skirmish at Baker Springs

I recently found just a tid bit of information regarding a skirmish in montgomery co. at a place called baker springs. All I know is that over 100 union troops from the 2nd Kansas cavalry led by Capt E.A Baker set up an ambush near the springs. 6 confederates including Capt. Williamson were killed and over 20 were taken as prisoners. I found out that all six confederate soldiers were buried near the springs but I can find no official records regarding this incident or records of the graves. I would like to find out as much as possible about this skirmish. Any help would much be appreciated
