Paso, Texas, the Mexican Federal forces attacked again and again were worsted in the fierce fighting. : The Federals were driven back and’ the Constitutionalists, under General! Francisco Villa, claim a complete vic tory. The Oenstitutionalist officers in Juarez reported that the Federals had been driven back all along the rebel front, and that General Villa had or dered a general advance of his men against the Federals, declared to be in retreat. A newspaper man stationed at the! top of a wireless telegraph tower 300, feet high, three miles east of El Paso, | confirmed the rebel report that the Federals were falling back south of! Juarez. He could see the maneuvers with field glasses, A general advance was ordered by: General Villa. The only fighting close! to Juarez was that directed against General Salazar's Federals at Zara Bossa, east of Ysleta, General Salazar, one of the four Federal leaders. is reported to have been shot to death in the battle. Forty more of his co. ‘mand were taken he fore General Villa and immediately executed. They were lined up and shot, according to a wounded officer, brought to Juarez. Colonel Juan N. Medina denied any knowledge of the capture of Salazar, but the report was current in Yslets that he was a prisoner. It was also reported that Villa had been person ally directing his men against Sala zar, whom the rebels are anxious to capture and bring to Juarez, where he will be hanged as a traitor. The fighting at Zaragzosso, opposite Yslea, Texas, where the battle bezan, ceased at noon. The batile there had been heavy, the roar of artillery be ing plainly heard in El Paso, Texas, twelve miles away. Colonel Juan N. Medina, chief of staff to General Villa, said the Federals had been driven hack as far as thirty miles south of Juarez, except those surrounded at Zaragossa. It was announced that Colonel Por firio Talamantes, one of the rebel col onels, was killed in the battle. The Federal troops resumed fight Ing in their attempt to capture Juarez from the Constitutionalists, under General Francisco Villa. Apparently they depended on thefr heavy guns to break the rebel lines, the battle opening with heavy cannon. ading. Monday the fighting was ten to twelve miles south of Juarez, and about 7000 rebels and 5000 Federals were engaged. Simultaneously firing opened south east of the Juarez race track and op posite Ysleta, Texas. The Federals used cannon. The appearance of the Federals near the race track indicated that had worked their way around the rebel outposts during the night. Reports from Ysleta were that the fighting was heavy. These repor:g stated that Villa had taken four wagon loads of supplies and ammunition across the border at Socorro during the night, together with a considerable supply of forage. The sound of the battle south of Juarez, the center of General Villa's battle front, was heard in E! Paso early, but the fighting was not close enough for any missiles to fall fin Juarez or El Paso. i SEIZE AMERICAN SCHOONER | Fishermen Get Away With Vessel Held by Mexican Authorities.

A lawyer appeared before one of the New York city boards asking that damages be awarded to certain clients because of a chauge of grade in their street. When he had completed his ar- gument the president said: “Mr. Blank, | you ought to know better than to take | up the time of thi hoard in this man- ner. You are too good a lawyer not to allow that on your own presentation of facts these people have not the shadow of a legal claim against the tity.” “Your remarks are fully justi- fied. Mr. President.” said Mr. Blank. “I not only expected them, but you have done rie a favor by making them There are dwmes when a lawyer is so pushed by his clients who seem to know more about the law than he does tha: the only thing he can do is to let them come up agaivst it thew. selves.

Lewis Pinkerton, the missing Del- | aware county tax collector, and farm superintendent, was found murdered aud buried in a strip of lonely wood: | land half way between Wawa and Darlington near Media, Pa. His head had been beaten until! his fea | tures were almost unrecognizable and | his arms and body were cut and | bruised. | The body which had been buried | by the murderers, lay in a skallow grave, where it had rested since the night of Novmber 7, when Pinkerton had been slain. On top of it was a bloody blackjack which had heen used on the “Brick House Farms” of G miles away. Pinkerton was superin- tendent of four farms belonging to Wilson. District Attorney Hannum, of Dela. ware county, and O'Toole, a detective were led to the place where the body had been hid Ly the confessed mur. derers. They are Roland S. Penning- ton, a twenty-year-old farm hand on the Wilson place and George H. March thirty-two years old, employed by Wil son as a dairyman. Both are now confined in the Media jail. The arrest of Pennington and March occurred after the former had con fessed and implicated March. At first the latter deried the crime, but when he was confronted by the mutilate! body at the grave, broke down and admitted the murder, After the District Attorney and O'Toole had wormed the n-rrative o' the murder out of Pennington. he agreed to lead the men to the body, Both Pennington and March had been taken place, and from there the four, in a motor car, started on their ghastly search. Pennington did the directing, and the partv started to follow the route traversed by Pennincton and March murder, Pennington’s eyes were almost bursting from his head and he scanned the roadway ahead. revealed in the glare of the motor's search lights, About a mile and a half from Wawa “We're zetting near it now,” he “Stop here.” The moter halted, and the four men got out. Pennington led the way with a lantern held high over his head. District Attorney Hannum, O'Toole and March followed, the first two carrvinz lanterns and spades. They crossed the old Darlington es tate. covering about half a mile of field, meadow and woodland, scramb- ling over fences and stumbling through the darkness, coming to a wood-covered hill on the farm of Mrs. Mary Crosby. Enterinz one strip of lonely woods, Pennington stepped, swung his lantern finally kicked at some loose earth. “Diz here.” he said to O'Toole. The district attorney stood guard over the two prisoners, but there was no need. Pennington and March stood limp and trembling, Incapable of mov: ing, while the detective duz into the moist earth. He had penetrated about two feet when he hegan to go more carefully. He was digging around a long. still ohject. Then he called to Hannum. Tozether they lifted the thing out of the hole. Pinkerton's body lay before them. District Attorney Hannum still he. lleves that March has not told all the truth. The man still maintains that robbery was not the motive for the crime. Pennington declares it was a motive and that the money found on Pinkerton, with his signet ring, were taken by them and division made. Pinkerton had between $300 and $600 with him when he disappeared. Woman Denied Pass to Hanging. Mrs. Jennie Stine, sister of Harry E.
