Long Expected Attack On Agua Prieta In Progress
The long awaited federal assault on Agua Prieta began at 6:30 AM with fierce musketry. Federal machine guns swept the line, targeting rebels and Douglas adobe houses as residents watched from shelter. By 10:30 AM firing subsided, many residents driven to Sixth Street, two American noncombatants wounded, and casualties mounting on both sides. Washington sought assurances from Mexico to prevent recurrence while Sen. Stone urged a full Senate inquiry into border dangers. In Chihuahua region, 40+ insurrectos killed, 100+ wounded in battles near Santa Clara canyon as General Madero’s forces attempted to intervene.

Hatching by electricity proves very successful
Spokane reports a ranch near Spokane successfully hatched nine healthy chicks from seventy three eggs using a home built electric incubator. The test hatched 80 percent and plans call for placing 1,300 eggs on incubators once the apparatus is installed. The device uses German silver wiring and a mercury contact to regulate temperature at 103 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit with an Un derwriters fuse as a safety shutoff. The hatchlings are described as normal sized and unusually lively.
