Be
El Paso, Tex., Jan. 19. General
Carranza's order to exterminate
bandit3 and the public exhibition of
the bodies of those captured and ex

are retreating farther into the moun
tains. Enrique Cisneros, a Villista leader,
will be the next to die. His corpse
will be added to the display of bodies
at Jaurez.
Carranza officials said they would
be satisfied only when they displayed
Villa's bullet-ridden corpse in public.
Villa is said to have taken refuge in
his old haunts among the Durang
mountains.
Some witnesses of the executions
of Jose Rodriguez and Baca Valles
say that the bandits pleaded on their
knees for their lives. Rodriguez, once
dashing leader of Villa's cavalry, was
shot as he crept on the ground.
The rcoorted murder of two more
Americans near Torreon is uncon
firmed.

Los Angeles, Cab, Jan 19. Heavy
rains have washed the big Hemet
dam in the San Jucinto mountains.
Should it give away, scores of families
would be endangered and miles of
ranch and orange lands devasted.
The irrigation dam below Yuma,
Ariz., was blown up today to release
floodwaters that were overflowing the
great Roosevelt reservoirs.
Other dams in southern California
and sections of Arizona are overflow
ing or weakening.
Flood warnings have been sent out
in the path of possible disasters, and
hundreds of families have moved to
places of safety.
Six known deaths are attributed to
the floods. Three others are reported.
Damage is estimated at $3,000,030.
One hundred and fifty prisoners
were in the San Bernardino jail's steel
cage when the flood swept out the
foundation. A turnkey arrived just in
time to save them.
