yond Satevo had placed themselves.

Villa, with a force of 200 followers,

Canuto Reyes and his band.
American troops are not believed to
have crossed the Durango line, al
though they probably are close to it

miles ahead of the most advanced
American column and in territory un-
favorable for swift pursuit.

cisco Villa was in the neighborhood OF
Parral or had passed 1t was brought
to Juarez by Gen. Francisco Bertani,
the Carranza commander at Madeira.
The last fight between Carranzistas
and Villistas occurred at San Fran

eral said, the Villistas being defeated
and leaving behind them a number
of dead and wounded.
Gen. Bertani said he had absolute
confirmation that Villa had been
wounded. The bandit was shot in the

injured when his horse fell on him.
