VILLA VICTORIOUS
IS NOW IN GOMEZ
ESTABLISHES HEADQUARTERS IN
TOWN AFTER THREE DES-
PERATE SIEGES.
MANY MEN DEAD OF THIRST
The Dead of Federal and Rebel Sides
Are Piled Up In Cities Streets and
Air Filled With Smell of Blood
Wounded Carry stretchers.

Gomez Palacio, Mexico.-Four days
of fighting, including three desperate
assaults by the Rebels were crowned
with success when General Francisco
Villa moved into the city and estao-
tablished his headquarters on that
side of the town looking toward
Thornton and within three miles OF
that goal of the campaign. The hnal
and deciding assault has been deliy-
cred. It was preceded by a lombard
ment, after which the infantry and
cavalry dashed into the streets.
Rifles, machetes, pistols and hand
grenades were used in a hundred diff
ferent encounters.
General Villa does not know his
own loss, except that it was heavy.
The wounded suffered terribly from
thirst and many died for lack OF
water and surgical attention. The
dead Of both sides were piled in the
streets or hudled under adobe houses
or ~corrals, wrecked by Rebel shells.
Veterans say no more furious battle
ever was fought In Mexico.
General Villa did not stop to
mourn his losses, but began prepare
lions to move on to Torreon. He
expects to cooperate with 400 men
under General Herrera, who is under
orders to attack the town from the
East.
The day vas hot and the air reek'
ed with smell Of stale blood. Those
with fresh wounds disdained to de-
sert and many a wounded soldier was
seen among the stretcher bearers. .
Villas first assault took place four
days before. There was comparative
ly a small number of Federals In the
city, and premature reports Of victory
were sent out. Soon, however the
Federals received reinforcements and

lowed the Rebess had received the

THIS TIME GONE FOR GOOD
New Yorker Might Say Goodby to
Watch and the $50 He Had Con-
fidingly Given Up.

In a subway crowd not long ago a
New York mar was touched" for his
watch. The watch was not valuable,
but the New York man wanted 1t
back for sentimental reasons, and In
serted divers advertisements in the pa
pers, offering $50 for the return OF the
watch and mo questions asked"
The dip" who had lifted the
watch saw the advertisement and
concluded to take the $50. He called
on the New York man, handed him
the timepiece and demanded the re-
ward.
The owner Of the watch was only
too happy to give it to him. After ex-
aiming the watch he returned 1t to
his pocket and handed over five $40
bills. The dip" pocketed the money
and departed. There vas little said.
A few minutes later the New York
man reached for his watch
1t was gone.
