Villas Dead in Large Numbers
Are Scattered over Desert
Outside the Garrison.
GARRISON LOSS is SMALL.
Thousands Of Refugees Con-
centrated at a Camp at a
Suburb Of Douglas.
GOV. .. up,,

DOUGLAS, Ariz.. Nov. AFTER four
desperate attacks on Aqua Prieta,
which kept the Carranza defense blaz-
ing practically all night with flashing
guns and bursting shells, General
Francisco Villa drew OFF shortly after
daylight today. At that time eight
persons were on the American side of
the boundary.
Losses Of the .Carranza garrison
were reported by General Gales as
torty-fve killed and .seventy-five
wounded, although unofficial reports
stated his casualties were $50. Villa
dead and wounded in large numbers
were scattered over the desert outside
the barbed wire entanglements which
surround the Mexican town.
The battle continued practically
without intermission from yesterday
afternoon at 1880 o'clock until 6:45
this morning. American army officers
who with their men we're in the
trenches facing the border all night
pronounced the firing the most violent
they had ever heard.
Villa opened on the western trench
es on Aqua Prieta with every gun
available in support Of final rash
by his Yayui Indians about O'Clock.
Gales replied with every weapon in
Nhis garrison.
A Douglas trembled under the vibra-
tlon OF the continuous crashes and
conclusion. Bullets from the Mexi-
can side rained upon the American
town. Scores Of women and children
covered behind brick or adobe walls.
The United Customs house, which was
fired on by Villa machine gun pla-
toon yesterday, when Louis S. Taylor
was shot in the back, was again pep
pered by Mexican bullets.
The American trenches were plenti-
fully sprinkled with bullets also.
Private Harry Jones, Company G,
18th infantry, was hit In the stomach
and probably fatally wounder while
guarding company's wagon near the
army field hospital.
Private James, Tank, Company d.
] 18th infantry. was struck In the leg.
No move was made by any of the
United States army detachments to
return the fire.
Mines exploded by Gales west Of
Aqua Prieta killed 800 Yaquis. ac-
cording to reports from the Mexican
town.
One Mexican woman refugee
among the throng at the customs
house lost finger by a bullet.
Two thousand three hundred were
concentrated at camp at Pirtleville,
a suburb of Douglas. They were
practically without, water last night.
Villa soldiers although weak from
want OF food and water expressed
grim determination to force their
way into Aqua Prieta no matter at
what cost. In the serious attempts
made last night to break through the
wire entanglements Villa losses on
the east were comparatively small.
Notwithstanding the terrific fire to
which they were subjected.
e Another attempt will be made to
storm Aqua Prieta during the: after
noon, according to Villa officers.
.This time, = said they, I'VE are going
In. We will be in Aqua Prieta by
nightfall.'' General Funston ar
rived at 7:45 o'clock this morning to
j assume command of the American
forces hese.
