoked. Meanwhile the Americans had gotten the range of the Mexicans on the crest and checked their fire. Several freshly made graves on this crest, found next day, testified to the Americans’ aim. One Mexican loader on a gray horse rode into sight on this sky line half a dozen times, but seemed to bo a charm ngainst bullets, His grey mount was the last Jiving object the Americans distinguished before darkness ended the fight, Thia horse was found wounded next day at Santo Tomas, where Manuel Baca, the Villista leader was killed by Leondro Alvarez, a Mexican pacifico, for the price of twenty silver pasos, about 3 American money, The Mexicans sald the horse was Baca British War Craft Disabled_I_)_uring Raid known Villa veterans, and all that time at least the last known band of Villista's remaining bad men whose nerve had MISS ANGELICA BROWN, of 200 notable New York so | | | | | | One Year Ago Today | in the War The Russians hegun a goneral reireat from the Carpathians Italy denoun the Triple Alllance treaty with Germany and Austria Petrograd admitted enemy had forced pussage of the Dunajec river in Galicla.
