COLUMBUS, N. M., March 9.—-Five hundred Villa bandits
attacked this point at.4:3o this morning, killed a number of
civilians, men and women, and had possession of the town for an
hour and a half. Driven off by three troops of the Thirteenth Cav-
alry, they retreated at o o'clock, leaving part of the town in
flames. .
A large number of Mexicans were killed. Their bodies dot-
. .ted streets where they had been posted picking off Americans
as they emerged pell-mell from houses and hotels. There appear-
ed to be no wounded. Several guests were burned to death in
the Central Hotel. which was one of the first buildings fired by
Villa's men. ‘
. Mexican bandits standing outside the flaming building shot
‘ down A. L. Ritchie, proprietor of the hotel, and W. R. Walker, a
guest, as they attempted to dash out of the door. Both were dead
when picked up later. '
C. C.-Miller, owner of a drug store, was shot as he tried to
enter the door of the Hoover Hotel.
Mr. and Mrs. Milton James and j. S. Dean, merchant. were
later added to the list of Americans killed.
The Hoover Hotel, an adobe structure, protected a score of
cowering women and children who remained in the rooms while
_.a bowling mob of. bandits surged through the surrounding
‘ streets. ' ' ' ' ‘» ’
Although they first attacked the camp of the Thirteenth CaV;
..alry, it suffered little. although a number of American soldiers
were killed and wounded and a number of cavalry horses ridden
off by the Mexicans as they fled back toward Mexico after day,-
i—- light. '

Otltl Men Along Twelve
Mile Front
As a result of yesterday's oper-
fations, the French line west of
‘lthe Mouse in the Verdun battle
now runs from Bethincourt, by
Corbeaux Wood and the north-
;em part of Cumieres. to the up-
per end of Cotc de l’Oie, and is
thus in advance of the first line
iof resistance constituted by po-
sitions
running from Mort
Homme hill to the south of '
Cumieres. This is considered as
a considerable immanent ’ill
the French position in that sec-
tion.
The faith of the French public
in the solidity of the line west
of the Meuse is regarded as‘ jus-
tified by the results of the first
day’s serious attack. The whole
front yesterday was copiously
shelled by the German heavy ar-
tillery, but the German infantry -\
attacked only against positions
at Bethincourt; on the left of the
more westerly of the two
mmwbotmwhichtbe French
line runs. Wave after wav of
densely, packed masses dashed.
forward. but the Frenchman, hav.
ing emerged from shelter as soqs
as the preliminary bombardment
had ceased, directed such an ef-
fective fire from carefully placed
machine guns, accompanied by
fire from rifles and 75-.millilnetrc ,
guns that after struggling bold-
ly again and again, the assailants
finally’gave up and retired. .
Encouraged by their successful
resistance. the Frenchmen
back Corbeaux Wood, which’
they had lost the day before. It
was considered that the honors
of the day, rested with the'
French, but. the situation remain-
ed undecided.
In conjunction with the attack
to the west of the river, the, Get. f '
lmans made another determined .
effort to carry Douaumont Pla-
teau, but only succeeded in fl!‘_
toring as it was on Monday, with.
out accomplishing any new prog-
ress. At the same time the Get-
mans increased the vigor of their
action in the Woevre district.
When the operations began, the
EGermans had, _
,Fresnes, the Fifth Landwehr Di-
vision of the Fifth Corps, and
the Third Bavarian Corps, in all
I60,ooo men spread out along a
twelve-mile front. The captures! -
Fresnes enabled them to advance .
and to shorten their lines to set!-
en miles. Fresnes had for some
days been partially enveloped by
the Germans who,
on the north and Charnplon, on
lthe south, had rendered the posi-
tion a difficult one to hold. It ‘
was finally taken with heavy‘
,loss by the Germans.
