FL Paso, Tex, Sept, lo.-Two columns
OF Mexican government cavalry under
General Hatias Ramos and Colonel Jose
Marrero yesterday were pursuing Villa
and his main band, which Saturday made
the independence day attack on Chihua-
hua City. into the rugged Santa Clara
canyon district to the northeast, accord
ing to reports to General Francisco Con
"a les, commandant in Juarez.
The bandits were well mounted, and
apparently were leading the de faeto
forces over the jagged rocks, ruinous to
the feet OF the horses, into the canyon.
Persons familiar with the country
poined out that should Villa reach one
of his lars in the district the govern
ment troops might have the greatest
difficulty in finding him
Yesterdays reports indicated that Vii.
las force numbered approximately Loco
and was opposed by the garrison OF
about 1000.
The Villa casualties also were said to
be considerably larger than was first in
dicated.
From the number Of dead and wound
ed picked up by the pursuing forces, IT
was estimated the losses probably were
about 250.
Villa himself directed the attack, ac-
cording to the dispatch, but did not en-
ter the town, remaining across the Rio
Churiscar to the northwest, with few
hundred Of his re-organized gold ones.
When his followers had fallen back to his
point, it was asserted, he directed the re-
treat
Much damage was done to the peni-
Tertiary and the municipal and federal
palaces, which the bandits succeeded IN
capturing before the surprised members
of the garrison, who had participated IN
an Independence day celebration, rallied.
Rifles were useless in the hand to hand
street fighting. Pistols and bare fists
were used. a. the two commands strug-
gled through the early morning hours
in the rain.
When finally the artillery fire, which
General Trevino directed from Santa
Rosa, fortified hill TO the west OF the
city, had forced the Villistas to retire,
they left the streets behind them covered
with their dead. Search yesterday was
being made among the bodies in an at
tempt to identify prominent outlaw lead
ers and especial effort was being made TO
find trace of Jose Inez Salazar, known
as "the perpetual revolutionist,' who was
held in the penitentiary on charge OF
treason and released in the attack.
The bandits had made an orderly re-
treat into the outskirts of the city &C
cording to dispatches, when they again
came into the line of government artil-
lery fire, this time from the twin hills
OF Nombre de dos The retreat mmedi-
ately became a rout.
Rumors current here that part OF the
Carranza garrison had joined Villa were
denied at the Juarez commandment, II
being asserted that all dispatches were
warm in their praise of the government
troops for their loyalty in the action.
Physicians attending General Trevino
who sustained wound in the arm in the
action said yesterday that his injuries
we're slight it was announced.

Met Situation

New London, Conn. Sept. lo.-When
the Mexican American commissioners
resumed their conference yesterday, there
was reason to believe the Mexican repre-
sentatives were prepared to insist that
their deliberations be directed toward an
agreement on the control of the border.
The American representatives., believing
that the border situation was merely
incident TO the general condition in Mex
leo, had planned to continue their study
of Mexico's internal affairs.
Luis Cabrera. chairman of the Mexican
delegation, presided yesterday.
Both American and Mexican members
of the commission are confident that ma
terial progress towards mutual under
standing will be made this week, but an
early agreement upon a program for the
maintenance of order along the border
is considered improbable.

ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES
For week erd1ng Sept. 10.

The exhibit of the ii county agents OF
the state at the state fair in White Xiv
err Junction this past week illustrated
the lines of work taken up in the various
counties. That all the agents brought
samples of soy beans shows that TINS
crop is being pretty thoroughly tried out
this year all over the state and since ali
were willing to exhibit them that the re-
suits are generally satisfactory. II the
farmers will keep watch OF the papers,
the circular letters of the agents and talk
this new crop over with those who have
tried them this summer | think that an
other year they will be pretty generally
grown. My conclusions regarding them
for different sections OF this county Will
be given later. Alfalfa was another lead
ing exhibit. The demonstration plots are
showing results that are worth watching
when travelling over the state.
The season is holding free from frost
remarkably well and our corn crop needs
all the time it can have. When, as was
figured from analysis figures. it requires
25 tons of green corn just tasseling out
to equal in weight of dry matter 10 tons
of good, well matured corn, it makes
most farmers want to wait as long as
they can before cutting for the silo.
Please remember my request of last week
to save samples OF your corn if you are
irving out new varieties or differences in
fertilizing until the county agent can
call on you. He will visit this week,
weather permitting, Braintree Brook
field. Tunbridge. Bradford, Williamstown
and Chelsea, but will be able to see but
limited number.

the roots. This field at first appearance
is a failure because OF the very poor
corn on il due to the wetness OF the
piece. The beans are not as large or as
mature as on better land, but the yield
is much better in proportion than the
corn and has been a material help in fur
nishing food matter which would not be
obtained from the corn alone or the
weeds which usually fill a poor cornfeld.

WASHINGTON WILL.
TURN SAMUEL RICE
OVER TO RICHMOND
Star Young Hurler Will Doubtless Join Billy Smith and His
Vrgnians Before the End of This WeekDea For Player
. Said To Have Been Consummated- Allan Russell May
Also Come To Richmond From New York.

While there has been no official
confirmation of the fact by the
Richmond management. II was
learned last night that Sammy
Rice. one of the best hurlers ever
turned out by the Virginia League
and who Is considered one OF the
best young hurlers on the WASH
ington staff, will be turned over
to the Virginians by Clarke Grit
filth, manager OF the Senators.
1t Is a known fact that Manager
Billy Smith left Richmond Satur-
day night for Washington for tho
purpose of holding a conference
with the "Old Fox" with reference
to getting the young Highlander,
and IT was learned yesterday
from a most reliable source that
his visit was n successful one.
Manager Smith tried to get Rice
several days ago, but Clarke Grit
nth thought so well of the former
Petersburg pitcher that he has
been holding to him. However, the
has "a number OF good huriers, and
before many days ne will have to
let some out with strings attached.
While Griffith will dislike to part
with the boy for even year, IL
Is a case of necessity, and he says
he would rather let Manager
Smith have him than any other
club.
Rice joined Washington the lat
ter part of last season, and while
he went in as n relief pitcher on
several occasions. after he had
been acquired by the Senators, he
worked I'm but one full game,
which he won easily.
The finger il IN big fellow and
is a smart pitcher. He knows
the art of pitching. and should
make Richmond u good man.
just when Rice will join the Rich
mond club Is not definitely known,
but 1t Is thought that ne will get
into n Nirginian uniform in time
to pitch one of the games this
week in either Buffalo or Toronto.
