The sixth train bearing wounded
from the front arrived today and more
trainloads were reported as having
passed Jiminez and Santa Rosalia On
the way north. The fact that 700 dis

to the belief that an equal number of
wounded are either at the front or en-
route north. and an estimate OF 600
dead would make the rebel losses about
1000 fighting strength.
Every train that came with wounded
has been sent south with medical sup
plies. According to their own claims,
the Villa forces still have more than
