VILLA HOLDS UP MEXICAN TRAIN

El Paso, Texas, March 7.-Francis-
co Villa commanded the bandits who
held up and robbed the northbound
Mexico City passenger train near Cor
ralltes last Thursday when thirty
three persons were killed and several
held for ransom, including one Ameri-
can, according to passengers who
reached Chihuahua City today.
According to passengers the train
was stopped by an explosive placed
on the track, which derailled the loco
motive. A pitched battle ensued be-
tween fifty Yaqui soldiers of the train
guard and Villa followers to the num-
Der of 300, commanded by Francisco
Villa in person. Nineteen soldiers, four
civilians and ten bandits were kill
ed when the fighting ended with the
! retirement of a sub-lieutenant and six
Yaquis, all of the train guard who
remained unwounded.
Villa then herded the passengers to
nearby hill, threatening them with
death. Apolinar Ruvalcaba, train con-
ductor and Jesus Garcia, pullman con-
ductor, were killed, the latter by a
shot from Villas pistol
An American, Joseph Williams, an
employe of the American Smelling
and Refining Company, and Mr.. Mas
sar, an Arabian passenger, were held
for ransom, while another American,
r. w. Black, was not detained.
After vainly attempting to open the
express car safe, the bandits set fire
to the train. BEFORE leaving Villa
harrangued the passengers, telling
them he was not bandit but that he
was fighting for civil liberty and to
avenge the death of Gen. Felipe An
geles. In the course Of his talk he
said trains would not be permitted to
run.
The passengers walked twenty-four
kilometers north where they weere
picked up by train from Jiminez.
1t is reported a number Of passen-
gers hidden in the cars were burned to
death, when the train was destroyed,
but this is not confirmed
At the Ell Paso office of the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company,
it was said that no report of the cap
ture Of Williams had been received.
Military officials in Juarcz said they
had no official report of The train
They explained the interruption of
train service for the last few days as
being due to shortage of equipment
caused by northbound trains being
caught behind bridges burned by reb-
els near Chihuahua.
Corralites is about 400 miles south
Of FL Paso.
