Here men dead or wounded lay in

during the day General Obregon failed
in stubborn attacks on the defenders.
At 500 o'clock the third attempt was

This was more successful, the de-
tenders deserting the right front and
extreme left trenches and fleeing to
the cover of the town. This increased
the hot fire on the American side, and
when a report reached Colonel Tate
that one of his troops had been

aid sheep IN Vermont, and the figures
given to tho secretary OF state by the
scicc,n,en OF the various towns in COM
,,l,a nee with the law passed In 1912. The
federal census giving some 200 more
rn-scs. 500 more COWS, some 46,6O more
swine, and some $50. go more sheep. 1t is
evident that there Is a very wide gap be-
.ween the federal and State figures, too
