VILLAS MEN WON
BY SCORN|NG DEATH
Overcame Terrific Odds When
They Crushed Enemy at
Zacatecas.
DEFENSES OF THE CITY
MOST ELABORATE OF WAR
Prepared for Long Resistance, Fed
erals Fled Before Desperate
Assaults of Rebels.

ZACATECAS, June % delayed over
military wire).-There is no longer any
doubt that the federals suffered in the
loss of this city their most crushing de-
feat SO far in the present revolution. II
was learned today from survey Of theil
Notifications that they had anticipated
holding their positions here for months
In no previous instance had SO many
earthworks been thrown up, or had the
scheme of defense been planned SO ably
The miles of trenches. stone parapets
and the many small earthwork forts
which fell before the constitutionalists
one after another in eight hours on the
last day of the battle testified to this
fact In no single instance were these
positions given up without a desperate
fight.
The troops of Villas army scaled bar
rem hillsides where footing seemed i'm
possible. Whole lines of the attacking
parties were cut down, but always there
were others to take their places. When
finally the top of the hill or mountain
was reached the federals would rush
headlong down the farther side only to
be moved down by the constitutionalist
fire.
Led Attack in Person.
All day long Tuesday the Villa men,
led by their commander-in-chief, pressed
forward in this manner, and at shutdown
the city was in their hands.
Owing to the nature of the ground and
the necessity of being economical in the
use of ammunition. the firing at no time
was voluminous. The fire of the consti-
tuionalists was excellent and their effort
To o1ya tod n
desultory shooting. Sporadic outbreaks
of fire occurred after the attackers had
scaled mountain sides and were out OF
view of the defenders.
There would enSue strained Silences, to
be broken by volleys from the federals as
soon as the enemy came into sight In
many cases the constitutionalists did, not
answer, but continued up the slope until
the federals fed down the other side of
the hill. So far distant We're the artillery
positions Of the constitutional lists that
they were unable to employ most of their
pieces.
Hard Field for Battle.
The objective point that had to be
reached by the attacking party lay IN
the basin surrounded by two CHAINS CT
mountains and their foothills.
The valleys are deep and frequently BIZ
sected with canyons. This made it in
possible for the federals to use their ar
tillery effectively. Once the constitution
alists had reached a mountain side 1t was
difficult for their own artillery to sup
port them on account of the steep slopes
and narrow crests which made their lire
more dangerous to friend than to enemy.
The constitutfonalists were in position
four days. They were exposed alternately
to drenching rains. scorching sun and
chilling cold of the night, which exists at
this altitude height above sea level Of
from 5000 to 1900 feet-with one blanket
for protection and practically no food.
The federals held to their positions VAL
iantly. but were overwhelmed by the fierce
onslaught of Villas men.

Taking CalOmel

So Powerful 1t Shocks Liver
and Leaves Ii Weaker Than
Before. Dodson's Liver
Tone is Better to
Take.

Nearly everybody who has
ever tried calomel has found
that it gives only a temporary
relief. For calomel is such a
powerful drug that it shocks
and weakens the liver and
makes 1T less able afterward
to do its duty than in the first
place.
This is one of the reasons
why the Mutual Drug Company
guarantee Dodson's Liver Tone
To take the place of calomel.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pure
vegetable liver tonic that will
cure constipation quickly and
gently, without any danger Of
bad after-eirects. 1t is guaran.
tecd to do this with a guarantee
that is simple and fair. If you
buy a bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone for yourself or your chill
dren, and do not find that it
perfectly takes the place of cal
ome!, then return to the store
where you bought it and get
your money back with smile.

Battle History Being Made.

London, August 3l.-Only
bulletins of Napoleonic brevity
have come in the last twenty
four hours from all the far
spread battle lines.
History is being made on
three great fields of action
along 25O miles of French from
tier, on two hundred miles of
the Austria Hungarian border
and through n wide area of
Eastern Prussia.
Silence has covered Austria's
war with Servia for several
days, but that has becomu a
minor detail of the death strug
gle of the European powers.
The Russian front is the scene
OF events of the greatest mag
nitude, but between the claims
and counter claims of the bel
ligerents there is such Il vital
difference it is impossible to
form an estimate of which way
the balance swings.
From Northern France the
news appears to follow events
by three or four days. The
French embassy announces
that there has been hard fight
ing on the right wing of its
Northern army near Mezicres
since Friday and also that the
German forces are making
progress in the La Fere dis
trict, which apparently means
that the French left wing has
retired somewhat farther, but
it is not revealed how near the
Germans have approached to
La Fere fortress.
