detachment of the Tenth cavalry
under command of Maj Evans halted
yesterday. At the time Gen. Pershing
sent his dispatch to Gen. Funston he
had not received an official report from
Col. Brown and the expeditionary
commander pointed out that reports of
the encounter lacked confirmation.
Credence in the news was indicated,
however, by the fact that he trans
mitted it to army headquarters here.
Found Many Asleep.
According to the version of the
Mexicans who arrived at Mai. Evans
headquarters, Col. Brown surprised
and attacked the wandering bandits
at noon while they were lying about
the village, many asleep and all their
horses grazing. Other than the num-
Der reported killed and the fact that
the American forces captured
number of horses, Mai. Evans in
formants were without details of the
encounter.
previous report from Mai. Evans
stated that Col. Brown was pursuing
the Villa band through the town of
San Antonio.
There was much interest at head
quarters in the fight, but it was real
lzed, it was said, that such minor
fights may take place frequently.
their effect being to DESTROY the
morale of Villas forces, sap their
strength and thus Indirectly aid in
the effort to capture the outlaw
chieftain.

Ell Paso, Texas, April 5.-The story
that Francisco Villa is wounded and
that his capture is imminent was as
serted again tonight by Gen. Gavira,
Carranza commander at Juarez.
Gen. Gavira made public a tele-
gram which he said he had received
from Gen. Gertani at MADEIRA stating
specifically that the bandit had been
shot and was in hiding somewhere
between Bachinaba and Satevo.
The message is confirmatory of re-
ports from American headquarters
that Villa was heading towards Sa-
tevo. While the story that he is
wounded still is accepted here with
considerable reserve, it is pointed out
that several days have elapsed since
the fugitive was reported in the neigh
borhood of Satevo on his way to Par
raj and that nothing has been heard
since of his movements. If Villa was
In full possession of his health and
travelling at his usual speed of 40
miles day, he could have reached
and passed Parral by this time, a
fact which could hardly escape being
reported.

SERv-US MINCE MEAT

Package condensed mince meat Co made up today of the best quality Of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and entrants. The study of packing condensed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is as near it's perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation
 m the factories in which it is packed is beyond reprOach as the competition today in these lines necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State. where in our opinion IS grown the best favored apple known. The raIsins used are Of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procuring the very highest grade of spices. and sugar, as We all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ ent fiavors or different granulation re- Quired for different purposes Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of minoe meat Is thoroughly cleaned and hand-pic5ed by people trained to know what should and should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house. wife cleaner by far than she could
 possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean 1t may be, and make up the nller for her mince pie.
