AMERICANS KILLED
IN AN ENGAGEMENT
WITH VILLAS MEN
Troops Under Colonel Dodd
Surprised the Villa Band in
Center of Sierra MadreS

Field Headquarters, April 20.
Via Columbus, N. M.-Two
Americans were killed and three
Wounded in an engagement be-
liWeen calvarymen under Colonel
podd and 200 Villa bandits at
II omachio, in the center of the
Sierra Madres, in western Chi
Ehuahua, April p, according to an
official report reaching here to-
day!
The Villa command, under our
chiefs, AGA, Cervantes, Domin-
guez and Rios, was surprised in
the late afternoon and routed. At
ter the battle the Americans
found six dead Mexicans and
nineteen wounded, while guam
t1ty of horses, arms and equip
Mlent was captured.
Reports received here made no
mention of Villa himself being
with the band and belief was firm
here that Villa was not with the
command engaged.
The Villa bandits were encamp-
ed in a jagged rocky canyon
when they caught sight of the
American column. Through the
mountain pass the two commands
struggled, the Villa bandits drop
ping all cumbersome equipment
in a2precipitate fight.
Once during the figh the Villa
forces received reinforcements
and attempted vainly to make a
stand against the Americans.
Coi6nei Dodd pursued the Villa
bandits toward Minaca, his base,
where he is now reported to be
awaiting SUPPLIES. Colonel Dodd
was officially commended for the
promptness shown by his small
out-numbered force.
Other reports reaching here told
of bitter feeling expressed to-
ward Americans by natives of the
district in which the engagement
occurred.

There are many who have
said they do not care for lect-

true about the lectures being
giiRYen here this week during
chs1tanqna. Not a person leaves
ard the attention is excellent.
Probably it was the word lecture
they were afraid of as the talks
given have been enjoyed by
everyone without an exception.

but the one tomorrow by DR.. j.

crowd. His reputation as an

gram was half hour with the
Russian musicians. Mr.. and Mrs

gave some splend numbers, each
one being heartily applauded.

The lecture in the evening was
by j.. F. Clark. He spoke on
the different kinds of fools there
are in the world and he hit
them all, not only the ones
we ID call fools but others whom
before have been classed under
another head. 1t was a splendid
lecture. Even though a person
could not agree with all he said,
there was enough besides to
make it above the average. talk
