Bandit Maneuvers

Late yesterday Afternoon a small
band of Villa bandits took a foothold
in the church of Santa Rio De Guade-
lupe. They were driven by gunfire
from their stronghold and cavalry dis
persed.
The night was passed in expectation
of the desperate attack which did not
materialize. This morning small
groups OF enemy cavalry We're shelleu
by the artillery on Santa Ross hill.
Auto Is Found
The shell holes and bullet marks
were plainly seen on the sides OF the
Dig automobile when it was found ON
the battlefield after Villa abandoned
it and rode away on horseback. The
battle Saturday started soon after the
tele2raphic mmunication with Jua-
rez was cut. The wire went down at
IL A. NJ, and the battle was raging by
1880 \. NJ. The bandits attack cover
ed the entire southern front with
thanking operations to the east and
WeSGl.
The most desperate fighting occurred
on Zarco avenue, within the city. The
bandits hurled their best equipped forces
against the entertainments which had
been thrown up across this street ana
street lighting followed.
The Villa forces made every possible eff
fort to take these entertainments, which
were the key to the defences of the city
proper.
The de facto infantry met these charges
with counter charges and the battle was-
ed back and forth in this narrow strees
until the Villa bandits were driven out Of
the mouth of the avenue onto the plains,
where they were raked with machine gun
fire from the housetops and the artillery
fire which had supported effectively the
infantry efforts.
General Trevino is prepared for any
general assault although the indications
TODAY were the enemy would not attack
again today. However. Gen. Trevino is
not relinouishing his vigilance and is pre-
pared for a surprise attack from any one
of the four quarters. At the tfhe tiiiS
message was dispatched by courier no
bandits were visible west of the city Gen.
Carlos DUMAS cavalry charges in this d.
rectioh completely freed this sector of
Villa forces.
The losses on both sides are report
cd to be heavy. as some of the fight
ing during the past "a hours has been
almost hand to hand encounters. The
wounded who fell outside of the city
could not be rescued from the mo
Mans land" beyond the first line
trenches because Of the firing by both
the bandits and the government
forces. It is expected to send rescue
parties out under cover of night to-
night to bring in the wounded and
bury the dead. The wounded who fell
within the city are being cared for at
the municipal hospital. Women are
serving as volunteer nurses in TINS
and other hospitals of the city.
The troops on both the bandit and
government sides appear very tired at
the three days of almost constant
fighting.

CONDITIONS AT BANQUET
HELD IN MINOT.

The publishers and printers Of Ward
county and those from several of the
neighboring cities located in compel
ing territory, met in this city Friday
evening. The gathering was one of
the most important meetings ever
held by the craft in this section.
A banquet was held at the Leland
hotel and at it's conclusion, the ladies
adjourned to the Arcade theatre,
where they enjoyed an excellent show.
c. A. johnson, publisher Of the OPP
tic Reporter, acted as POSTMASTER,
handling the situation in pleasing
manner.
Remarks were made by everyone
present. The principal address Of the
evening was given by Robert Hughes
of Wahpeton, president of the North
Dakota Press Association. Mr..
Hughes called attention to the alarm
ing rate with which printing stocks
of all kinds have advanced in price
and advised printers and publishers to
change their schedules of prices ac-
cordingly. This, he said, was being
done throughout the United States.
Advertising rates were being raised,
as print paper is costing just about
double what it did a year ago, and it
is hard to get at any price. 1t is
said that many manufacturers have
abandoned making print, selling their
wood pulp to the warning nations. In
the event that the war should end to-
day, prices cannot be expected to de-
crease for months to come. He pre-
dicted that unless the printers and
publishers adjusted their prices at
once, they would find themselves fac
ing serious obstacle a;s WI within h a. very cry

the facts which he gave could not be
