El Paso, Tex, April 29.-Chihua-
hua City. for which federal troops
of President Carranza and rebel
forces were reported to be fighting
today. is one of the. largest cities in
northern Mexico. Its population
was estimated to be approximately
10000 people,
The last time chihuahua City
was captured by rebel forces was
in 1918 when Francisco Villa with
1000 men defeated 5000 federal
soldiers under Gen. Jacinto TIE
VINO. Prior to 1918 the city was
often captured or recaptured by
one faction or another of warning
MeXicans. Villa very often made
II bis first objective when launch
ing new campaign.
The city is the center of one of
the rich mining districts of the
world. Many American mining
companies have properties in the
vicinity and about the state. 1t is
an important smelling town.
Strategically the city is import
ant for the revolutiOnists. Holding
Chihuahua City they can cut rail
and telegraph communication be-
tween the American border here
and Mexico City. Using the city as
a base the troops in possession
have a rich country from which TO
draw food and supplies. Mining
companies and other concerns also
become field for levying of taxes.

Governor Larrazolo returns in bet

the hours spent in session of the
convention and the holding of the
platform to set forth his views on
public matters relative to public

The governor met with the most

set forth in the early hours of the
meeting and which had not been
thought of by any Of those who
were present. 1t was well recog-

PASSENGERS IN TRAIN
WRECK ARE CREMATED

lay MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE,
Bombay, April 29.-EXtremely
distrcssful and pathetic scenes We're
enacted in the train wreck on the
Oudh and Rohilkhand railway
east of Delhi, Saturday when 1850
passengers were either killed or
burned to death. Only few OF the
large number of women and chill
dren on the trains escaped burning,
while there were only three sur
vivors of three Hindu marriage
parties.
AS a result of the collision the
gas installation caught fire and
the flames spread rapidly. The UNI
injured Indians fled terror stricken
to the jungles. Those remaining
watched helplessly while the
screaming victims slowly roasted TO
death. The medical arrangements
aboard the trains We're totally in
adequate to give necessary assist
ance.
Several English subjects aboard
escaped injury. After the accident
pools of molten silver were found
in the vicinity, resulting from the
melting of the boards of rupees
many of the Indians carried about
with them.
