 The American troopers arrived just Tn time to catch this retreat in full swing and to shoot down many horses and men, but not quickly enough to stop the escape of the bulk of Villas command Turning into the pass where the Villistas had headed northeast the Americans pursued them for five hours. Then the ground grew so
 rough in many places that flight and
 pursuit alike were very slow. The
 men estimated that in the running

Vets and Drys Divide

CHICAGO, April 4.-lmpOrtant gains were won by both the vets and drys tonight in today's local option elec- tion. Majorities were not large in any case.
 Waukgegan voted to OuSt saloons while Bloomington and Lockport af- ter two years of prohibition voted for the return of saloons. Nearly all the other towns in which local option elections were held remained either wet or dry as they had been before The largest city in this class was Rock Island.
 The voting dry of Moline was a clear victory for the women. as men to the number of 3,65S voted for sa- looms, while 3.24O women voted against liquor selling. Only. 1874 women voted for saloons as against 2,4S( men.
 A town that reversed the action oi buaue, where most of the female voters favored the wet side.
 Democrats scored heavily in today aldermanic elections in the B wards of the city.
 year ago the democrats carried but seven wards and William H Thompson republican. was elected mayor by 147,477 majority.
 Today the democrats carried 2l yards, the socialists one and repub- licans but 13.
 There are 35 hOldover aldermen and with the line up revised to date the democrats came within four wards ol wrestling control of the city counci from their rivals.
 Of the republicans elected onl, three bore the Thompson label. Tn. others belonged to the anti -Thompso, faction in the city hall.
 Issues involved were local or parei, political. Involved was Mayor Thomp sons ambition to succeed Roy 0. Yves as republican national committeeman The election for committeeman vii be held next Tuesday.
