WITH THE BANDITS

San Geronimo, Chihuahua, via aero
plane to Coionia Dublan and wireless

dred American cavalrymen under Col
onel w. c. Brown, Tenth cavalry, de-
feated an equal force of villistas In the
second engagement Of the campaign at
Aguas CalienteB. so miles north OF
Guerrero. on April /. This report was
made to General Pershing yesterday by
two Mexican ranchmen, who said that
the Mexican forces lost 80 men and 40
horses, while the Americans suffered
no casualties.
Villa was not with the band, accord
ing to the ranehmen, who asserted that
the American troops believed at first
they had encountered the bandit chief
tain. An investigation showed that he
had not been with the detachment.
In Tortuous Country.
For hours the American cavalrymen
followed Manuel Lopez. one Of Villas
lieutenants. and his bandits through
tortuous winding canyons and almost
impossible trails of the mountains.
Believing that they had eluded their
pursuers the bandits relaxed their
vigilance and before they realized It
they were confronted by the troops
of the Tenth cavalry. General Per-
shing's old regiment. which had been
stationed near the town to intercept
stray bands attempting to make their
escape.
Only the most nleager details Of the
ensuing engagement were brought here
by the Mexican fanchmen, but in many
respects it resembled that Of a week
ago at Guerrero. Immediately the
bandits realized the presence OF Amer
lean troops they began a hurried, dis
ofganized flight from their camp, some
seizing their ponies and others trying
to make their escape afoot. They went
singly and tn small parties. all firing
at the American troops as they fled.
None took time to aim, the ranehman
said. and as result none of the bull
lets found a khald-clad mark
Fleeing In Scattered Bands.
OFFICERS here are inclined to believe
that II 80 bandits were killed in the
running fight. that at least as many
more were wounded. Il was asserted
also that because of the nature Of the
engagement 1t is probable that some
equipment supplies and prisoners may
have been captured. The ranehmen
told General Pershing that the willis
tas were fleeing in scattered bands or
three to five men before the negro
cavalrymen.
Reports reaching here indicated that
the force encountered by the American
cavairymen was the largest detachment

MOSCOW BOYS LOSE

Players by Score Of to 1-DOttie
Vale Makes Good Play

Cartoons Athletic Girls, with the
assistance of four men, two of whom
took the places of girl players who
were unable to take part, defeated a
picked team of Moscow ball players
yesterday afternoon at the fair
grounds by a score of to 1. The
game was close from the start when
the girls took three runs in the first
two innings from Tom Sletto, who was
On the mound for Moscow. Harry Will
son was the Moscow backstop.
Moscow had better luck in the fifth
inning when one lonely run was tai
lied. Jake Gettz was substituted on
the mound for Sletto, and succeeded in
holding the girls to their original
score.
A good chance to tie the score was
spoiled in the ninth inning when with
two Moscow men coming in for a cou
pie of scores, Dottie Vale, right fielder
for the visitors, picked off a long fly
and whipped it to second making
double play before the boys could fig
ure out what had happened. Miss
Vale was hit with a pitched ball in the
course of the game, and it was thought
for a time that she would have to re-
tire from the field.
The Athletic Girls will play the
Moscow team again tonight at 615 at

report recommendations at the De
cember meeting of the board.
The above action was taken follow
ing a talk by H. f. Surman, Moline,
division engineer OF the state high
way commission. who explained to the
members three maps which had been
prepared by the commission showing
the various state aid roads OF the
county and the estimated cost OF the
construction of both concrete ana
gravel roads. At the last meeting the
supervisors authorized the eXpendl-
ture of $500 for a traffic survey and
maps which would give important
data relative to the cost of building
of various types of road in this county.
Mr.. Surman said there were 1877
miles Of state aid road in the county
and that the maps were merely pre-
scented for suggestions as 10 the roads
to be improved and that the board was
at liberty TO make any changes de-
sired in designating the highways to
be improved.
Gravel Most Expensive.
Il believe that gravel is the most
expensive material TO be purchased
continued Mr.. Surman 1T is the heavy
maintenance cost which makes this
kind Of road undesirable. 1t has been
tried at Tricks hill. where the road
has had TO be continually worked ana
dragged to keep it in any kind OF con-
dition.
Il think the board should not be too
hasty in taking action on the question
of the kind of roads to be built IN
Rock Island county. ! suggest that a
committee be appointed to investigate
the whole matter and ascertain II pos
sible the public sentiment relative 10
the best plan to pay for the roads The
main issue. of course. is to build the
roads II the people favor tax levy,
then that plan should be adopted. If
the bond issue would carry, then that
plan should he put on the ballot. Per
sonally. believe the bond issue is the
most feasible way 10 construct roads,
but IL the board members are opposed
TO paving interest on bonds. then the
tax levy should be voted. although /
