REBELS LUST FOR A BATTLE
CAUSED THEM To MAKE
SUDDEN Fight.
They Were Repulsed With Heavy Loss
Five People on American Side Killed
u. S. Makes Protests to Both Sides
Battle In Plain View of Ell Paso,
General Madero Disheartened

FL Paso, Texas, May 9.-Jnsubordina-
ton in the ranks of General Madero s
army, and lust for the fight of which
concessions of the federal government
had apparently deprived them, caused
fierce attack on Juarez, which cul
minated Monday night in careful re-
treat of the insurrectos under cover of
darkness after day of continuous
diminishing.
The $50 rebels who early in the day
opened fire on the federals, not only cap
tured some of the important outposts,
but carried the fight into Juarez. Fail
ing reinforcements, they retired.
The total dead for the days fighting,
according to insurrectos and federals,
is estimated at near 80. The wounded
will number close to 60.
Five people on the American side were
killed, and at least IL wounded.
Colonel Steever Protests.
Colonel Steever, in command of the
Fourth United States cavalry, sent two
messengers to General Navarro, protest
ing against the federal fire into Ameri-
can territory. One of them bore a flag
of truce and another an American flag.
Colonel Stever sent similar protest
to General Madero. 1t read:
Gin the name of the president and
the government of the United States,
1 hereby protest against the men under
your command handling their arms in
such a way that bullets fall into United
States territory, as is happening today"
Thousands of people in Ell Paso dotted
roof-tops or lined the river bank in di-
rect line of the fire. Colonel Steever,
of the Fourth United States cavalry
protested to both armies against the
fire into American territory, and it les
sened considerably thereafter.
Nearly 10000 American troops were
massed on the border, keeping the
crowds back, and ready to respond tC
any orders from Washington.

GRAB DIAMONDS; cHAsERs SHOT



Salt Lake City, Utah, May 10.-One
man was killed and two were wounded
in a running battle here, Tuesday, be-
tween an informal posse of police and
citizens and two men who robbed a
downtown pawnshop of diamonds valued
at $4,000.
The dead: Joseph w. Axtell, hotel
fireman.
The wounded: E. E. Wellman, shot
through body, probably will die; F. d.
ljgginbotham, shot in leg.
The bandits entered a pawnshop in
East Second South street, and while
one of them with two revolvers pre-
vented the three clerks of the estab-
lishment from reaching any of the doz-
ems of firearms which lay almost under
their hands, the other scooped diamonds
from a window tray into his pocket.
Both then fed.
Citizens, attracted by the cutlery of
the clerks, started a pursuit AS they
neared the robbers, one of them turned
and fred three shots. Axtell dropped
dead in his tracks, and Wellman and
Higginbotham fell wounded. Fearing
that ali three had been killed, an en-
ragged crowd swarmed from the stores
and Offices, forcing the bandits to sep
arate.
Both were caught. The one with the
diamonds tried to throw them into the
street, and succeeded in disposing of
some of them in this way.
When arrested they gave the names
of J. J. Morris, ranchman, and John
Murray, miner. Axtell is survived by
a widow and three children.
