0jinaga Nears End
OF Its Resistance

Ell PASO, Tex, Dec H.-Althoush tho
fate of Ojinaga was still In doubt early
today, dispatches from there Indicated
that the town was expected TO fall into
rebel hands before nightfall. Their
ammunition running low, the federal
garrison was still offering a desperate
resistance against overwhelming odds.
but that resistance was rapidly weak
ening.
All advices show that the casualties
have been very heavy, especially on the
federal side. The defenders, realizing
that to be captured would mean execu-
ton, have founght fiercely.
All day yesterday and last night. how
ever, the rebel forces, numbering 5,0oO,
under Generals Ortega- Rodrfgues, and
Zebastian Carranza, advanced steadily
from the direction of La Mula and
Mulato. gradually capturing all the out
works erected by the federals. until at
dark they had drawn a Gordon tightly

Defeat means the death of every

This warning Was carried to Ojinaga by
civilians who had been deputized BY
Ortega to carry it to Castro and then
to go to the American side.
That a wholesale massacre Of Fed

the militia was brought here because
this court felt that the people here were
of q rougher elemen than in the rest
of the State. Since the incarceration
OF the prisoners the tension has been
extremely high. The people have been
highly excited and nervous, and in
that state might do acts which later
would be regretted.
1T was to prevent such acts that this
court ordered the soldiers sent. I wish
to commend Sheriff Brown and States
Attorney Vickers for the creitable man

situation here. They have conducted
affairs in a way which cannot fail to

Outside of Fence.
With the singing arraignment of the
Judge still in their ears. the crowd
hocked out of the courthouse. They
were hurried outside OF the fence, and
then soldiers who had been patrolling
the Jail and court yard were assem-
bled in front of the battered brick
the two prisoners.
The militia, under the command OF
Major Jenkins, surrounded them, and
with loaded rifles the march through
town to the boat was commenced. All
along the street the crowd jeered the
Dandy Fifth,'' but under their off,
GERS instructions, no attention was
paid TO the comments Of the crowds
Every rife was loaded with ball car
tridges, as each man had been provided
with fifteen rounds before leaving the
armory. Their orders were to shoot,
and the crowd knew it, SO, while they
did not hesitate to jeer them, that was
as far as they cared to go.
The prisoners, though, were thor
oushly frightened, in spite Of the de-
tectives close to them and the outer
circle OF militia. The jeers of the mob,
which they ad seen break into the Jail
Saturday night, caused them to trenble.
Don't let them get u.s." they pleaded
with their guards, and every fresh out
burst caused them to look fearfully Mt
the marching troops.
Townspeople Angered.
The presence of the troops has greatly
angered the townspeople. Very early
there was a clash between the civil au-
thorities and the militia, when the shay-
if ordered them out OF the Jail While
they guarded every approach TO the
brick building and thronged the yards,
not a soldier was allowed inside.
That is the sentiment Of the entire
town, at what they consider a direct in
suit. The feeling which has been stir
red up by the presence of the detectives
was heightened by the soldiers. and
Governor Goldsborough was condemned.
While part Of the troops left with
the prisoners on the boat. the others
are still here. It is expected that If
conditions remain quiet they will leave
tonight.
