Once during fight the Villistas re-

When night came the pursuit became
increasingly difficult because Of the ma.

Colonel Dodd pursued the Villistas
towards 1finaca, where he is now re-;
ported to be waiting supplies.
The nineteen villa wounded taken In
the engagement ana the twenty-five
horses and arms captured were taken

orders as to their disposition. Colonel
Dodd was given much credit here for
y His feat and was commended for the
spromptness shown by his small OUT

Bitter Feeling Against Americana.
Other reports reaching here told OF
bitter feeling expressed toward Amer
leans by natives Of the y district in
which the engagement occurred and OF
their intense partisanship for Villa It
ID assumed that the reinforcements
that the Mexicans received was made

BEST PRICE
FOR COTTON
SINCE WAR
COTTON SOLD ON THE LCCt
MARKET TODAY FOR slXTEE
CENTS UNPRECEDENTED d.
CREE OF PROSPERITY.

Cotton sold higher today in Ard
more than it ever sold before. For a
period of IS years Ardmore has had
a cotton market, but the staple never
brought as high as 16 cents pound
until today when some cotton brought
that price. The cotton was not of an
unusual grade, it is the prevailing
price for such cotton as is marketed
here. Private reports covering the
south have been sent in and these re-
ports carry the message thai the crop
viii Dee exceedingly short this year and
the price began ascending. In leaps
Of forty points at a time cotton has
advanced until it has sold locally for
sixteen cents.
Cotton men who are well acquainted
with prices, state that not since after
the Civil War has cotton brought such
price After the close OF the war
there was a spirited demand for cot
ton and on account Of the condition
of the south the production was very
light Those conditions sent the price
very high at that time, but a lower
level was reached and that lower level
was maintained until in this good
year OF unprecedented democratic pros
perity If cotton could be maintained
at this price for five years, it would
result in bringing a wonderful degree
of prosperity to the south. Every cot
! ton farmer would be able TO own his
/ plantation and also 10 own plenty OF
live stock and improved farm ma
chinery.
