STORM CENTER OF BATTLE OF AGUA PRI ETA

THE Mexican federal forces in the battle of Agua PHeta seemed to have concentrated a good deal of their fire on the bull ring, which is a conspicuous feature of the little town. They did this for the reason that it was occupied by a strong force of insurrectos. After the fight was over the ring gave evidence of the storm of bullets that had deluged it. The towers at the entrance were literally shot to pieces. A rivulet of blood was seen pouring from one of them into the dust of the arena. Other buildings and the grand stand were riddled by missiles from rifles and machine guns. Dead bodies were lying in the ring or against the remnants of the walls.
