ALDANA EXECUTED
Shot By Rebels at chihushua-Shifted Sympathy to Efuerta

FL PASO, Dec. I3.--Ramon Sanchez AIdana, formerly of Fl Paso and one of the original "redflaggers' who fought under the banner of Francisco Madero for the rights of the Mexican people against the reign of Porfirio Diaz. was summarily executed in the city of Chi huahua Thursday morning by order of General Francisco Villa, whose constitutionalist troops have occupied the state capital since Tuesday.
 Refugees who brought this infor- nation to the border say this is the only execution which has been or dered by the rebel chieftain since the occupation of Chihuahua city by his forces.
 The offense committed by Aicana. say refugees from the interior. was that he had changed his sympathies and aligned himself with those who were fighting to keep Victorian Huerta in power in the Mexican re- public. He was not actively engaged in fighting against the constitution
