Big Car Abandoned by Bandit Chief
During Operations Before
Chihuahua City.
Chihuahua City, Nov. 25. (By Way
of Courier to Marfa, Tex., Nov. 2.
Francisco Villa's automobile, which
was being used by him to direct his
'campaign against the Carranza troops.
was struck by shell fire today and
was abandoned near Fresno, south
west of the city.
The shell holes and bullet marks
were plainly seen on the sides of the
big automobile when it .was found on
the battlefield after Villa abandoned
it and rode away, uninjured, on horse
back. The battle today started soon after
the telegraphic communication with
Juarez was cut. The wire went down
at 10 a. m. and the battle started
shortly before 11 a. m. and was rag
ing by 11:30 a. m. The bandits" at
tack covered the entire southern front
from east to west, with flanking op
erations to the east and west.
Fighting in th City.
The most desperate fighting oc
curred on Zarca avenue, within the
city. The bandits threw their best
equipped forces against the entrench
ments which had been thrown up
across this street and street fighting
followed. The Villa forces made every
possible effort to take these entrench
ments, which were the key to the de
fenses of the city proper.
Ths de facto infantry met these
charges with counter charges and the
battle raged back and forth in this
narrow adobe-lined street until the
Villa bandits were driven out of the
mouth of the avenue onto the plains,
where they were raked with machine
gun fire from the house tops, and the
artillery fire, which had supported ef-
nan
u unit
HI I

rati
fectively the infantry efforts.
Ready for Attack.
General Trevino is prepared for an
other general assault, although the
indications today were the enemy
would not attack again. However,
General Trevino is not 1 elinquishing
his vigilance and he is prepared for
a surprise attack from any one of the
four quarters. At the time this mes
sage was dispatched by courier there
were no banuits to oe seen west of
the city. General Carlos Ozuna's
cavalry charges in this direction com
pletely freed this sector of the Villa
foriws, which have been driven olf to
the southwest a distance estimated at
five miles. The Villa troops attacked
repeatedly and with great daring, but
were driven off by the de facto forces
and the force of their blows were
spent against the first line entrench
ments.
The? losses on both sides are report
ed to be heavy, as the fighting during
the past twenty-four hours has been
much closer in range and some of it
has been almost hand-to-hand en
counters, as in the Zarco avenue as
sault.
In "Xo. Man's Land."
The wounded who fell outside of the
city could not be rescued from the "no
man's land' beyond the first line
trenches because of the firing by both
the bandits and the government
forces. It is expected to send rescue
parties out under cover of night to
night to bring in the wounded and
bury the dead. The wounded wrho fell
within the city are being cared for at
the municipal hospital, which is in
command of Colonel Martinez, the
staff surgeon of General Trevino.
Women are serving as volunteer
nurses in this and other, hospitals of
the city
The troops on both the bandit and
government sides appear very tired
after three days of almost constant
fighting. The government forces,
however, are in good spirits and eager
for more fighting. They celebrated
the victories which thev claim over
the Villa bandits during the past
fighting as they huddled around their
camp fires in the first line trenches.
A force of cavalry has been sent out
from Guerrero, west of here, to pur
sue Rodrigo Quevedo and Murguia
brothers, who have been operating in
the country west of Chihuahua City.
Associated Press "Scoop."
Juarez, Nov. 26. The Associated
Press furnished the Carranza rommnn-
ders in Juarez tonight with the first

The Berlin embassy notified the de

Ollic-ials say it is unbelievable that

Official reports are lacking, but the
state department said diplomatic cus
tom and courtesy would undoubtedly
be followed in this case. The United

for safe conduct for the new envoy,
who replaces the late Dr. Duinba, who
has notified the allied governments

A VERY iOOEBfl
For several years we h
ave admired
the beautiful farm home of Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Tritch, .nbout three miles
west of Plattsmouth, it being whr-t we
have always considered one of the
most beautifully and conveniently lo
acted of any in this part of the county,
but have never had the pleasure of
visiting the home until on imitation
of Ed. Tritch we called at his home
Saturday a. m. to look at the new
light plant recently installed there.
We had intended to mention this as a
mere item of news but after noting
the simplicity of operating this plant
together with its efficiency and econ
iijy of running, we became as enthu
siastic over the results furnished .y
this little machine as Mr. and Mrs.
Tritch were, and concluded therefore
to make tin's an article on Illuminatie-i:
as applied to the modernization of
homes iri the country.
Entering the house we for a moment
imagined we were in town, for here
we?o :ir:e Wtiic light Jfxturcs in each
room, which at the touch of a but
ton gave light, running water in the
!;;tc!;en rnd bath in fact every con
venience of the city home. Upon ask
ir.g where all this power and light
. smc from we were coi. ducted to the
' n semen t, where we were again en
lightened as to the origin of all this
Upon being shown this modern "Al
hw'in" we could ha.dly believe thnt
si'ch a small piece of machinery (less
than half thr size of a kite'ien range)
could do all that we saw it accomplish.
Touching a lever, awoke the self
starter which started the thing going.
The starter by the way is the same
make as we have n our Baiek car.
The plant consists of a siwrle unit,
air-cooled gas engine, generator and
switchboard all in one, with lf glass
cell batteries, in which er.eugh juice
is stored to last them three or four
days. The engine will run about five
hours on a gallon of gasoline it runs
equally as well with kerosine a little
ball in the pilot cell tells when to run
the engine ard a clock hand on the
meter on the front of the plant keeps
time with the generator so that when
the batteries are fu!l the engine is
automatically stopped.
In addition to furnishing light and
pumping water we wore told this plant
would furnish power to operate
milking machine', churn the butter,
wash ths clothes, run the sewing n a
chine, vacuum cbar.er, in fact any
small piece of machinery around the
farm. In this way it actually can be
made to do a good manv of your
holes.
After inspecting the modern heat
ing plant, Mr. Tritch tcck us into his
cave, which i.-- -i brick and' is
about fifteen feet under ground.
Needless to say it wp.s electric-lighted
and when we p-azeci around at the
bins of potatoes, apples, cabbage am
otho supplies, together with the hun
crecis of jars of good things to oat,
canned during the summer, we could
only remark surely the farmer has tis
lo-.vn folks bested in every way.
Mr. Tritch showed us through his
barn, which is about 100 yards from
the house, also lit up by electricity.
We then inspected some elegant red
hegs, with short noses and straight!
tails, housed in a modern sun-lighted
hog house. Also looked at some very
fine :-eed corn for next year s planting.
Driving back to town we mentally
compared the farm of the past with
the up-to-date present farm we had
just left. Where the house-wife may
equip herself with all sorts of elec
trical equipment which can be attached
to any electric-light socket, all sorts
of utensils for toasting bread, making
co'rec, she can sweep with an electric
vacuum c!eanr, iron with ar electric
iron, on hot days an electric fan will
keep a cool breeze circulating through
her house, a motor can be attached to
cream separator, churn, washing
machine, etc., and relieve her of much
dreary, back-breaking work.
Coneniences on the farm? No
town house can beat that and the farm
house wife no longer need envy the
luxuries of her town friends. The city
woman visiting in the country finds
comfort and luxury, all the con
veniences to which she is accustomed
to at home, in addition to those pro
vided by nature.
The children in the modern country
home do not seek to escape it, they
are proud of it, for they know there
are none better.
We almost forgot tc) mention the
name of the plant Mr. Tritch is so
proud of, it is called "Deleo-Light'r
ard is made by the Domestic En
gineering Co., Dayton, O., and sold
by Isy Rosenthal, 538 So. 25th Avenue,
Omaha, Neb.
