MURGUIA IS INVIT )
FIGHT If 0UI. !.


El Paso, Tex, July Am open let
ter signed by Francisco Villa has been
received here by friends of Villa. The
letter is addressed to Gen. Francisco
Murguia, commander of the north
eastern military zone, and invites
Murguia to come out in the open and
fight with Villas forces for supremacy
in the north. The letter is filled with
eplthets addressed to the government
commander and his forces.
The letter, which was written with
an indelible pencil on legal stationery,
was not dated. 1t had evidently been
dictated. as the signature and rubric
are not the same as the writing in the
body of the letter. Foreigners who
know Villas signature say the one on
the letter is genuine. To an Ameri-
can friend, Villa last week sent mes
sage saying he would be near the bor-
der soon. This note was dated Moe
tezuma, 100 miles south of Juarez.
General Murguia, who has returned
to Chihuahua City from Mexico City,
brought with him 100000 pesos, a
large supply of ammunition new can
non and other elements, according to
a report received at the Mexican con
sulate here today. The northeastern
commander has announced his inten-
ton of renewing his offensive against
villa at once west of the capital. 1t
was also announced that the forced
loan of 10000 pesos which was made
in Chihuahua City recently would be
repaid out of the money General Muir
guia brought north to pay his army.

Phoenix that former Governor George
w. p. Hunt had been named concili-
ator in Arizona by the department

strike leaders, but a denial of the re-
port received from Washington early

their plans for an extensive continua-
tion of the strike campaign tomorrow
Although the streets were filled with
people Throughout the day, there was
but one case of disorderly conduct.
While the parade was passing the
postoffice man, said by the officers
to be a member of the I. w. W., re-
ferred to the flags carried BY the
mir ers as trash and later refused
to remove his hat when the national
anthem was being played by band
composed of miners. His hat was
torn from hiss heat by an indignant
spectator. who followed this mp by
the man down. A mob of
several hundred persons rushed the
man in to the lobby of the post
office and, but for prompt interference
by city and county officials, would
have badly beaten him. The man
escaped with broken jaw and minor
bruises. Hundreds of deputies and
special police continue to patrol the
of the mining companies, lut
the striking miners were orderly to-
night and no trouble was anticipated

a strong salient. German attacks on
the left bank of the Meuse were re-
pulsed.
