To Be Gathering In Hachita
District Intent Upon Furnishing

REPORT OF VILLA SAILING
Believe That Bandit chieftain Is In

IL PASO, February 19-Un-
~ less the government interferes
the cowboys of the Southwest will
take into their own hands the
avenging of the murder of three
of their number by Mexican
bandits last week. "l% ....
Such at least is the gist of the
report that has reached this city
from the Hachita district, where
the murders took place. Accord
ing to these statements cowboys,
under the leadership of one Spills
bury, are now organizing band OF
five hundred riders, who will fol-
low the murders across the border
as a punitive force, and if possible
bring them to justice, either in this
country or in Mexico.
ORGANIZING COWBOYS
Efforts were made by Spilsbury
to organize band Immediately
after the killing of the three cow
boys was announced, but he found
it impossible to gather more than
fifty men. whereas it was known
that the bandits numbered at least
five hundred. .-#s. ...
According to last nights rumor
offers have now reached him from
all along the border and men of
known reputation as cowboys and
rifle shots are coming forward
with prefers of their services, and
that cattlemen from all parts of
the Southwest are mastering for
the chase. d. &s'.., ':......
DOUBT VILLA REPORT
The report that Villa has left
Mexico and is on his way to Japan
is discredited by the officials of the
Carranza garrison in Juarez, across
the river from this city. They as
sert that it is their belief that the
outlaw chieftan is now in the
mountains either gathering fresh
forces or resting and recovering
from wounds, which he is reported
to have received in. some of the
recent fighting.
1t is believed by the de facto off
Gals that Salazar is acting indie

NEW YORK, February 10
IN Steadily rolling back the
German forces on the River Ancre,
the British are now within two and
three quarters miles of Bapaume,
and less than thirteen miles by
direct road from the back door of
Arras, one of the keys of the west
ern front, and of the bloodiest of
all the salients on that bloody front.
The successful attacks of Satur-
day gained ground in the neighbor-
hood of Miraumont, giving the
British the commanding ground
that they have been striving for
for weeks, and making the posi-
ton of the Teutons between that
village and that of Bapaume al
most untenable under the fire of
the Allied guns.
COUNTER ATTACKS FAIL
That the German commanders
on this front realize the danger of
allowing the British to hold the
ground thus gained was evidenced
yesterday by the fierce efforts they
made to regain the lost positions.
Time after time they launched at
tacks, which melted to nothingnessI
under the barrage fire of the Brit
ISL guns, or dashed themselves to-
pieces against the now thoroughly
consolidated Allied trenches.
The reports of the full details of
Saturdays fighting are now be-
ginning to come from London and
Paris as well as from the British
front, and show that the success
at first reported was less than that
which the Tommies under Sir
Douglas Haig and Sir Hubert
Cough, effected in their last attack
on the German strongholds along
the northern edge of the Ancre
valley. These strongholds, which
Sir Douglas Haig describes in his
official report as being as strong
as two years of hard work and skill
could make them" More than
seven hundred and fifty prisoners
were taken by the British, to-
gether with quantities of trench
mortars, machine guns and other
supplies and equipment.
ARTILLERY ACTIVE
On the rest of the Somme line
yesterday there was but desuitory
fighting, confined mostly to artil-
lery exchanges, with some trench
raiding by both armies, On other
fronts in the western theater, par
ticnlarly in Belgium; the artillery
was active, but the infantry kept
close to the trenches.
According to dispatches from
Berlin the French shelled the posi-
ton taken from them in the
Champagne district last week in
effectively, but were unable to
launch the intended infantry at
tacks because of the tremendous
artillery fire which the German
artillery maintained.
There was but little fighting in
the eastern front save at the lines
of the Oituz and Dvinsk rivers,
where the Russians continued their
recent attacks. .~ .|'.' .. |
