Mexican ran. Corporal McLeod was
awakened by the shot and he fired
three times to alarm the guard and
Captain Percy McClay. The corporal
also fired at the fleeing Mexican.
"Greasers" Escape.
After Bauman had been cared for,
Captain McClay and his m^n scenred

the camp say they know nothing of
the affair.
Officers believe one or two Mexicans
came across the river with the inten

by friendly proposals from one of the
combatants to join the other in a cigar
cr glass of lemonade.
