east and the west Sides b
General Funston, who arrived In the
morning to take % command of the
United States troops, closed the Amer
lean custom house and ordered all civ
silians and soldiers to leave localities

3 Harry Jones, private in Company
c.. Eleventh infantry, died OF the
wounds inflicted by . bullet from the
Aqua Prieta battle lines. Jones was
shot in the stomach as he stood guard
over an army supply wagon several
hundred yards from; the boundary. &
Seven Americana stoVnded.
Nine persons, seven of them Ameri-
cans, have been wounded by the rain
Of bullets into Douglas and on the
trenches occupied by United States
soldiers. ~
Significant action was taken by the
American troops during the day.
Forces in trenches along the border
were heavily REINFORCED and new
trenches manned in anticipation of
possible entrance OF Americans into
the fight. ,a q,
The American troops moved back
from the border, were ordered to pack
baggage in the wagon train and each
man was instructed to take individual
rolls, indicating a purpose to, take
drastic action in event Of further
firing upon American territory.
U. s. Sends Warnings.
= American army officers sent two
warnings to General Gales following
the wounding Of two United States
soldiers.
Bullets fell thickly on Seventh
street, in Douglas, where Jones
was wounded. The people of the
neighborhood were panic-stricken.
Women and children remained In
their houses, with bullets pattering ON
the walls and roofs. :.
After several desperate night at
lacks on Aqua Prieta. the Villa forces
withdrew to the eastward. General
Gales wire entanglements proved too
great barrier for the villistas to
penetrate.
Carranza officers in Aqua Prieta
declared that villa left 400 dead and
