ESCOBAR
READY FOR BATTLE

JUAREZ, CHIHUAHUA, Mexico,
March 29.-(P)-The crisis of the
Mexican revolution apparently was
near at hand today as only IL miles
of desert separated the federal5 at
EScalon and the rebels at Bellano,
to the north. Reports received here
said a battle before night was i'm
minent.
The revolutionaries made their
first air raid yesterday, bombing
Bermejillo, believed to be the head
quarters of General P. Elias Gales,
generalissimo of the federal army.
Reports from rebel headquarters at
JimeneZ said the attack was sue
cessful, doing much damage and
creating much CONSERVATION among
the federal forces" Two bombers
accompanied by an unannounced
number of pursuit planes, made the
raid.
The raid was taken here as an in
dication that General Jose Gonzalo
Escobar. commandments of the
revolutionistS, was ready for battle
after keeping his movements for the
last few days secret by enforcing a
rigid censorship. A telegram from
Escobar to The Associated Press
said:
The Aerial escadrille Of the rev.
olutionary army is ready and well
equipped to combat the Gales
army"
An official report received at rebel
headquarters here last night said
two federal a~viators. a Captain
Farrell and Captain Alfredo Cebal-
los, had been shot down and killed.
Farrell was killed when he attempt
ed to raid Jemenez and Ceballos
was brought down at Guadalajara
On March "a, according to the report
which concluded, These deaths may
have been confirmed by the enemy"

BOO, rendered by the district court
several months ago in favor of S.
Lamar Gill Of Raymondville and
others vas introduced by the plain
tiff, and Homer r. Maxwell, city
attorney, testified at length regard
ing the release of this judgment,
the abstract of title and other doc
uments he had been requested to
pass upon. He stated he mad a ver-
bal report to the city commission
Wednesday, March 20. and a writ
ten opinion Monday, March IS.
The testimony of witnesses GEN.
tered largely on the value of the
property, indicating a wide varia-
ton of opinion. j. NJ. Green, city
commissioner, who is engaged in
the real estate business, testified
that in his opinion, the value Of
the 225-acre tract as a whole cid
not exceed $225 per acre. Fl. j.
Goetzke estimated the value at 5000
per acre; z. o. Stuart placed the
value at S400, Joe Cunningham at
$3.50, and Clayton Pritchard at $500
per acre.
Considerable testimony relative to
real estate values on lands contigu-
Gus to or in various part of the
city was admitted, showing a SIM
ilarly wide range, and practically
all witnesses were called upon to es-
innate values of various tracts or
small parcels of land. Two witness
es asserted they had seen part Of
the Arroyo Country club tract I'M
der water from Arroyo overflow, and
then described part of the land as
broken.
A. P. Holmes. former city COM
missioner, stated the city had been
offered the east parksite at $50
per acre and the Bush tract at $50
per acre. He said the city had
paid $500 on a 69-acre tract, and
that SO far as he knew the deal
had not been closed.
In their examination OF Homer
r. Maxwell, city attorney, attorneys
for the plaintiffs dwelt at some
length on the fact that the war
rants issued in payment for the
tract are dated March /, and the
city attorney was asked if it was
customary to ante-date city war
rants. He stated that he knew of
only n previous issue which had
been ante-dated, and that was in
connection with the light plant
some time previous to its sale.
Mayor Bolts testified that the
warrants had been signed on March
81, and delivered to Lloyd Thomp-
son, trustee, and that he had no
knowledge of where they are or who
has them now. At the opening of
the case attorneys for the plaintiffs
stated they had been informed that
the warrants had been sold to B..
r. Dlttrnar & Co. of San Antonio.

Federal aviators reported Jimenez
had been deserted by the rebels who

Government announcements said
there had been numerous surren-
ders of rebels who no longer wished

News dispatches concerning some Of
these said the rebel soldiers were
