YILLISTA FORCE
ATTACKS JIMENEZ
Unconfirmed Report Say Three
Thousand Followers of the
Bandit Make Attack.
VILLA SENDS REYES NOTE

FL Paso, Tex, July 6.--Villistas
pursuing their victory over Carranzis-
tas at Corral ranch on July 4 have
attacked Jimenez, according to re-
ports reaching mining men here today.
Military authorities in Juarez were
unable to affirm or deny the reports,
as all telegraph lines to the city had
been cut
Reports from Chihuahua City fol-
lowing the engagement at Corral said
that the broken Carranzista command
had retired to Jimenez, which is l20
miles south OF Oh uahua City, and
had been reinforced there by 1000
men under General Domingo Arrieta.
The villista forces are said to num-
Der 5000.
Another report brought here today
by an American who had extensive
interests in southern Chihuahua was
that Francisco Villa recently sent a
communication to Canuto Reyes, his
former lieutenant, who was recently
amnestized by the de facto govern
ment, asking him to reconsider his
decision. This message Reyes turned
over to General Jacinto Trevino, Car
ranzista commander OF the army OF
the north, 1t Is said. The American
asserted he had definite information
that Villa at the time he sent for
Reyes was at San Juan Bautispo,
about thirty miles south Of Parral,
and had with him 1000 men.
Other persons arriving her today
said they had heard reports that Villa
was in command OF the force which
defeated the Carranzistas at Corral
and that moving on to Jimenez, he
had captured that city.

Leidy to go with his regiment upon
his waving rights to pension be-
cause of the slight disability which
was discovered when he was exam
ined and will press the matter with
the War department along with Sem
ator Hitchcock, who has already been
appealed to. Speaker Clark sent the
following letter to Chaplain Leidy
which was received this morning At
the camp:
my Dear Brother Leidy: l will
communicate with Senator Hitchcock
at once and do all that know to
help you, as l have always had the
very highest regard, and warmest
friendship for you--ever since you
went out in the hot summer sun and
individually shaped up the limestone
to go into your little church at Bow
ling Green.
Il will do all l can for you. Glad
to do it. CHAMP CLARK"
