New Attack on Ojeda Planned.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 17, 1913:
    DOUGLAS, Ariz,. March 16.— State troop leaders who were defeated yesterday below Naco, conferred to-day in Agua Prieta, deciding to return against Gen. Ojeda's victorious Federals who remained in Naco. Col. Elias Calles and Pedro Bracamente, who commanded the defeated Constitutionalistas, arrived early to-day at the border town opposite this city with an escort of one hundred men, leaving the major part of the routed State troops in the mountains fifteen miles east of Naco.
    Probably the fatalities of yesterday's fight never will be known. Col. Calles asserts the State forces lost only four killed and four wounded. Sixteen slain Constitutionalistas, however, have been found by rescue parties in the field, and probably the actual loss to the defeated forces was great. The Federals pressed closely on the heels of the fleeing troops for nearly two miles, their artillery streaming the killed and wounded over a great space of country.
    "We will attack Naco simultaneously, assisted by a strong force sent from Nogales by Gen. Obregon," Col. Calles announced to-day. He had been arranging by telegraph the campaign against Ojeda with the rebel Commander. "We were taken unawares yesterday," explained the defeated insurgent leader. "Our men were not prepared for battle, and we had no chance to defend our positions. There was nothing to do but retreat.
    "Ojeda has no way of escaping, and we guarantee he will be a prisoner with his men and munitions of war before the end of this week," Col. Calles continued. "We are fighting for a Constitutional Government in Mexico, and a little battle like that at Naco yesterday will not matter."
    Callas and Biacamonte arrived here with their followers exhausted and almost frozen. The proof of defeat greatly excited the Agua Prieta garrison and sympathizers on the Arizona side. Secret junta meetings along the Arizona side of the border indicate that strong reinforcements of recruits will participate in the next campaign around the westward border port.
    Dr. F. W. Randall, the Douglas physician who was lost to sight when attending the wounded in the field below Naco, arrived here to-day. His automobile was wrecked, and he was compelled to take a horse proffered by a State soldier and ride to Agua Prieta with the defeated rebels.
