DOUGLAS, Nov. 2--The fighting for
the possession of Agua Prieta between
the forces of General Villa, and the
Carranza troops raged all day yester
day and ended with the city in the
grasp of the so'diers of the recognized
guns of the enemy. Many of Villa's
Iterate charges on the barricades
trown up by the defenders, but in each
cases was thrown back suffering
heavily front the rifle fire and machine
gune of the enemy. Many of Villa’s
men surrendered, and they all ap
peared to be suffering from thirst and
hunger and told tales of the privations
; which the men under Villa were en
during. The situation is acute and
unless Villa succeeds in taking the
town within the next twenty-four
hours he must either retreat or cross
1 the American border and surrender
to the American authorities. During
the battle many bullets flew across the
border and while the United States
soldiers had warned all peoy/e to
stay away from the vicinity five per
persons were wounded on the Ameri
can side, two of them being regular
soldiers.
DOUGLAS. Nov. 2—It is unofficially
reported that the casualties of Car
ranzaites troops numbered two hun
dred and fifty. Villa retired leaving
many of his dead and wounded on the
ground close to the Carranza barri
cades which they had almost reached
when the terrible fire of the defenders
forced Villa's men to break and run.
Th men un<|er Villa are suffering
from thirst and Villa (frew off to get
water for his soldiers, promising to
return to the attack.
