VILLA FIGHTS AND RUNS
Raid Made On Chihuahua-Peniten'-
tiary Taken and Prisoners
Turned Loose.

Chihuahua City, Mexico.-Villa has
succeeded in making his way into the
Sierra de da Silla with his followers,
according to reports from the Carran-
IA cavalry in pursuit. The dispatches
said the bandit chieftain was last seen
in the vicinity of Pablon, west OF here.
Ranchmen say that Jose Ynez Salazar
is accompanying the band on its re-
treat and that Villa has announced
that owing to i'll health he intends
turning over his command to Salazar
temporarily.
Following the discovery that resi-
dents of the city had assisted the Villa
forces in their attack upon the town
by sniping from windows, Gen. Ire
vino issued orders that all civilians
must surrender their arms within "a
hours or face a firing squad. AS a
result, hundreds of arms, ranging from
old muzzle-loaders to modern high
powered rifles, were received at the
Quartet.
Reports that Jose Ynez Salazar,
Mexico's perpetual revolutionist," is
accompanying Villas band on their re-
treat conflict with reports received In
Ell Paso by Andreas Garcia, Mexican
consul.

Commission.

New London, Conn.-The American
troops will stay in Mexico. This decis-
ion has been reached by the American
delegates because of Villas latest dep
relations in Chihuahua. Unless Gen.
Carranza ceases to insist that the bor-
der question be settled Immediately,
it was predicted here that the confer
ence was doomed to failure. The
Mexican delegates are expecting in.
structions from CarranZa which may
prove an ultimatum.
After waiting for two days for more
definite news from Chihuahua, the
American delegates presented their
side. In answer to the claim of the
Mexicans that Carranza was restoring
law and order, alleviating the condi-
ton of the poems and reconstructing
the railroads, the Americans showed
that Mexico is still in most deplor-
able state. In many districts the poor

SOLDIER |NvENTS
HAND GRENADE
RESEMBLES IN SIZE AND SHAPE
AN ORDINARY BIG LEAGUE
BASEBALL.
DEADLY FORM OF WEAPON
VIII Not Explode When Dropped I'm
less Patented Device Has Been
Used-Greatest Invention of
All Deadly Projectiles.

Washington.-With short time
the United States army will have what
is said to be the most deadly hand
grenade of any of the armies OF the
world for use in trench and other close
fighting. 1t is a wonderful instrument
of warfare invented by an American
army officer It is of the shape and
size Of the ordinary "big league" base
ball. It is thrown exactly as a base
ball Is thrown, and can, therefore, be
placed with deadly accuracy"
The most marvellous feature about
the new grenade is that 1t can be
handled with complete safety when
not intended to deal destruction to the
enemy. Unlike the hand grenades now
in use In Europe, it will not explode,
no matter how far 1t drops to the
ground, nor where 1t strikes.
In order to explode the grenade 1t
is thrown from the hand, just like a
baseball, with a curve. much as the
famous spit ball is thrown. Instead
of the bare hands the thrower uses a
small instrument which he holds in
his hand and retains there after the
ball is thrown. The slight twist given
the ball as it leaves the hand causes
this little instrument to set the plung-
er in the grenade so that it explodes
when it reaches its destination.
Army officers believe that the men
of this country, if need be, would de-
velop into the best throwers of hand
granades in the world. 1t is second ma
ture for almost any man raised in the
United States to throw accurately.
