BEATEN BANDIT FLEES FROM CHIHUAHUA, CAN'T
 BATTER DOWN DEFENSE

guia's division, which has been ad vancing toward Chihuahua City from the south, remains as much of d mys- tery tonight as it was yesterday when General Murguia was expected to re- inforce General TIevino. A theory advanced by military off cers here is that bandit scouts informed Villa of the approach of the Murguia column and he abandoned the attack on the city and sought safety in flight to the Sierras.
 The CarranZa forces under General Trevino remain in control of the city after two days of hard fighting, and General Trevino and his staff claim the complete rOut of the bandit forces. At o'clock this afternoon the cavalry columns were still pursuing Villa and his men.
 As far as, is definitely known Gen eral Trevino's losses have been com paratiyely small, due in a large measure to the artillery fire which kept the bandits out of rifle range. One general and two colonels of the de facto forces have been killed during the fighting. Governor Francisco Trevino was wounded in the head
 General Julio Acosta, one of Villas chiefs. was killed during q cavalry charge on the first days fighting. on Wednesday. and Villas private secre- tary, Andres Sada, was also killed Villas losses are believed here to have been heavy, and are variously estimated at from 800 to 800 dead and as many more wounded.
