OF the Federal trenches have been
taken.

heavy losses when they made a fu-
rious attack on the retreating Fed
erals as they crossed the NaZas River

reon. Trying TO flank General Argu-
medo's troops, the rebels were check
ed by a heavy fire from machine
guns stationed on the south bank OF
the river.
More than 300 rebels were moved
down at this point. The Federals got
across with slight loss.
Heavy smoke could be seen aris-
ing from Torreon this morning. Il

afire there by rebel shells. The Con-
stitutionalists are using an explosive
shell that causes great execution.
Shortly before a. m. to-day ter
rife explosion was heard just to the
northeast OF Torreon. 1t is believed

Children Waging
War On Flowers

From depredations which have
been committed in the last week or
so it is evident that an organized
gang OF children are at work all over
the city stealing flowers and destroy
ing flower beds. Several places
which boast OF particularly fine flow
er beds and rose bushes have been
stripped of all the flowers and the
plants torn up" said local flower
lover today.
Some time Tuesday evening some
Youngsters attacked the flower beds
around the Argyle hotel and succeed
ed in completely destroying all the
flowers and tore up the plants and
roots which were left. Mr.. Smith is
exceedingly displeased and is making
every effort to find the culprits.
Yesterday morning bunch of
small boys stripped all the beautiful
rose bushes in front of the home of
Mrs. S. r. Glessner at the corner of
Fifth and White. These children
were caught and forced to make good
the loss.
Last evening the peony bush in
front of the Geo. Fletcher home at

ped of about two dozen beautiful

Changes of Control Certain.
In either of these events a change
in the control of the Denver & Rio
Grande will be effected and the same
change will occur In the Western
Pacific by virtue of the fact that the
Denver & Rio Grande owns two
thirds OF the Western Pacific stock.
There is a general feeling among
Denver railroad officials that Mis-
souri, Pacific receivership may not
seriously affect the Denver & Rio
Grande. since their relations are es-
tablished principally through a
stock ownership. While it is true
that close traffic agreements exist
between the two systems there is no
reason to believe that these will be
seriously disturbed.

ings OF the next few days will. for
