El Paso, Tex, Nov. 26.--The fed
eral troops resumed fighting in their
attempt to capture JuareZ from the
COnstitutiOnalists under General Fran,
cisco Villa. Apparently they depend.
ed on their heavy guns to break the
rebel lines, the battle opening with
heavy cannonading.
simultaneously firing opened at
dawn southeast Of the JuareZ race
track and opposite Ysleta, Tex, about
twelve miles east OF Juarez. The fed,
erals used cannon in both attacks.
The appearance OF the federals near
the racetrack indicated they had
worked their way around the rebel
outposts during the night
The heavy fighting at Zaragosa, OF.
pOslte 4sleta, was taken to contradict
the assertion that General Inez SalaZ.
or's federal troops had been surround.
ed and virtually made prisoners III
the previous battle. This claim had
been made by Juan N. Medina, chief
OF General Villas staff. Early reports
from YS!eta were that the fighting
was heavy, the roar Of the cannon be.
ing plainly audible.
These reports said that Villa had
taken four wagOnloads of supplies
and ammunition across the border at
Secorro during the night, together
with q considerable supply of forage
for the horses
FederaIs Driven Back
The sound Of battle south Of Juarez,
the center OF General Villas battle
front could be heard at .Juarez, but
the fighting was not close enough for
any bullets o. shells to fall either in
Juarez or FL Paso.
Reports received at rebel headqua1-
ters at a. N. said the rebels had
driven the fec :ral center back to SAM
alyuca, thirty.two miles south. How
ever, cannonading could still be heard
in Juarez
Passes were demanded from all
Americans who appeared on the
streets Of JuareZ. Street car tratfic
across the International bridge was
not stopped, but persons having no
business in Juarez were hustled out
by rebel guards at the border.
All the hotels in Juarez were cleared
during the night by the rebels for use
as hospitals.
Many wounded We're reported lying
on the field because it was impossible
during the fighting to bring them into

HUNTERS WAIT
FOR SNOWFALL
Nimrods Hoping For Fall Of Several
Inches Before Season Comes to
an End Next Sunday
MANY ABANDON HUNTING TRIPS
Larger Parties Have Been Successful
Because Of They Have Been Able
To Make Drives

Mduy beulluJl hunters are lSClll
waiting anxiously for snow to fall in
appreciate quantities before taking
to the woods for their annual fall
hunt. The fleecy white which dead
ems the noises of the brush and en-
ables the nimrod to track the wound
ed game has threatened several times
but in each instance the weather man
failed to produce.
Many who went out at the begin
ming of the season returned with the
avowed inten ton of remaining until
they should be able to hunt with
snow. The seasons is nearly gone
and the ground is still bare. Many are
doomed to disappointment in this re-
spect and some of them are taking 10
the pines in the hoye that they will
be able to bag their game without
snow or that it will fall by the time
they get located in their camps. .-,'
Large Number Killed :
Large numbers of deer and moose
are being killed but the slaughter is
much less than would have been the
case if the hunters had snow. Many
hunters claim that as many deer, are
killed without snow as with it, but
that scores of deer are wounded and
die in the woods without being found.
The suggestion that the opening Of
the season be made later. has met
with much favor among the large
army which each fall takes to the
woods for deer and moose. ~.
Enjoyable Outings
The weather thus far has been
ideal and many who have not sue
ceeded in landing game have had en-
joyable outings in the outdoors dur
ing the finest time of the year. The
hunters would prefer, lower tenn
perature with snow, especially those
who have moose in the woods. They
are often shot in swamps, a long way
from roads and railroads, and which
are almost inaccessible until they
freeze. Very often they are obliged to
leave their moose for weeks, until
they can get road swamped out
With the mercury above the freezing
point the game is in great danger OF
spelling. The majority of these will
cut up their moose and pack out as
much of them as they can carry in
order to save them from total loss.
The deer hunters are hurrying in
their game faster than they would in
many cases for the same reason.
Make "Drives'
The larger parties have as a rule
had better success than the smaller
ones. They have been able to make
"drives," some of them stationing
themselves on runways about small
swales and thickets while other mem
bers went through them chasing out
the deer for the watchers to shoot. By
repeating this operation they have
worked" the woods in their vicinity
thoroughly and in almost every case
the large parties have come back with
their fill quota.

LICENSED PLUMBERS
MAKE A PROTEST

In commissioners meeting this
morning Commissioner Schreiner In
timated that the plumbing business
in Abilene was tending to become
a monopoly so far as setting prices
was concerned. A. L. Eshelman
appeared to protest to the commits
sfonars against the granting of
permits to tap the sewer mains and
install plumbing to unlicensed
plumbers. 1t was not fair to the
licensed plumbers to have to pay a.
license fee of IS a year and put up
a $3.50 bond to make good their
work and then have unlicensed per-
sons tap mains and put in plumb
ing, Mr.. Bshelman said. Mr..
Schreiner admitted that there was
Injustice in that.
In one instance, Mr.. Eshelman
said, a man in Abilene sent to a |
mail order house and got his plumb
ing equipment. Then he had an
unlicensed plumber tap the main
and install the plumbing. Mr.. Eshel-
man contended that it was not the
best thing for the public health nor
Justice to the licensed and bonded
plumbers to allow this. Permits to
tap mains have been granted to
others than licensed plumbers by
