ed today to the scene of the clash
yesterday between American cow

that further trouble was believed to
have been averted.
The trouble started when six Amer

a herd of cattle on the American "
side. The Mexican band of twenty
began firing and the cowboys re
turned the fire. Outnumbered, they
gradually withdrew northward and
were reinforced by Utah cavalrymen
Later it was reported that another de
tachment of Utah guardsmen under
Lieutenant Arns has been sent to the
scene.
The Mexicans are said to have at
tacked in open formation, but soon
their forces became scattered. No
reports of American casualties have
been received here.. It is not known
whether the Mexicans suffered any
losses. Today it was believed that
sufficient forces were on hand to con
trol the situation. .
