Mount Vernon, Mo., April 29, 1865.

CAPTAIN: I have the honor to report the success of a scout made by Lieutenant J. P. Boyd, Company C, with thirteen men, on the 27th instant. On the night of the 26th two bushwhackers made their appearance on Center Creek and robbed Parson Oliver. The lieutenant started in pursuit at 9 o'clock next morning and trailed them some four miles west of James Creek. In the thick brush he found them. Killed both of them and recovered all the stolen property, together with their camp and garrison equipage.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

The trail after leaving the ranch went in the direction of Mangus Colorado's Ranch, toward the Gila River. After following it about four miles and a half it became so dim that I had to
