TREVINO DEFEATS
THE VILLA BANDITS
OUTLAW CHEF MAKES THREE
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTACKS ON
CHIHUAHUA CITY.
Was Unable to Advance in Face Of
the Murderous Rain of Bullets,
Losing Many Men When Carranza
Cavalry Make Sortie.

Juarez, MeXico-Three times Fran.
cisco Villa attacked the first line
trenches which defend Chihuahua
City on Thursday, and three times he
was repulsed, leaving his dead and
wounded on the plains outside Of the
city to the south, according to mill
tary dispatches received by General
Francisco Gonzales at military head
quarters here from the besieged city.
Villa is reported by General Con
zales to have at least $500 men, prac'
tically all OF whom are armed and
mounted. He is also believed to have
machine guns, but no heavy artillery.
For this reason twenty or more heavy
field guns of General Trevinos COM
mand were able to rake the advancing
lines of Villa bandits, the message
from the state capital stated. The field
was covered with dead and dying
men, one message stated.
a sortie by Carranza cavalry, sup
ported by artillery, resulted in the
capture of many Villa prisoners, who
were without ammunition and had
gone since morning without food or
water, another message declared.
Carranza officers here are optimis-
tic regarding the outcome of the battle
at Chihuahua City. The only cause of
worry to them is the fact that General
Trevinos ammunition supply for small
arms and machine guns is limited and
it is feared the attack will be pro-
longed by Villa in an effort to exhaust
this ammunition supply However, the
supply of artillery shells is ample, it
is said here, to keep the bandits
away from the city.
