Almost within the grasp of Ameri

have slipped the net closing about him

whereabouts, but the telt graph wires

brought no definite word.

Mexican reports had it that Villa

and another band of his followers were

moving on Chihuahua City with the

intention o f getting the garrison of

the dc facto government there to re

travelers, were scouted by Mexican

Car Dynamited and Tracks

Blown Up at Wilkes-Barre

Wilkes-Barre. Pa.. April 3.—Rioting

in the Wyoming Valley gave way to

dynamiting outrages yesterday, when,

according to officials of the AVilkes-

Barre Railway Company, 75 pounds of

explosives were used in wrecking a car

and the roadbed on the Harvey's Txike

division and in blowing up the tracks

on the Hudson branch, of the com

pany's lines. Dynamite caps were

placed on the rails of the South Main

street division last night, but the dam- ,

age was not serious.

Dynamite caps on the South Main '

street line in this city caused eonsid- !

erable disorder, but little damage was

done.

Guards have been doubled in out- >

side towns to prevent further dyna- i

miting outrages on the part of strike

sympathizers. While cars were not

operating on all divlsons yesterday,

because of flooded conditions, the full

State police force and the scores of

Sheriff's deputies are expected to be

able to reduce lawlessness to a mini
