sult of his recent victories in the
vicinity of Satevo, to about 1,000 men,
attacked General Elizondo in the
vicinity of Santa Ysabel and forced
the Carranza leader, who had about
600 troops, to fall back toward Chi
huahua City, according to private dis
patches here tonight. The Carranza

while the Villa losses were said to
have been less. After, the engage
ment Villa seized a freight train on
the Mexico Northwestern, which he
set his men converting into a troop
train. '
A part of his force, according to the
dispatches, was sent north from the
line of the railroad apparently on a
scouting expedition.
1 Military authorities here, while ad
mitting that all their information in
dicates that Villa is less than 100
miles south and east of El Valle, the
southmost base of the American ex
peditionary forces, manifested no ap
prehension that he plans to attack
any ; of the United States detach
ments. , - f
Numerous rumors of revolutionary
juntas on the American side of the
border have been current recently
and at least two small forces of Mex
icans have left Juarez with the an
nounced intention of joining Villa. -
Hipolita Villa, brother of Francisco
Villa and his financial agent in Juarez
in his period of power, is now in the
custody of the United States author
ities, it was learned here today.

GAYE MAN HAS BEEN
TAKENBY SHERIFF
Lived on Berries and Grapes
and Frightened Women
North of riorenoe.
HIS DIET IS NOW CHANGED
He led the officers to thest quaint
shelters, but offered no explanation.
That when he demanded food at
farm houses and was offered bread,
he insisted upon being served with
fried chicken and that when refused
he abused the donors, is charged in
complaints at the sheriff's office. His
right arm hangs limp at his side and
is being attended by the county physician.
After terrorising farmers' wives
north of Florence for more than two
weeks John Gonsales, twentieth cen
tury caveman and exponent of the
simple life, is now the guest of
Sheriff McShane in the Douglss coun
ty jail held on a charge of vagrancy.
His diet of grapes, apples, stray
chickens, herbs and berries has been
changed to pork and beans and the
health-giving viands of the county
bs.stile.
After trudging through the woods
all day and a part of the night Deputy
Sheriff Muagrave and the Florence
marshal found the Mexican wanderer
in a- gully clad only with a handker
chief about his loins. His, ragged
clothing was hanging about an old
well where he had given the gar
ments the weekly washing. .
When accosted by the officers the
Mexican meekly submitted to arrest
and at once refused to talk. It was
only when an interpreter was called,
to the court house that Gonzales told
a portion of his story to deputies.
Broke Hit Arm.
'According to his rambling admis-i
sions he is 45 years om ana nss oeen
in the United States eight years work
ing at a railway laborer. While work
ing at Lincoln he fell and fractured
the imtller bones of his right arm.
From Lincoln he wandered to the
vicinity of Florence with his right
arm in splints and bandages. He has
since existed by begging handouts
fronv farm houses and by picking
fruit and berries in the vicinity where
he was located by officer. The man
was unarmed, but carried a huge club.
Three tepees, made from twigs and
leaves, and located on strategic look
out points, provided shelter lor him.

Maxwell motor can have
demountable rime and the
tame size tires on both
front and rear wheels.
P.OTK DKTHCXC
REMEMBER these important features, because
they are not to be found on some of the lighter cars.
Maxwell cars have 3 in. tires all around This is a
generous size. : The tires are not overtaxed They last
longer and make riding easier.
Tires of one size mean that you have to carry only
one size casing and one size tube.
Demountable rims, of course, are recognized as the
best They are on all good cars. Don't buy any car
without demountable rims. If you do, you'll regret it
These two features along with the other complete
and up-to-date equipment; the economy and proved
endurance of the Maxwell, make it the greatest auto
mobile value in the world today.
