health and / am feeling fine for q

FIGHT LASTED 7 HOURS

FL Paso, Nov. o. Francisco Villa
Withdrew surviving forces in defeat
from Chihuahua city at 6:15 o'clock
last night after battle of seven hours,
during which he made fruitless at
tempts to carry Gen. Trevino's pro-
tecting works by assault, according to
reports from Juarez.
Three separate attacks have been
made upon the Carranza forces by
the Villa forces from the south, ac-
cording to Gen. Gonzales. These at
tacks have been repulsed according
to the same source and the Villa
losses have been extremely heavy,
the message says.
Gen. Trevino's artillery which car
ried the brunt of the attack, did
heavy execution in the ranks of the
bandits, according to the message,
Gen. Gonzales said he had received
from the state capital. Many Villa
prisoners were taken by the Carranza
forces when a detachment Of infantry
and cavalry made a sally from the
city, he said.
Carranza's officers here are opti-
mistic regarding the outcome of the
battle at Chihuahua city. The only
cause of worry to them is the fact
that Gen. Trevino's ammunition sup
ply for small arms and machine guns
is limited. However the supply OF
artillery shells is ample, it is said
here, to keep the bandits away from
the city.
