superior numbers. The 5th and 2nd U. S. cavalry were sent to
reinforce the 1st and in the skirmish which followed 27 of the
enemy were captured. The following day there was continual
skirmishing, although no concerted attempt was made to drive
the Federals from their position. No casualties were reported.
