the town. An all night battle ragged

the federals poured a murderous rifle
and machine gun fire into the rebels

Villa stopped the bombardment of
the city early last night as the artil-

as much as it damaged the enemy.
The crackle of small arms was inces-

A large part of the town is on fire.
The flames furnished light for the
bloody struggle. Villa estimated the
rebel dead at $50 and the federal dead
at more than 500.
The plaza was the goal at which
Villa aimed. All streets leading into
it were barricaded. To avoid delay
with the Instructions the rebels cut
their way in many instances through
