VILLA ROUTS ENEMY

CARRANZA TROOPS ATTEMPT TO TAKE GENERALS AT MEET. Leader's Men Lying In Walt for Carranzalstas When They Attacked— Sixty Are Killed. El Paso, Tex., Oct. 30.- —Carranza troops, intent upon surrounding and capturing the generals of the division of north, Villa’s representatives, attempted to swoop down upon the convention city of Aguas Calientes, but were outmaneuvered by the troops held in readiness for such a move by General Villa, and a battle occurred at San Gil, 22 miles east of Aguas Calientes.

Sixty of the Carranza troops were killed and the remainder were forced to retreat toward San Luis Potosi.

General Villa has feared just such a move for some time and this has been his principal reason for remaining at Guadalupe instead of staying at the convention city. It is understood he has another force south of Aguas Calientes. El Paso, Tex., Oct. 30. —-Four more trainloads of Villa troops have been sent from Torreon northward into the Parral district to assist in the extermination of General Maclovlo Herrera. a Carranza leader.
