ATTEMPT TO KILL
GEN. PERSHING
Pursuit Of Villa at a Standstill
Because of the Fear of Arm
ed Opposition by Car
ranzaists.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 1S.-The
American troops in southern Chi
hauhau have retreated almost 80
miles northward, owing to evil
denccs of increased hostility on
the part Of the MeXicans and lack
OF supplies.
An attempt to assassinate Gen.
Pershmg was made by snipers
near Providencia while he and his
escort and a small body of caval-
ry. were on their way back to the
base at Namiqllipa from the front.
Bullets SUDDENLY Nbegan to spat-
ter around Gen. Pcrshing, as the
Americans arrived at \the out
skirts of the village.
The Americans dismounted in
stantly and returned the fire.
Most of the snipers We're silenced.
Those who continued to- fire were
driven from their adobe shelters
by soldiers who crept upon them
and elected them by.a flank fire.
The Americans are reported to
have taken several prisoners
without suffering any loss from
killed or wounded, The detach-
ment then continued its north
ward journey.
General Pershing now is back
at his headquarters and making
plans for meeting the critical sit
uation which has arisen.
The pursuit of Villa is at a
standstill because of the unpro-
voked attack upon the American
troops at Parral by Carranzistas.
At, Gen. Pershing's S headquar-
ters there was no intimation of
when it would be resumed, while
there We're many indications that
armed resistance would be offer
ed by de facto troops.
Carranza soldiers apparently
have taken the first chiefs de-
mand for withdrawal of the Unit
ed States troops as their cue for
ceasing to cooperate in the hunt
for Villa. While not openly hos
tile, they at least are not doing
to aid the Americans.
American officers are very
,keptical about the report from
Mexico that Villa had died as
, result of wounds received in
/ fight with Carranza troops
lbout a week ago. 1t is feared
hat the report is inspired by
Villa sympathizers so that the |.
). troops will be recalled from
Mexico.

Judge Arba S. Van Valken-
burgh of the United States Dis
trict Court, who is acting extra

Crook, prosecuting attorney of

also representing the county, and
representatives of the holders Of

of the bonds were paid, leaving

Judgments were taken and these,
with interest, amount to sixteen
times the size of the initial bond
issue.
1t is understood between the
parties that Judge Van Valken-
burgh will subhit sum as basis
for a settlement. What this sum
will be was not discussed at yes
terday's s conference.
