by headquarters of the revolution
lists here.
Because Gen. Jose Gonzalo Esco-
bar, revolutionary communicating

gun to fiddle around with a type
writer, as one of his aides put it,
little else was known here of the
battle.
Escobar sent two bulletins to the
rebel headquarters here yesterday
announcing he had repulsed two at
tacks by the federals and express
ing confidence the rebels could hold
Jimenez Indefinitely.
Report Troop Revolt
Officials of the revolution here
believed that if Escobar could hold
Jimenez throughout today, the fed
erals would have to retire, to reach
their base of supplies.
Word was received in Chihuahua
Yesterday that the federal garrison
left IN Torreon when Gen. p. Elias
Gales forces advanced northward
IN pursuit Of the rebels, had re-
VOTED. Lack Of wire connections
With Torreon kept the details of
the revolt bottled up.
Information, purported to have
been intercepted from federal tele-
graph wires to the effect that Co
cula, Ameca and Zacoalco. in the
state OF Jalisco, had been occupied
oy, rebel troops. was revealed at

Campaign To Free
City of Mad Dogs
To The Herald:
EDau,ora rs l@o

To The Herald:
Beware of dogS!"
When Paul gave this advice he
was speaking of two-legged dogs.
No doubt his advice was good then
and may still be worth needing.
Just now we are threatened with
a danger from the four-legged va
riety, threatening the very lives of
III citizens. In the last two days
five persons in our city have been
bitten by a dog suffering from
rabies. Of this there is no doubt as
the head was sent to Austin and 1t
was decided that it was a very bad
case. In the last two weeks, I am
credibly informed. more than 20
persons in the Valley have been
bitten.
Which are of the greater value,
our children or our dogs? We spend
thousands for the education of our
children, but every day as they
walk the streets on their way to
school, they are exposed to this ter
rible menace. 1t is time-high
time, that drastic action be taken.
The city is full Of worthless dogs
NANCY curs-not only disgusting
in appearance, but e~ndargering the
lives of our citizens.
Any n owning a dog Of any
value, one worth keeping about the
home, should be equally interested,
as the rabid dog endangers his pet.
Hence we suggest, that the most
efficient remedy for this dangerous
state, is to place q tax of sufficient
amount on all dogs to destroy the
worthless and dangerous and pro-
tect those worth keeping. This tax
should be at least $40 on all male
and SIS on all female dogs. Those
on which the tax is paid should be
furnished with a tag good for one
year, but in addition they should
not be permitted on the streets
without a muZzle. 1t has also FL
suggested that for immediate safe
ty these dogs should be required to
be immunized by a competent vet
erinarian.
The tax collected should be
placed in a special fund to be used
as needed for the treatment Of
those who may be bitten by a rabid
dog or cat. We understand that
the expense of treatment is con-
siderable and many persons are not
able to pay for it. Let the dogs,
that are of sufficient value to be
kept, pay for the treatment of this
awful maIady.
Which do you think the most Of.
your dogs or your children? Again.
not only beware Of dogs. but pro-
tect yourselves from them.

Jiminez was in their hands. But
in the unlocked for calling off of
the federal attack and in the
acknowledged failure to take the
city after such a determined effort
some saw reason to believe there
may have been federal reverses.
Coast Rebels Routed
There was a different story from
the west coast however where in
the state of Sinaloa, where the only
other fighting of consequence is
taking place, federal troops dis
lodged the rebel army from fortifi-
cations at Limon and forced full
retreat northward toward Quila
and Culiacan. More than 100
rebels were killed.
Lieutenant Colonel Gustavo
Leon, who flew across the rebel
lines reported he had seen bridges
burning on railway outlets from
Jiminez to Chihuahua City and to
Parral. This, probably the work OF
federal raiders. was believed to
have cut the rebels off from their
base.
The rebel troops were found en-
trenched outside Jiminez. Desul-
tory firing began as early as | a,
m, according to the report of Gen
eral Gales. who renamed at his
headquarters at Bermejillo, 10O
miles southeast of Jiminez, leaving
field operations to General Juan
Ajdreu Almazan.
Assaults Fail
Federal artillery was soon
brought into action followed by in
fantry and cavalry assaults, which,
with one exception failed. The ex-
ception was on the rebel right
flank which the federals drove into
the city where there was desper-
ate street fighting.
Last night the federals. accord
ing to their own reports, held half
OF the little town.
The CITY suffered heavily from
shell fire, and it was said a wind
mill which had sheltered a rebel
machine gun nest, was destroyed
Gales reported to ChapultepeC
Castle at midnight that unless the
rebels chose to attack again there
would be no further fighting be-
fore daybreak.
1t was said General Escobar's
army did not number over 5000
General Almazan has 10000 troops
supposedly better equipped. with
him. General Francisco Urbalejc
who lost Durango to General
Gales, is assisting General Esco-
bar.
