Points South To Take Up
Trail-No Americans Hurt

into the Businesses of Santa Clara
canyon, entering it by the east mouth.

Chihuahua have abandoned the chase
of the Fox of the Sierras." In the
meantime new troops from Monterey
and other points south are being
rushed north to take up the trail of
the bandits. General Trevino, Car
rama commander at Chihuahua City,
fears to use the men recruited from
northern Mexico against Villa, as they
invariably desert to him at the first
opportunity.
At Mercy Of Bandit.
Military men here do not underesti-
mate the importance of Villas attack
on Chihuahua City, and declare that
all northern Mexico is now at the
mercy of the bandit leader.
They point out that the city is the
strongest military fortress in the
north and that it was defended by
heavy artillery and garrison of 1000
men.
Despite this strength, Villa, after
openly boasting he would attack the
city Independence day, made good his
threat, entered the town, released pris-
ammunition and supplies and taking
with him more than thousand de.
serters from the Carranza garrison.
