REBEL FOLLOWERS
AGAIN CONCERNED
OVER FATE OF ARMY
No Word Received From General
Villa Today to Relieve
Anxiety
By Associated Press

Chihuahua, Mexico, March 30.-For
seven days Francisco Villa. military
leader of the Constitutionalist revo-
luton, has waged his battle against
Torreon. For six days the fight has
been bitterest and the loss of life the
heaviest in the recent history of Mex
leo, judging from the meager press
dispatches received from the front
and the stories of slaughter told o-day
by many of the 5SS wounded veterans
of Torreon who are interned in hos
pitals here.
Constitutionalist sympathizers and
rebel officers in Chihuahua again have
become anxious as to the fate of their
military leader and the remnants of
the $4,000 men who marched to Tor
reon with him to engage in the revo-
lution's first decisive battle. No word
from Villa came early to-day to re.
lieve the anxiety which obtained
throughout Chihuahua. Reports that
heavy reinforcements were Fastening
to relieve General Refugio Velasco,
the FEDERAL commander at Torreon,
who has made such a resourceful re-
sistance against the rebels, were re-
cefved here with misgivings. But it is
the ract that no news of General
Villas progress has been bad for many
hour that Is responsible for the great
set anxiety as to his fate.
Army officers here fear that Villa
and his army are in a difficult and
perhaps dangerous position. The
many days of almost constant aggres-
sivo warfare at Gomez Palacio and
within the city of Torreon. it is
thought, have exhausted both men
and supplies

WIN. ROCKEFELLER
GETS LAM0RA LAND
AND OLD FEUD ENDS
Property in Adirondacks Has Been
in Dispute For Twenty
Two Years
By Associated Press

Malone, N. Y, March 30.-Word
has been received here that the cele-
brated observation-disclosures feud has
Lamora in selling the cabin and
grounds left him by his father, a
hunter and trapper, who refused to
sell his property to make up portion
or William Rockefeller's vast Adiron-
dack's game preserve.
1t was in 1892 that William Rookie
feller set out to acquire the game pre-
serve. He bought $1,000 acres around
the town of Brandon, but could not
secure Lamora's cabin and clearing
which stood in the way Out of this
arose a legal battle between the oil
magnates agents and the old trapper.
1t was expensive work for Lamora,
but the old trapper's friends and
neighbors sympathized with him and
came to his aid financially.
Lamora was arrested for trespass-
ing, having ignored the 5000 signs
forbidding this, posted on the pre-
serve. But twice he defeated the
Rockefeller agents in the courts by
showing that the fish in the Rookie
teller streams were supplied by the
State hatchery and that the State law
forbids the setting aside of such wa
ters as part of any private estate
On the third occasion when the
agents got Lamora into court it was a
CIVIL suit for damages. 1t went through
several courts, finally reaching the
Court of Appeals which favored
Rockefeller. The damages awarded
were only Is cents, but $500 in costs
was assessed against the old trapper.
This was staggering blow and the
loss of the cabin was threatened for
a time. Lamora's friends, however,
proved loyal and dubbed together
successfully to raise the sum.
For the remainder of the old man. 8
life time the Rockefeller agents rec
ognized as useless any attempt to get
him to SELL After he died his son, to
whom the property fell, assumed the
same attitude as his father for a time.
but he finally has been induced to
sell.
