VILLA TOATTACK j. 81.
GEN. FUNSTON ON WAY TO TAKE
COMMAND OF TROOPS AT
DOUGLAS, ARlZ.
BATTLE ON AT Aqua PRIETA
American Is Wounded by Stray Bullet
Fired During Fight on Border-u. s.
Custom House Hit by Mexicans-
Refugees Flee Across the Line.

Washington, Nov. 3.-General Fun
ston is rushing to take command Of
the United States forces assembled
at Douglas, Ariz.
Information reached the government
on Monday that General Villa is pre-
pairing to attack the American troops
at that point.
General Funston is authorized to
protect American property and resist
Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 3.-The battle
of Aqua Prieta began at 1877 o'clock
Monday afternoon, when the guns Of
the garrison at Aqua Prieta opened
upon the rapidly advancing Villa
forces. Villa has 10000 men and GEN
eral Gales has 1000.
Bullets soon began to fly across the
United States line into Douglas.
L. F. Taylor, an American, was
shot through the back by machine
gun bullet at the United States GUS
tom house. The machine guns were
peppering the United States custom
house at the time.
The machine gun fire on the custom
house began at $40. At least thirty
bullets sped among a throng of sol
diers and Mexican woman refugees
who were passing toward the concen-
tration camp on the American side.
Five minutes later a score or more
bullets flew by American soldiers. The
Americans took cover in their
trenches, taking the Mexican women
and children with them.
When the Carranza garrison opened
fire the Villa gunners returned shot
for shot, aiming apparently at the
southern salient of the Aqua Prieta
defenses.
The Villa shells began to burst in
Aqua Prieta shortly before two o'clock.
A dozen houses on the west side or
the town went to dust, and number
were killed and wounded
Refugees Immediately began pour
ing over the American line.
