Bandits Were Surprised While Their
Horses Were Grazing.

San Antonio, Tex, April 4.-More
than 80 of Villas men were killed in a
fight Saturday between detachments
of cavalry and marauding bands at
Aguas Calientes, 20 miles southeast of
Bachinava, according to report from
General Pershing received today.
Colonel Brown, in his report to Cen
eraI Pershing, did not mention the
American losses. Natives coming from
Chihuahua stated that Brown had SUR
prised Villas men about noon, while
their horses were grazing.
These natives also were the authori-
ty for the statement that 80 or 40 OF
Villas men were killed and that the
same number Of horses were captured
Their statements, however, lacked con-
firmation, General Pershing said.
He added that he had not had fur.

After the fight, Colonel Brown and

Jail Well Manaqed.

1t is of very special interest to note
that reports covering matters pertain
ing to Connecticut jails during the
last year show that. while the Wind
ham County Jail received less than 3
per cent. of the prisoners arrested in
Connecticut, the earnings of the pris-
oners confined in this Jail were 20 per
cent. of the earnings of the prisoners
in jails in Connecticut. In other words
the Windham County Jail. as usual
easily made the best financial show
ing of any Of the jails in the state, and
in other ways the Jail was just as sat
isfactorily managed and maintained as
any other. Connecticut Jail. In a
word, the Windham County system
comes nearer to making the prisoner
pay back the amount of expense he
causes the state than does the Jail of
any other county.
