Over 500 Refugees Are
En- Route to Border


JUAREZ, Jan. 27.-Guarded by de-
tachment of defacto troops, a refugee
train left Casas Grandes today for the
border carrying more than 500 Mexican,
American and Chinese refugees from the
zone being evacuated by the American
troops The train is scheduled to arrive
here TOMORROW.
Crowds Of refugees at Casas Grandes
were unable to find room on the Mexico
Northwestern train and were forced to
accompany the eNpeditionary forces from
CoIonia Dublan or await another train.
General Jose Santos Murguia, who left
Juarez for Casas Grandes today will re-
organize the Carranza troops in that dis
trict to occupy the places evacuated by
the American forces. However, he has
only a comparatively small number Of
troops in western Chihuahua and unless
the relnforcements arrive soon from Chi
huahua City overland, the Villa follow
ers are expected to occupy the greater
part of the territory abandoned by the
Americans.
Villa forces were reported lin the vi
cinity of Casas Grandes today and Villa
himself was said to have abandoned his
campaign against General Francisco Muir
guia and to have moved northward into
the former zone of American operations
with a large body Of men.
Passengers arriving here from Chihua-
hua City today reported having seen ff-
" Villa followers going toward FL Vale
from the vicinity of Carrizal. They
were driving a herd of horses ahead of
them.
