Culiacan. Mexico, April 20, via Ell
Paso, April 26.--The fiercest battle
of the revolution on the west coast
is now raging at Tepic, where two
thousand rebels, styling themselves
Zapatistas, are engaged in an attempt
to take the town. There was heavy
loss of life when the big Topic arena,
crowded with refugees. was raZeo.
The statehouse was torn down and
the residence of number of the
wealthest citizens were looted and
torn down.
The battle began at 10 O'Clock yes
terday and was still in progress at
6 o'clock this morning. Some of the
heaviest lighting occurred in Mexico
street, near the Bola de Ora, where
in short time the pavement became
slippery with blood.
The rebels who took this place OH
the 18th, are still in possession and
are numerous, If not well led. There
are twenty chiefs but Vega Is su-
preme. They have made a thorough
job of looting stores and warehouses
and are now attacking private resi-
dences. Only two Americans are
still here. There have been no trains
on the Southern Pacific for eleven
days and although officials of the
road are doing all in their power to
rescue persons in danger, many OF
them are suffering for food, ordinar-
lily brought by rail. and in some
places the lack of water is severely
felt.
when the rebel column of fifteen
hundred men under Generals Franco,
Vego and Quintero entered this city
yesterday the federal garrison at
tempted to slip out, but was over
taken at the railroad and n fight en-
sued In which the rebels lost twenty
killed and the fedorals, who were
greatly outnumbered, several more.
The rebels first Communicated all
horses and mules.
Looting was confined to stores
and warehouses for the most part.
Quintero's eagerness for loot cost
him his life. He violated truce In
entering the city prematurely and
the disorders which followed and for
which his men were held responsible |
were so serious that he was arrested, |
tried by court martial and shot dead |
in the presence of the troops drawn !
up on Canedo bridge. His death re- |
lieves the state of one of its worst |
elements.
Twenty-Five Americans fled the /
city the day the rebels took posses /
sion. Today there was an interVen- /
tion scare and six others left on /
railroad motor car
The American hacienda Quimichic,
Oh the .Snaloa- -Tepic border, was
attacked recently by local bandits.
The place was held by five Americans
who repuised the attack, the bandits
losing several of their number. The
assault was made at 10 O'Clock at
night and lasted half hour. The
enemy once repulsed the Americans
gathered their eight women and chill
dren and walked twenty miles to
river where they secured canoes and
made their way, suffering intense
hardship, to Teacapan. where they
boarded a steamer for Mazatlan.

GAS FRANCHISE
Fer Ten YEARS
OPPONENTS CIRCULATE FALSE
REPORT TO CREATE SENT.
MENT AMONG cREDULous
ONES THAT GAS FRANCHISE is
FOR A LONG TERM.

Statements have been circulated
with the intention Of influencing a GER
tain class Of voters, to the effect that
the gas franchise is for a term Of
twenty-five years. That statement Is
not true, the gas ordinance submit
ted to the voters at the special election
today provides that it runs for q term
of ten years. AT three polling places
this morning several voters asked par
ticularly as to the truth of the state
ments which had been made to them
and the clause In the ordinance as to
its term OF expiration was read to
them-that the gas franchise only
runs for q term of ten years
Up to 1 o'clock this afternoon, the
report from the polls was that the
voting up 10 that hour had been rather
light. At the Second ward at the
time named there were hfty-eight
votes cast.
Election officers say the fact that the
polls do not close until Q o'clock this
evening is not conducive to early yot-
ing and that the bulk Of the votes will
be cast late this afternoon and this
evening, after supper. Those who are
watching the trend of affairs say the
indications point to a good vote being
cast as it Is believed the bulk OF the
voters believe that an issue of great
Importance to the general welfare and
development of the city of Moorhead
rests on this election.
Pursuant to the state law, this be-
ing election day, the saloons are all
closed n will remain closed until the
usual opening hour tomorrow morning.
