He was attracted to the sound of gunfire in a nearby abandoned sharecropper village where he watch a shootout between Black guerrillas and Mexican troops. He was forced out of cover in the woods by a Mexican flanking manoeuvre and fled into the village. There he warned the guerrillas and they succeeded in driving the Mexicans off.
