sengers homeward bound from their
DAVIS work. AS the car approached the
railroad crossing, it stopped and the
conductor ran ahead to see If the
track was clear He signalled the mo-
torman to wait, but apparently the
latter, who is said to have been mex

car ran rapidly down an incline and
onto the railroad tracks. The freight
cars smashed the street car almost to
bits The wreckage was pushed along
a hundred feet, several of the dead
and injured dropping along the street
before the train was brought to a

Outcome in Doubt

AS the firing line is extensive, de-
tailed advices have not reached here
from Gen. Villas headquarters. and
the final outcome of the fighting is
still doubtful
Victory for Villa would mean the
resumption of communication by rail
and wire between Mexico City and
the American bordN, while success
by Gen. Obregon Would divide the
Nilla-Zapata forces and destroy their
communication between the northern
and southern sections of the country.
In many quarters here it is believed
the result of the struggle will have a
hearing on the general political Stu
alton in Mexico, indicating which of
the two major factions is to dominate.
Advices to Department
The state departments advices were
summarized in the following state
ment:
The department IS in receipt of ad-
vices. dated April IS, from San Luis
Potosi stating that heavy fighting
around Celaya favors the Villa forces
which have surrounded Obregon and
two of his subordinate commanders.
The lines extend from Celaya through
Queretaro to La Griega. 1t is estimated
that $1,000 troops are engaged. Obre-
CONS retreat is said TO be cut off at
LaGriega by Generals De Las and Ar
gumedo.
The San Luis Potosi district is in
Villa control"
