y Villa chose to stand when he
saw that it was to be a running
fight unless he did so. Besides
the Mexicans by this time had
augumented their forces until
they must have numbered at least
fifteen hundred men. As the ad-
vance guard of the Americans
came in touch with the bandits
they were met with a heavy dis
charge that killed one private,
whose name as not yet been re-
ported, and wounded Capt. Geo.

VILLA DRAWS OFF, MEN
The fighting here did not last
long, and Villa began to draw off
his men, leaving a rear-guard
screen to hold the Americans in
check. while his main body NOV
led further south and west. 1t is
believed, however, that he lost
heavily in proportion to the num-
bers engaged, for the Americans
estimate that at least seventy
fve Mexicans were killed in the
fight south of the border, and two
hundred wounded.

Mexico, and twice more brought
them to a halt and forced them

In the mean time Colonel Slo-

after clearing Columbus of the
bandits, Colonel Slocum had sent
to one of the senators from Mex

VILLA LEADS RAIDERS
The Meldcan raiders are led
by Pancho Villa in person, whose
presence on the border was
known for the past several days.
He was believed to be endeavor-

line into the United States on a
