The regular passenger train over the
Juarez division Of the Mexico Northwest
ern Railway was dtched by Orozco's
insurgents in small cut at Buacho. ten
miles south Of Juarez. at 915 o'clock
last night.
The insurgents. who were stationed
within 200 yards OF the scene. immedi-
ately made an examination. because the
train had not stopped when signalled,
causing them to suspect that Colonel
Rabago's federals were on board. The
train contained eighteen cars. and Gen
eral Orozco ordered his men TO fire a
vollev into the air to show what part OF
the train was occupied by soldiers.
Men began to jump off the train. and
Orozco. not being able to distinguish
who were soldiers and who were not, or
dered another harmless volley fired. The
