Americans Flocked Across the
Border, Panic Stricken at
Atrocities of Villista
Bandits.
MANY HAVE ESCAPED
Only Four Remain In Chihuahua and

Ell PASO, Texas, Nov. 7.-Only
four Americans remain in Chihuahua
City today. From every part Of the
state Americans and other foreigners
are flocldng to the border, panic
stricken by the atrocities OF the VII
lista bandits. The entire portion of
Chihuahua state west and south of
the capital Is dominated and over
run by villa followers. Mining COM
panies with offices here, today were
sending messages to their few re-
manning employees to flee from Mex
leo Immediately. Anxiety for the
safety Of the ten Americans in Par
raj was lessened by additional re-
ports from refugees that It was be-
lieved they started for the border
in the Big Bend district of Texas.
Alarmed by reports Of tho impend-
ing evacuation Of Chihuahua capital
by General Trevino, the foreign con-
suls in that city waited upon him in
a body to ascertain the facts. The
defacto commander assured them he
had no intention of abandoning the
city, but on the contrary was prepar
ing for fight. Despite this assur'
ance, every foreigner who can reach
the railway is coming to Juarez.
From many sources United States
government officials have obtained
reports that Villas forces now mum.

south Chihuahua state.
Official admission of tho evacua-
ton Of Parral by General Herrera's.

in a bulletin issued at Chihuahua
City in which it was stated that Her
rera was concentrating his troops
near Escalon to meet other generals.
City Not Taken.
Ell PASO, Texas Nov. 7-RefIgees
from Chihuahua City arriving here
last night say there were no new IL
dications when they left that the city
was about to be evacuated by Gen
eral Treviho with his Carranzistti
forces. Trevino wired the CaTan-
zista authorities at Juarez, de1yfng
any intention of evacuating Chihua-
hua capital and declaring there was
no truth in the story that the artli'
lery had been taken down from Santa
Rosa hill back of the city.
II Is believed here that rumors of
evacuation of Chihuahua City by de-
facto forces have been spread by
mining men anxious for Intervention.

gun to soar!
New Workers purposing the purchase of murder
find it 400 per cent more expensive today than three
years ago!

testimony in the first phase Of the Baff murder ease
a case more sensational III its showing up of murder
by contract than was the Becker case. although it
has attracted hardly a tenth of the public interest
aroused by the police lieutenants trial
Exactly $4,000 is what it cost supposedly re-
spectacle business men to buy the assassination
about year ago, of their business rival Baret
Baff, wealthy poultry dealer whose operations

But as this job was badly
