WOMEN THREW STONES
That's What Started American-Mexi-
can Fight at Parral.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 19.-Mexican
women were responsible for the attack
on American troops at Parral. This
was the assertion of A G. Urguhart

Tuesday night from Parra1
1T was the women who were re-
sponsible for the trouble, I Think
said Mr.. Urguhart. They started
throwing stones at the Americans
then the real trouble began. After a
time a shot was fired and an Ameri-
can fell, mortally wounded. Then the
firing was returned as the Americans
rtreated from the storm of stones and
bullets. Ant-American feeling is
growing more bitter every hour"
