Juarez, MeXico-FCur times Fran.
cisco Villa attacked the first line
trenches which defend Chihuahua
City, and each time he was repulsed,
leaving his dead and wounded on the
plains outside the city to the south,
reports to military headquarters re-
ceived by Gen. Gonzales here from
the besieged city said.
At II o'clock (mountain time) the
higl-crowned hats Of the bandits were
seen to the south along the Mexican
Central main line, according to these
| messages. The battle was opened a
| few minutes later with a salvO from
canon on Santa Rosa Hill, the key
to the state capital. The first and
second line trenches, protected by
| barbed wire entanglements, took up
the fighting, and by noon a general
engagement was in progress along the
entire southern line, which continued
through the early afternoon.
At that time the booming of large
calibre guns on Santa Rosa Hill and
| other artillery stationed along the first
| line trenches was so deafening that
it was almost impossible to hear the
| click of the telegraph instruments,

City told the operator in Juarez.

according to the reports received at
the Juarez military headquarters from
Chihuahua City, given out by Carranza
officers.
The bandit leader was said to be
riding horseback, with his crutch
