OF BORDER RAID DENIED VILLA
HARASSED BY u. S. TROOPS
REPORT

FL Paso, Tex, March 29.-Another
Mexican border raid and an official
message locating Villa yesterday at
Ell Oso were principal developments
of last "a hours in Mexican situation.
Number of bandits were driven
away from Fabens ranch of G. E.
Kelly, ex-mayor of FL PasO, by 2 small
attachments of Eighth cavalry and
4 Texas rangers. About 100 shots
were exchanged in running fight of
several hours before the Mexicans
escaped across border in the dark
ness. Raiders obtained nothing.
Sheriff PeytOn Edwards, after in
vestigation, announced today that
he was unable to account for reports
of raid on Kelly ranch. Edwards said
ranch was not molested.
Kelly insisted that his foreman, L.
N. Baker, saw bandits in act of rus
ting cattle about dusk yesterday and
summoned troops stationed at near
by Wingo ranch. Kelly said his Mex
lean caretaker was assaulted by the
raiders.
General Gavira of Juarez made
public following message from Gen
eral Francisco Bertani, commander
of Carranza garrison at MADEIRA:
villa is at FL Oso. Believe that
Col. Cano is one of our chiefs closest
to Villa. Both ours and American
forces harTassing Villa constantly"
Latest official advices from Ameri-
can expedition told of Villa in full
flight southwest toward foothills of
Sierras, with American detacbments
in his wake. Mexican residents in
districts where Villa was once an idol
gave his pursuers news of his route
and supplied them with foodstuffs, at
record high prices in American mo-
ney.

Hshed base 12O miles south of Dub
