yAQU| INDIANS ARE
NOW CHASING VILLA
His Friends Turn Against
Former Leader Who Now
Flees For His Life

Douglas, Ariz., Dec. 6.--While Fran
cisco Villa and his exhausted follow
ers flee through the Sauhauripa dis
trict, 200 miles south of the border to-
day, they are pursued by villa 's former
friend Urbalejo and 200 Yaqui Indians
determined to hunt down the demoraI-
lied rebels and carry the body of their
leader to Carranza headquarters.
This report was made today by Gen
eral M. Dieguez, Carranza military COM
mander Of the states of Sonora, Sinaloa,
Topic and Jalisco, who is here for a
conference with General 0bregon.
Dieguez made the report to Captain
Frederick G.. Knabenshue, Twelfth cav
airy, brother Of Roy Knabenshue, the
aeronaut. Dieguez told Knabenshue
that after Urbalejo and his men sur
rendered at Taniche the Indian offered
his services to the Caranza govern
ment, promising to follow Villa to the
death and bring back his body as proof
Of victory.
General Trujillo, another Villa com
mander, surrendered in person to Die
guez at Hermosillo.
Reports from the fighting zone today
indicated that Villa was "near the end
of his tether.' In addition to the In
dian pursuit, Villa is trying to get
away from General Estrada's Carran-
zistas, who have already beaten and
scattered his rear guard under Colonel
Jesus Beltran. This Beltran is the man
who was reported to have killed the
American Edgar Beane at Cananea. AT
ter scattering Villa Is rear guard, Es-
trada sent back couriers to report that
tho Villista were wore out and falling
dead by the way. Many Of the remain
ing animals are carrying two or three
men, and other fugitives are marching
