rama troops were reported waiting.
Eight Bandits Caught.
Another border bandit outrage at
Fabens 26 miles east of Ell Paso,
threw the American population into a
panic. Eight bandits with gunny sacks
full of loot were captured, five by two
soldiers and the others by three Tex
an rangers. All we're turned over to

Report Villa Surrounded.
While the border waited in keen ex-
pectancy for word that United States
soldiers had crossed the International
line, reports flowed in from Mexican
sources to the effect that Mexico's
archbandit had already been surround
ed by the troops of Carranza The
first chief" was apparently making
strenuous efforts to anticipate Ameri-
cans and was reported from several
sources to have concentrated more
than 10000 troops at different points
about Casas Grandes region in Chi
huahua. where Villa is supposed to be.
Two dust-covered automobiles were
towed into Ell Paso from Lanark, Is
miles west on the border. They were
the cars three railroad officials had
attempted to drive from Columbus
here. They were chased by Mexicans
and boarded a train after distancing
their attackers.
Five thousand rounds of rife am
munition and a few old rifles were
seized by the police here in house
in the Mexican quarter. No arrests
were made.
Fears for the 500 American Nor
mon colonists in Chihuahua were re-
newed when a Villa deserter arriving
at Casas Grandes reported the bandit
was marching against them, deter
mined to exterminate the colony.
Villa burned every bridge on the
Mexican Northwestern railroad be-
tween Corralitos and Sabinal. making
it impossible for the train awaiting
the Mormons at Pearsons to come to
the border.
