ONE ARREST IN

As sequel to mysterious assault
late Saturday night at Verde store,
miles southeast of Holtville, in
which an employe of the store named
Potts was struck with a charge of
shot, officers arrested Antonio Agun-
des. Mexican, at Holtville today. He
is said by officers to possess informa-
tion which may lead to the unraveling
of the mystery.
According to reports from the sher-
ifs office, Potts, shortly before clos
ing the store Saturday night, walked
to the telephone in the rear of the
store. His assailant, who apparently
stood at the front of the store at that
time, trained a shotgun upon the clerk
and fired.
The load of shot crashed through
the glass of window in the front
of the store and, according to a re-
of the leaden pellets lodged in Potts
face and back.
The wounded man dashed out of
the back door Immediately after the
shot was fired, but before he had
reached the front of the building his
assailant had rushed INTO the store.

fled.
Deputy sheriffs unearthed facts
which led to the arrest of Agundes.
The wounded man is said to be in
critical condition.

Conflicting Reports

OF THE RESULT OF THE FIGHT
ING OF THE LAST FEW DAYS,

ITY OF COUNTER REPORTS,
EACH CLAIMING THAT THE

THAT NEITHER SIDE HAS YET
WON THE MASTERY.
FL Paso, Tex, April 12.-Fighting
was resumed to the south of Irapuato,
when General Villa, with his entire
southern army, began an attack on
General Obregons position at Celaya.
Aid asked by Villa of zapata did
not arrive and the northern leader
decided to attempt without assistance
the effort to retrieve his losses in the
4 days of fighting around lrapuato
Villa had expected Zapata to send
strong force from Mexico City to
attack Obregon from the rear and pos
sibly to cut him off from his base at
Queretaro. Tonight's advices say Ia
pata declined to send aid because he
fears an attack on Mexico City and
wishes to conserve his strength there.
General Villa sent word to his
Juarez officials that General Obregon
has commenced a retreat from Celaya
to Queretaro and that he already has
sent all of his wounded to that city,
which is some distance to the south
of Celaya.
After a days rest, during which
Villa gathered up such of his wound
ed as had not been sent to the north
and burned the decomposing bodies of
his dead, the Villa army began moving
from lraquato to resume the former
position at Guaje, from which the
general movement upon Celaya later
was made. OF the battle no deals
have been sent north by Villa. and
the Carranza officials in Juarez also
are without details.
Zapata's refusal to send aid to Vii
la has been distinct disappointment
TO Villa army men in Juarez, as Vii
Ia had been counting ON Zapata for
a counter attack from the south Re-
sentiment is shown in Villa messages
to friends over Zapata's action, and
the old quarrel between the two lead
ers appears to have been renewed.
Villas claim that Obregon has COM
menced retreat to Queretaro is moi
borne out in early advices received at
the Carranza consulate from the Car
rama general. His advices were that
Villa was completely cut off from the
north and his army demoralized.
