Whether fetferal troops had taken up the cursuit ofthe Villistas could r.ot be learned. , Although previous reports said Villa and several hundred followers who occupied Muzquiz last Tuesday had been ousted Friday and had fled in the direction of the state of .Chi huahua, apparently reliable informa tion is that the rebels did oi leave Muzquiz until Saturday morning. It was stated they headed ip the direc tion of El Pino mountains, leaving word that the money for Hugo's re lease was to be left at Pino Solo, situated in the mountains. Villa did not molest the poorer persons in Muzquiz, confining his looting to the wealthy residents and the principal stores, according to ad vices. He carried off a large supply of blankets, several automobiles, horses and wagons, and great quan tities of food, it was said. Shortage oV food and clothing among his forces is believed here to have been the principal cause of the raid. Comiskey's Offer of $10,000 for Proof of 'Thrown Games' Stands Chicagd, . Cec. 14.
