Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 1.-Gen. Fran
cisco Villa began moving his troops
INTO position Sunday night for an at
lack on Aqua Prieta, Sonora, oppo-
site here, regardless, he personally de-
.lared. of any consequences or effects
from the United States.
"1f necessary, will fight the Unit
ID States army assembled along the
border!" he asserted after hearing for
the first time that the American gov
ernment had given permission for
carranza to transport troops from La
redo and Eagle Pass, Texas, to reen-
force the garrison at Aqua Prieta.
Four of these troop trains arrived
bringing the total fighting men Of the
harrison, commanded by Gen. P. Elias
Gales, to approximately 5000 men.
Villa, according to reliable esti-
mates, has 10000 soldiers. He claims
to have $4,000 The battle may be-
gin at any moment.
That it will be quickly as possible
Is the general opinion here based on
the condition of his men, thousands of
whom we're thirsty, in positions miles
from water and all with scant sup
plies of food. according to Villas own
testimony and reports of three Mexi-
can ranchers who arrived across the
border stripped of everything they
possessed.
The border line was closed last
night but arrangements were made by
United States immigration authorities
to admit under guard thousands of
more or less destitute refugees from
Aqua Prieta whose number was aug
mented by women and children camp
followers, with the Carranza contin-
gents arriving ever American terri
tory from Laredo.
Camp fires were visible both from
Douglas and from the east trenches
of the Gales stronghold, which were
filled with riflemen, machine gun ap-
orators and gunners manning field
pieces.
Villa himself was with his cavalry,
forming a flank guard which passed
along the border.
Aqua Prieta will be mine," he as
serted. Americans or no Americans"
Villa was almost in sight of the Mexi-
can town at the time. Pointing his
finger toward 1t he added, There Is
food and rest for our men. We may
have to fight the whole American
army If necessary, but. no matter; 1t
will be ours"

for his job. And l asked him waat
they fired him for, and he said he
didn't know.

"G0oD NEWS.

THE Fool-Killer this month
adds about 5000 more names to
it's list by taking over the sub
scription list Of "Good News,
the religious paper of which my
wife (Mrs. Cora Pearson) was ed
itor. Mrs. Pearson's health has
been very poor for several years,
and along last winter her suffer
ings became so severe and her
condition so serious that she was
compelled to give up her little pa
per. She gave it up very reluc-
tantly, as it had been a comfort
to her and had brought her many
friends.
It was Mrs. Pearson s hope that
Good News could be taken up by
someone else and continued, but
after waiting several months this
hope seems rather far from real-
zation, and so it seems the next
best thing to do is to combine the
Good News list with the Fool Kill
er's list and FILL out the subscrip-
tions with this paper.
This, then will serve as an ex-
PLANTATION to all Good News sub
scribers who have been wonder
ing why they didn't get their pa
per. The Fool-Killer is an entire
ly different sort Of paper from
Good News, but in it's somewhat
rough manner it aims to tell the
truth and do good. I hope the
Good News subscribers will like
The Fool-Killer well enough to
show it to their friends and get up
clubs.
At present Mrs. Pearson is in
the hands of an experienced train
ed nurse who is doing everything
for her that can be done, and we
are all hoping that she may yet
regain at least a reasonable meas
ure of health.
