El Pasoans Look On
While Greaser*8 Fight
El Paso, TexaB, March 8.?Undei
a warm sun, thousands of El Paeoans
clustered on the surrounding mountains
of the pass city today and viewed
the battle between rebel and
federal Mexican troops in the city of i
Jaurez. ?
Hundreds saw the fight from lofty
seats on top of office buildings, and
others had close}* places to the "ringside,"
but only two persons wero
struck by stray bullets, which found
their way north of the Rio Grande.
A wound received in Lidia Robartp?
2, shot.,in the leg while she played
in her front yard, proved fatal to
the infant. Louis Chavez, 6, was
struck in the leg by a large1 Mauser
bullet and is in a hospital, where his
condition is serious.
While it is no particular novelty
to El Pasoans to witness rebel demonstrations
across the Rio Grande,
the spectacle today attracted a great
attendance. El Paso business was
practically at a standstill as shop
clerks and girls deserted counters for
points of vantage on the higher
buildings. ,
Those who witnessed other battles
in Jaurez from El Paso said the warfare
seen today compared with the
Pancho Villa battle of about ten i
years ago. Maneuvering on the
streets today could easily be followed
with field glasses.
For a time it was a precarious
thing for an El Pasoan to be on the ]
streets. Bullets crashed into buildr
ings several time^ but there was a
decided tendency oif the part of spectators
to risk being shot rather than
miss seeing what was going on.
Several narrow escapes were recorded.
Two clerks barely escaped
death when a bullet crashed through
a huge plate-glass window, lodging
near their counter. Two girls, Eliz
abeth Kaler and Lillian Watwins, 1
calmly continued their work, refusing 1
to desert their posts.
The First National bank building,
13-story structure, was peppered by '
bullets,
A bullet pierced the car of an
American army officer that had been ]
parked on the El Paso end of the
international bridge, and some bul
lets flew ten or more blocts into the
city. ,
The shooting became more desul- i
tory as the rebels slowly spanned the 1
entire city. Shortly before noon
Brigadier General Moseley crossed
the international bridge and confer- <
red with the federal commander,
General Ramos, asking permission to 1
cross the federal lines to warn Gen.
Miguel Valles, commanding the rebels,
against firing across the river.
General Ramos suggested to the
American general that the- federal '
position was such that it seemed
hopeless to continue the battle; that
he would be willing to quit if the
rebels would cease firing and consent 1
either to grant guaranties of safety
or permit the federals to be interned
on the American side.
Brigadier General Moseley then '
walked to the rebel headquarters in
the Mesa hotel, where he met Gen- ernl
Valles, who accompanied him
to the customs house, which tke
rebels took after a brief skirmish ,
late in the morning. Here the details
Of capitulation were discussed, and a ;
truce called. (
Gen M. J. iLimon, one of the Jau- ,
rez military commanders, narrowly
escaped being shot when rebels tired
with a machine gun from the top of
a hotel building while the geaeral
was fiding on a caboose. One of the
trainmen was killed, but General 1
Limon was uninjured.
All morning the federal force, including
about 50 soldffs and citizen
volunteers and Fifth cavalry'
men, held the line along the river. There
were frequent outbursts of
rifle and machine gun fire, interspersed
with bugle calls.
On the international bridge and at
the ends of El Paso streets meeting
the Rio Grande, large crowds braved
chance; bullets to witness the show.
The occasional whine of a bullet sent
scores scurrying behind buildings-.for
shelter.
After the tide of battle ebbed,
crowds of Mexicans thronged the
streets of Juarez. Rebel officers took
charge of affairs with the retreat of
the federals to a dyke at the river
and issued strict orders against loot- ing.
Conditions were orderly. Saloons
were closed, and business was
suspended.
Conference Delegates Chose*At
the auarterly conference of the
Lyttieton Street Methodist church
which was held last Sunday delegates
were elected to the ^strict conference
which is to be held at Heath
Sarinas early in Mag. The chosen

World's Record Broken
By British Driver
Speedway, Daytona Beach,
la, March 11. In # (laming strcum
of auperapeed, Maj. H. o. Segrave,
famous British race track driver, today
set a new world's speed record
for automobiles when ho sent his
poweiful Golden Arrow roaring over
the hard, wave lapped Ocean Speedof/urlVr
ut.,the tremendous speed of
281.8624b miles an hour.
Driving his beautiful 12 cylinder
machine at a dazzling pace, Major
Sograve eclipsed by 23.81 miles the
former record of 207.55 set here last
,?*** by Keech, of Philadelphia
in the 86 cylinder Triplex owned by
J. M. White. The new mark also
surpassed by 28 miles an hour the
record of 203 which Segrave set hero
in 1027, with his Sunbeam Special.
. ar down the coast, the roar of the
giant machine could be heard and the
crowd stood motionless, fearing that
at any minute the speeding racer
might go out of control and plunge
into the ocean or plough through the.
crowds that lined the course. With
u mighty roar, the car flashed by the
grandstand at the start of the official
mile, gaining 8Uch tremendous speed
that it seemed the machine fairly
skimmed over the hard packed sands.
1 raveling at such a fast clip, the
machine appeared like a blur before
the eyes of the awe-stricken spectators,
as it sped down the course and
tn v -top four Tv?f?? j*wry. j
fast was it going that it virtually was'
impossible to dfrfeinguish the driver in
the cockpit. ~ t ^?
Physically exhausted from the
strain they had been under during
Segrave's epochal run, the spectators
sank back in their seats in the
grandstand and marveled at the daring
driver. When his speed was announced
a wild cheer, which lasted
nearly a minute, rose from the stand.
