LINO RETUHN8,
4 .era CrtiM, Dec. 30.—fly
breakfast time New Year's day,
er soon after, barring unfor-
Men Incidents, John Lind,
President Wilson's personal 4»
representative, and the presl
dent himself, will be talking
4 faee to face, about the inter
national problems arising out
of the Mexican revolution.--
Lind left here at six o'clock
Tuesday night-abroad the Ches

'Presidio,. Texas, Dec. 30.—A battle
between the five thousaud rebels un­
der General Ortega and the nortliern
division of {lie Mexican federal army,
entrenched arOvnd Ojinaga, Mex.,
across —border from here was still
in frofres?, when 'darkness fell last
night,
The forces were engaged for thirty
Silrhouis- alidmany werKjkllled and
wounded on both sides. No bullets
came across the border.
Ortega, executing flank movements,
kept steadily on tbe offensive, gain
ing foot by foot tbe approaches to
the federal stronghold. The federals,
crippled and disorganized by the first
rebel onslaught, which drove in their
oufapts, clung to their hillside tren­
ches where the leaders decided to
make the last stand.
The.federals rallied somewhat from
the pan- which seized many om
with the first volleys of the rebels at
day light, and put up a plucky fight
against the heavy odds although their
losses were heavy both from wounds
and desertions, many wadlug through
the river to the American side. It is
impossible even to approximate the
number of dead or wounded.
Fifteen federal wounded, who wad­
ed the river, were allowed to remain
but several .B.coirtf'pf unbounded fed­
eral deserts ^wore' "disarmed, and
sent back across the border.
'Last night althougli the rebels ttf*
peared to have much advantage,, the
outcome of.jtbe final struggle was not
positively defined^ the federals with
eleven generals, all that is left of
Huerta's miliary control of the far
north, still fy^vingto .K "win success
against apparently \ip,plee88 odds or
to retreat. .trJut .~.is
That the federals will surrender
is improvable, because Ortega is ex­
plicitly ordered'to execute the so-call­
ed volunteers and their commanders.
Nei&er of the. opposing forces are
provided with hospital facilities and
the wounded were left where they
fell.
'Washington, 1). C.—In response to

'-There was a rumor about Manfoa
yesterday that Walter Part^fn aM
W. H. Stutsman had joined in making
a complaint before the federal an*'
thorities against 0. M. Hatcher. of
Grand Forks, and M. N. Hatcher,, of
Fargo, charging them with having
used the mails to dtfraiud.
The action is
Baid
to have grown
out of an.alleged. ett^ri.aiwLbe'pwrt oi'
the Hatchers to gather
enough from well-known
mensupportabout
tlie state to consolidate the Forum
and Courier-News of Fiargo some
months ago and to build up' fib.inde­
pendent daily paper,^ whose. tiRUpioa
was to be to advocate the preceples
of progressive republicanism -in Uie
state. Notes were taken from about
thirty men and in amounts rangUlg
from $200 to 1,000 each, and these
notes were afterward sold to bulks
in Chicago and Fargo, and suits have
been commenced to collect on them,
but the suits have been contested
and in one or more instances have
been decided against tbe signers.
The Mandun compla}ps»tg,. it. stieips,
gave 'checks for their' conlYfbuUcntiS
for stock in the consolidation, which
were cashed at the bank, and they
have received neither the promised-,
stock or ~ie return of their money.
It is said that considerable corres­
pondence* has passed betwejen: the.
Hatchers and the victims and it Is
upon this that the complaints are
based. It is understood that O. .It.
Hatcher has gone to South America
to spend the winter and to give the
mattr time to clearify a little.
The rumors could not be verified
last evening as it was learned that
Mr. Parkin had gone to Texas on a
cattle deal and Stutsman was
away from home on a business trip*
In case action is. not taken in the
ifederal courts |it is rumored thai.
charges of obtaining money under
false pretenses will be the basis for
the Hatchr's prosecution in the state
courts.
