Battle
El Paso. Texas. March 20. The
Carranza force» have failed to hold
their end of the net that was closing
about Villa and the tiandit chief has
eaca|M>d to hi» mountain haunt«, ac-
conling to reliable information re
ceived today.
The eecape of the bandit i». how
ever. far from being the must
serious item of new» reaching the
border today. A feature of the
gravent importance was injected in
to the situation by substantial con
firmation of the numerous reports
received for the past w«*ek that the
Mexican government troop« were
failing to co-operate
with the
American troop«, hut in certain
instance« at least, were actually
withdrawing from the
field
of
operation«.
The Associated Pre*« learned on
unquestionable authority that the
troop« of the de facto government
which had been stationed at Casas
Grandes have lieen withdrawn and
are now in and about Juarez.
from tbe same source it was
learned that at least one detach-
ment of Carranza troopshad refused
to tight Villa and had withdrawn on
the bamlit's approach, leaving him
free to pnw into his favorite moun
tain fastnesses in the great conti
nental divide south of Namiquipa
Thia detachment withdrew on re
ceipt of a message that he was not
warring on Mexicans, but the ene
mies of Mexicans.
The extraordinary rapidity with
which the American cavalry had
pushed into Mexico gave rise to high
hofs-s yesterday that th«- unexpected
had happened and the notorious ban
dit was cornered. This seemed in
evitable if the Carranza soldiers did
their part and if the account of the
strength of their field forces was
correct.
Villa, cut off from th«- north by
the forward sweep of the American
Column«, from the west by the Sierra
Madre barring the approach«*« to
the state of Sonora, was supposed
to tn* equally tarred from east an«l
south by powerful Carranza force«.
Those hopes have tieen completely
^is»h«*d by today's developments.
.More than thia, it now seems cer-
tain that Villa is moving freely in
at least a large section of the coun
try supposed to be held by the
troop« of the first chief
in the
last few days he has been variously
reported by General Gavira. the
Carranza commander at Jugrez. at
points along a line reaching north
and south from Galena to Nami
quipa. a distance of about 76 miles.

At 25 cents per dozen, the market
value of this hen is over 820. For
hatching purpoaes. the value is four
time* as great.
A dock of 50 such hens would
provide a living for an ordinary
family, providing the old man would
earn enough to buy their feed. etc. |
