DESPERATE BATTLE KEPT UP
ALL DAY WITH LIST OF DEAD

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Presidio, Tex, Jan. 2.-The north
ern division OF the Mexican federal
army at Ojinaga, Mexico, with its
eleven generals, other officers and
about 1000 soldiers, after a merciless
three days attack by General Ortega's
5000 rebels, began fleeing in disorder
across the river into the United
States.
Several hundred aimed stragglers
crossed, and about 1,500 are now clus-
tered on the Mexican bank of the Rio
Grande.
The ending of the Ojinaga battle, at
tended by the most horrifying seen
of dead and wounded soldiers wit
messed on the border in the present rev.
olution, was declared to have in store
only one possible result. the momen-
tarily-expected flight of the whole fed
eral army to American soil.
With a line Of struggling wounded
at the border to indicate the extent OF
the carnage, and deserters already ap-
pearinS in numbers, Major M. n. Nc
Nance, commanding the border pa
troll, made every plan in anticipation
of the flight.
Less than 500 cavalrymen, mostly
of the Fifteenth cavalry, form the pa
troll here, but they are deemed by Off
cials sufficient to handle the situation.
81 expect at any time during the
fight that the greater part of the fed
eral army. possibly 1000 or 5000, may
be forced across the river. ! have made
dispositions to disarm and hold them,
if this takes place. was the message
which Major McNamee sent out.
Scores of uninjured federal desert
ers came to the river and, in defiance
of the American patrol, crossed; with
their arms. Ali these were disarmed
and forced lack to the Mexican side.
More than 200 rifles, other arms and
ammunition thus were taken from the
fugitives.
1t was impossible to learn accur-
ately the number of dead. Many were
believed to have died through lack of
medical attention, as neither federals
nor rebels are equipped with any field
hospital service and the Red Cross of
ficials on this side were not permitted
to ford the river-even under a Red
Cross flag.

will be made by the chairman of the
boards of the several counties telling
of the work of 1913. This plan is be-
ing adopted in order to bring before
the people of the state exact reports
as to the progress made in road con-
struction in the last year.
Another special feature of the Colo
RADIO Springs convention will be an ei-
hibit of road making machinery.
The Colorado Springs committee, in
charge of the convention. has ar
ranged to have the sessions held in
the ball room of the Antlers hotel.
Over 500 people can easily be seated
in this room, and the surroundings
are specially adapted for committee
meetings, display of exhibits, etc.
Owing to the interest manifested in
all parts of the state in connection
with the proposed initiation of legis-
lation which will insure sufficient
funds to carry out as planned the con-
struction of a statewide system OF
highways, the attendance at the con
vention promises to be unusually
large as well as representative.
