clared emphatically tonight.
After two days of almost contin
uous fighting, Villa has been drive
from the vicinity of the city and ha
left for the Northwest with the rem
nants of his command, they said.
The Carranza general reporte
killed in fighting is said to be Gen
oral Gandara, a former follower o
Villa. Among the dead picked up o
the battlefield west of the city toda
was the body of General Julio Aco?
ta, one of Villa's principal command
ers, the announcement said.
Villa was reported late today t
have fled to the mountainous dis
trict of Guererro with the remainde
of his men, abandoning his train?
kbut this was not verified in Juarea
The whereabouts of General Mur
guia's division, which has been ad
vancing toward Chihuahua City fron

when General Murguia was expectei
to reinforce General Trevlno.

bandits and completed their rout.
The Villa forces (led toward the
I northwest and are believed to be out
? of touch with the remaining Villa
commands.
Among the wounded todav was!
, Gov. Francisco Trevino. brother ol '
General Trevino, who was shot in the
hand. Two officers of Gen. Trevino's,
