DR.. S. H. Slower. an old time Leon
boy, now a leading physician at
Northfield, Mimi, was visiting with
boyhood friends in Leon Monday, be-
ing enroute home from a short visit
with his mother, Mrs. j. H. otover,
at Pleasanton, having come to Pleas
anton from Kansas City, where he
attended the national convention of
the A. o. A. He told us he heard
Dr.. o. L. Butcher, of Newark, N. j.,
who recently visited at the home of
his father-in-law, Jas. G. Springer, III
this city, make one of the addresses
before the convention, and that he is
one of the biggest and best special
lists in the Osteopathic profession.
Or. Slower also said for us to advise
all our readers to attend the Leon
Chautauqua. They recently had the
same program at Mortified that we
are to have in Leon with the excep-
ton that they did not have Helen
Keller, and that it was by far the
best Chautauqua program they had
ever had in Mortified.

Charley Hodges, of Weldon, was
wandering around on the streets of
Leon last Friday afternoon looking
pretty lonesome. Upon inquiry we
learned that Charley had been per-
sraded to drive the lady officers of
the Weldon Aid Society down to Leon
that day for the purpose of inspecting
new electric light fixtures for the
church and parsonage. He had the
president, secretary and treasurer
with him, but the ladies disappeared
soon after reaching town, and after
diligent inquiry Charles learned they
had been seen going into the Idle
Hour theatre as quick as his back
was turned, their mission to Leon
evidently having been forgotten for
the time being at least. 1t was late
in the evening before Charley got
them rounded up ready to start for
home.

Western Newspaper Union News Service

FL Paso Tex, March 22-The forces
CT Col. Cano were engaged in battle at
4:30 Monday afternoon with bandits
led by Villa, in Numiquipa. according
TO a dispatch received by Gen. Gavira.
Carranza commandant at Juarez.
The result of the fighting was not
decided at the time of the receipt Of
the dispatch. Namiquipa is in the dis
trict of Guerrero, state of Chihuahua.
Col. Cano is in command of force
of 900 cavalry and came in contact
two days ago at El Vale with Villistas
who fled without giving battle. A dis
patch from. San Antonio says Gen.
Funston announced the positions of
three columns of the eXpeditionary
force AS follows: The first moving
southwark from Casas Grandes toward
Babricora: the second moving south
east towards FL Vale, and the third
towards Carmen.
Villa was reported to have been de-
feated by CarranZa troops at Cruces
and to he on his way north towards
FL Vale.
A feature of the gravest importance
was injected into the border situation
by substantial confirmation Of the nu-
merous reports received last week
that the Carranzistas not only we're
failing to cooperate with the Ameri-
can troops but In certain instances at
least actually were Withdrawing from
the field of operations The Associ-
ated Press learned on unquestionable
authority that the troops of the de
facto government which had been sta
toned at Casas Grandes have been
Juarez. From the same source it was
learned that at least one detachment
Of Carranza troops had refused to
fight Villa and had withdrawn on the
bandits approach. This detachment
withdrew on receipt Of message that
lie was warning not on Mexicans but
the enemies OF Mexicans.
The extraordinary rapidity with
which the American cavalry pushed
into Mexico gave rise to high hopes
that the unexpected had happened and
the notorious bandit was cornered
This seemed inevitable, If the Carran-
sa soldiers did their part, and if the
account of the strength of their field
forces was correct. Villa, cut off from
The north by the forward sweep of the
American columns, from the west by
the Sierra Madres barring the ap-
proachcs to the state of Sonora, was
supposed to he equally barred from
east and south by powerful Carranza
forces.
The reason for the Carranza troops
moving to the border remains unev-
planned. 1t is impossible even to make
fair estimate of the number of men
under Gen. Gnvira at Juarez. The
large staff at his headquarters and the
fact that new troops are arriving daily
Indicate that his force is large one
The most conservative estimate places
it at 5000, and calculations range from
that point upward to 5000.
Columbus, N. M.-Six biplanes If
the First Aero squadron. under the
command Of Capt Foulois, arrived
Monday to scout in the mountains for
Villa. A large body of American cav
airy left Columbus Monday
