Gen. Francisco Villa, leader of the

Villas specialties. He was reared that

have made him a master hand in the
business. To Americans his career is
worth studying in connection with his

Moves in the state of Durango about
the year 1868. He is wholly unedu.

Of age, he was sentenced to term of
Imprisonment for cattle stealing. On
his discharge he settled in the mining
camp Of Guanacevi, where a few
months later he underwent another
sentence of Imprisonment for homi-

the second time he organized band
of robbers, which had their headquar-
