GENERAL VILLA SAID TO
BE A NEGRO

A story is going therounds that
Gen. Pancho Villa, the rebel lead
er in Mexico, is a Memphis negro.
The story is that he joined the
United States army at Memphis
under the name of Goldsby. He
was assigned to duty with the
Tenth cavalry. where he became a
sergeant. He served at Fort
Riley, Kansas City, Fort. Gibson,
Oklahoma then Indian Territory
and at Fort Chono. Texas, and
which place he is said to have de-.
serted while in The field scouting
after hostile Indians. Fort Chono
is only a short distance from the
border and not great distance
from chihuahua, Mexico. Colds
by's alleged desertion from the
army might have been followed by
his utilization with Mexicans in
that section of the country, and,
due to his several years of ex.
perience in the army-part of it as
an officer it would have been
easy for him to become a leader OF
a certain class of Mexicans and.
later, of an army.
The newspapers of Texas and
elsewhere have sought to verify
the story, but have not been sue
cessfui. Proofs wanting, but nc
denial of the allegations have
been made.
