Mr. Carillo, Mr. Whittemore, and twenty-five Apaches from the reservation. Captain Calloway and his company (I, First Infantry California Volunteers) was directed to follow the trail of the mounted party. Lieutenant Newbold encountered over 100 Navajoes, mounted and on foot, about twelve miles from the post. A sharp fight ensued, in which 9 Navajoes were left dead on the field. The Navajoes than broke into two parties and fled, and a running fight was kept up for about ten miles. Part of the force pursued one party to the Pecos River. Of this party only 8 escaped. Of the other party of Indians only 17 escaped, and some of these were wounded. Forty Indians are reported to have been left dead on the field and at least twenty-five wounded. It is believed that nearly all the Navajoes would have been killed had it not been for the extremely cold weather. The mercury was 10 deg. below zero. The men could with difficulty cap their pieces, their fingers being so numb. Some were frostbitten. About fifty head of horses and mules were recovered in this fight, all belonging to the Apaches. Major Wallen calls the attention of the general commanding to the handsome manner in which Lieutenant Newbold managed this successful engagement; also to the meritorious conduct of the soldiers, citizens, and Apaches engaged.
