received to-day from Torreon by Deputy
Melesio PARA says that Gen. Trucy Aubert
Of the Federal forces, who was cut off yes
terday from assistance in q battle with the
rebels, has been killed by a dynamite bomb.
The message further says that Gen. Pancho
Villa of the Federal army has been captured
and executed by Gen. Orozco, the insurgent
Commander in Chief.
The body of Gen. Jose Salas, ex-Minister
of War, who is reported to have committed
suicide after a Federal defeat at Jiminez
several days ago, has been brought here on
a special train, which also carried $50
wounded men, including fifteen officers.
The station on the arrival of the train was
crowded, and the people cheered for the
army, Salas, and Madero.
Three hundred rebels are reported to be
operating % miles from the hospital. The
Administration insists that they are Federal
troop from Jiminez.
A carload of rifles and ammunition is on
it's way here, consigned TO the American
Ambassador. These are Intended for use by
the American colony. The Germans have
purchased 500 rifles for their own use, on
which the Government has waived the duty.

by request of the English residents, to carry
them to Vera Cruz III case OF emergency -

about one-sixth the combined value

! The average value of all farm prop
erty per acre of land is S46.64; and
the average value of land itself per
acre, s32.4O.
1t is a significant fact that wher -
as the total populatio increased
per cent since 1900, the urban
population increased 34S per cent
and the rural population only II ,
per cent. The numebr and acreage
of farms increased much less rapidly
than the total population bu, more
nearly kept pace with the rural rop-
uation movement The Tnnnhrr Of
farms increased only t.H per rent.
This, however, is less significant
than the increase in acreage cf I'M

15.4 per cent, showing a greater per.
centage of increase than the mum er

be noted that rural population Is
much broader term than "agricui-

than in the earlier 1t is possible that
the reported increase in the popula-
tion of land improved, from as.4 per
cent in 1900, to 54.4 in 1910, is partly
due to differences of Interpretation
as to what constitutes improved land.
The total value of farm property
little more than doubles during the
decade 1900 to 1910 The greater part
of this extraordinary increase has
been in farm land, the value of which
increased no less than ISL per cent
