VILLA AGAIN ON WARPATH,
AND AT HIS OLD TRICKS

Chihuahua City, Mex, Oct o.
Francisco Villa and his band again
have been on the warpath and have
| left a trail of death, destruction and
desolation in their wake. With the
departure of General Francisco Muir
guia the northeastern zone COM
mander, for Mexico City, Villa re.
sumed his guerrilla warfare on the
towns and small settlements in Chi
huahua state. Making feint on
Chihuahua City to draw in federal
troops from outlying garrisons he
then dashed at Parral, was driven
| off, and attacked Jimenes junction.
He held Jimenes for IL hours dur
which his men looted stores, killed
soldiers and civilians, poisoned one
family and hanged another including
an eight year old girl. Driven out
by General Joaquin Amaro, the Du-
range Indian, with his cavalry, Villa
attacked Jimenez the second time.
Before he could reenter the plaza
i General Murguia arrived from the
south with reinforcements and drove
Villa into the hills.
One of Villas typical tricks was
executed against a federal force gar
risoning Parral. The garrison COM
mander received a letter written on
official government stationary and
signed with the name of General Pc
dro Favela ordering him to proceed
to Pillar de Concho to form a juno
ton with Favela's force in pursuit If
villa. A signal fire on the pillar Of
for the junction of the two forces.
The federals marched to the appoint
ed place, the signal fire appeared on
the limestone pillar and the Parral
command advanced without advance
guards or hankers. They were am
flushed and almost annihilated.
Villa had written the letter on cap.
tured federal stationery, had copied
Favela's signature from an old or
der taken from a prisoner and had
set the trap for the government
force.
