RAIN OF SHELLS
NEAR BORDER
fContiued from Page ID

A shower of lead fell among the
United States cavalry commanded by
Gaujot. One troopers hat was pierre
ed and bullet went through another, s
sleeve. One cavalry horse was struck
in the flank and bolted across the in
ternational border. carrying it's rider
almost to Aqua Prieta. Captain eau
lot then ordered his troops behind the
shelter Of adobe buildings.
At $50 the first ambulance load OF
wounded returned to Douglas and
half an hour later second ambulance
came in The ambulance nurses said
it impossible to estimate at this time
how many had been killed but that
the rebels were apparently more than
holding their own. The wounded
were taken to the town hall and the
Congregational church where the tenn
porai-y hospitals have been establish
ed. Among the wounded brought in
was Oscar Coll. a reporter for the
Douglas Dispatch, who had slipped
over the border into a rebel trench
He was wounded by a Mauser bullet
in the left temple. A few inches tc
the left would have been fatal.
The ambulance attendants declared
the Federals, repulsed in their first
attack, reformed and attacked Sec
ond time, capturing few buildings
at the outskirts Of Aqua Prieta. De-
flying the order to stay out of danger
two thousand citizens of Douglas
climbed to the housetops here and
watched the progress of the battle.
The 7th street school building was
struck several times but there were
no pupils in the building. The Off
Gals in the American custom house
which is on the border, were driver
out and took refuge in a bridge behinc
the railroad embankment. When the
first shot was fired Captain Gaujot's
troop Of cavalry was called to arms
and stationed q hundred feet back
from the border
Nurses returned from the battle
field say both General Garcia, the reb
ell commander, and Red Lopez whC
led the insurgent troops when Aqua
Prieta was captured week ago, dis
played great fearlessness during the
engagement.
Garcia rode about needlessly expos

MISS JENNIE VREDENBURGH
DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Had Been in Service of Rowland Dry
Goods Company For Many
Years.

At an early hour this morning death
came to Miss Jennie Vredenburgh at
her home LOT Fremont street, after
a. long and painful illness. Miss Vre-
denburgh was known personally to a
great many of the older residents of
the city. while the younger generation
will remember her because of the I'M
falling courtesy which marked her
meetings with them during her long
business life with the Rowland Dry
Goods Company.
In many respects her life, while
uuiet and lnostentaious, was remark
able. For a. period of thirty-one
years she had been in mercantile life
in practically the same place. In 1880
she became connected with the firm
of w. B. Hall & Company in the
store which then stood at the corner
of Main ana Cannon streets. From
then ND to a short time ago she had
been daily to her service at the same
corner. for in 1894 she entered the SER
vice of the Rowland Company, thus
continuing what proved to be an en-
gagement of thirty-one years in the
same location
While quiet of manner Miss Vreden-
burgh was actually an enthusiast. No
member of the big Rowland force took
a. greater delight in their duties and
, none was a. more loyal or energetic
worker than she till failing health
caused her retirement a short time
ago Soon after this became neces-
sary. she was compelled to give up all
activities and since then had been I'M
der constant medical care She suf.
fered much and severe pain, but bore
lit all uncomplainingly until the end
which was a peaceful and, 1t may rev.
erently be said, welcome release.
Miss Vredenburgh was member Of
the First Methodist church, but her
circle of friends was far more than
churchwide. In fact there were few
who came in contact with her who did
not feel a spirit of personal friendli-
ness touch them. She will be greatly
missed, not least of all by those with
whom she daily and cheerily served
in the cloak department at the How
land store
