KILLS VILLA’S LIEUTENANT

Lieut. George S. Patton, while on a foraging trip near the San Antonio camp, visited the San Miguel ranch, about sixty miles southeast of Namiquipa, and with a scout and nine enlisted men in three automobiles encountered and killed three Villistas, one of whom was Capt Julio Cardenas, a well-known lieutenant of Vifla. Patton and his men left the camp in their three autos and fought the bandits from the autos, that is to say, they sprang directly from their cars into the fight, putting the encounter in a class by itself.
