El Paso, Texas, Nov. 20. Parties of
Mexican rebel soldiers were searching
the desert south of Juarez today for the
victims of their battle with the feder
als Monday and Tuesday.
Estimates of the number killed
varied from 300 on both sides to a total
of 1500. The first figure seemed cer
tainly too low. The latter was per
haps an exaggeration. The wounded,
howovor, were fully twice as liurmjrous
as those who perished outright.
Medical attention, surgical supplies
and hospital accommodations were so
inadequate that only those with the
most desperate hurts received the
slightest treatmont. Men with bodies
torn by shrapnel or with crushed and
broken bones cared for themselves as
bost they could, stolidly and uncom
plainingly. El Taso physicians and nurses did
tjlieir best, but woro completely
swamped, and from tlio rebels' appeal
to the Red CroBS no response had yet
been received.
That it will be some time, perhaps
several days, bofore the number of cas
ualties in tho battle could bo deter
mined, with even approximate accu
racy, was evldont.
Thirst Kills Many.
Tho fight raged along a 20-mile front
and throughout the entire length of this
line the opposing forces surged for
ward and backward, in many instances
for several miles at a time, so that
there was an immenso area of desert to
ba searched. Of tho wounded who still
remained on tho field today there was
not much hope of finding any alive.
Thirst alono, if nothing else, It was
believed, would have finished them.
Rebels Will Learn Losses.

The federals, however, fled Into the
desert to the southward, whnro, with
out food or water, and forced, throne"

it was believed they would perish by
scores, more miserably than If they had

San Francisco, Nov. 26. As a result
of last night's conference between sev
eral hundred egg consumers and repre
sentatives of the Sonoma County Egg
Producers' Association, one of two
things will be done, persons who took a
prominent part in the mooting said to
day, to reduce egg price.
If the supervisors can be prevailed
upon to open a municipal cold storage
plant, the producers will ship all their
eggs to it so that commission men will
be deprived of all chances to jugglo
prices, or, the supervisors refusing, the
product;.; .ropuee to form a co-operative
society of their own to build the plant.
Tho proposition was to establish a
direct-from-producer-to-consumer system
freezing out all middlemen.
J. M. Murphy, the speaker of last
night's meeting, summed up the situa
tion thus:
Egg-producers are getting no more
fore eggs now than at any other time.
Prices are high because fresh eggs are
scarce and the commission men have a
monopoly on the cold storage supply.

New Westminster, B. C, Nov. 26.
A daring attempt to rob the British
North America Branch Bank at Agassiz,
B. C, was thwarted yesterday by the
prompt action of Alox. Webslor, a hus
ky citizen of that town. Mr. Webster
was leaving tho bank after having de
posited a sum of money therein when
three men, who had evidontly lust land
ed from the. noon train, rushed at the
entrance. Webster knocked down the
first with a blow of his fist and hurlod
the second back against tho third, his
rapid action preventing the use of the
shotguns with which the men were arm
ed.
Webster then jumped back inside the
I1"1, slammed the door and dropped on
the floor inside. Almost at the same
moment the robbers fired, the shots
piercing the door above Webster's pros
trate body.
Bealizing that the game was up, the
robbers fled, firing a farewell shot that
pierced the big window of the bank,
and vanished In the direction of Harri
son Hot Springs, pursued by a posse of
citizens.
Provincial police later arrived on the
scene and all exits were blocked. The
capture of the amateur robbers is im

holds that those registered under the
