is being told here today by refu-

da BV4, IaRetaoi etaoinaoin
On the night Of the attack upon
Chihuahua he utilized a bold
trick to enable his men to enter
the city undetected. Learning
through spis that thousands Of re-
Inducements had arrived at Mon
terey and had been put upon
guard duty, he evolved this STRAIT
egem. When he arrived in the
outskirts he sent forward small
details Of his own men with in
structions to relieve the Carran-
ZlStas on outpost duty. They
marched up gave the password
and an officer informed the guarC
he had been detailed to relieve
them. Deluded into the belief thu
newcomers were mmbers Of thu
garrison, the outposts marched
away, leaving Villa s own men t
guard" the town.
1t was Villa who put into prac
tice the idea Of driving herds O
cattle over ground believed to b
planted with mines. Since it ha
been picked up by commander
IN the European war. He ais
used herds Of cattle as living bar
rlcades when attacking entrench
ed positions. His men would driv
hundreds Of cattle up before tn
trenches using them as cover.
