THIRD COLUMN OF u. S. TROOPS

bespeaking lives spent in the open,
these scouts form what is said to be the
most picturesque group of men in the
expeditionary force. .-
Military men admit that upon their
knowledge of the district in which
Villa is reported fleeing rests much of
the hope for the capture of the bandit

Villa drove from their homes and their
property in Mexico, that are leading
the American columns to the water
holes and the hiding places in the
mountains in which the bandit and his
followers might seek to evade the
American pursuit.
That more villa followers than the
seventy-nine already accounted for
were killed in the running engagement
following the raid on Columbus was
indicated in the discovery of three adj
ditional bodies reported here today by
H. K. Lennon, a ranchman. Mr. Lem
mon asserted that one of the bodies is
clad in the uniform of lieutenant, and
that they were found lying just north
of the boundary three miles south of

VILLA CHASE LONG ONE,
BUFFALO BILL THINKS
Veteran Scout Says Bandit Must Be
Trailed, as in Indian
Warfare.

Belief that Villa eventually will be
captured. but that it will be long
and trying task, is expressed by Col.
William F. Cody. Buffalo BILL the
oldest living American scout, who is in
Washington for few days. The only
way to capture Villa, in Col. Cody's
opinion. is by trailing, as the Mexican
bandit is employing Indian tactics. He
says hs thinks the aeroplanes will not
prove effective in locating the fugitive.
villa is in his own country. the
country he knows, and this is a great
advantage to him and a disadvantage
to his pursuers," said Col Cody. villa
is an Indian and he has the Indians
instincts and tricks. He will doubtless
employ the Indian style of scattering
to elude our soldiers, and this is in
most cases very battling"
Pursuit of Tall Bull.
In describing his own experiences in
trailing Indians and in illustration of
the tactics he thinks villa will employ,
Col. Cody says:
zone of the most difficult scouting ex-
petitions in which / ever participated
was in 1859. Gen. Sheridan was order
ed to pursue and capture Tall Bull, a
Sioux Indian, who was at the mead OF a
band of about 800 Indians, mongrel
set of fellows, renegades from differ
ent tribes and all lawless to the limit
They were known as dog soldiers, and
they had been preying upon the Ameri-
can settlements in eastern Colorado for
years. / presume Tall Bull and his fol-
lowers had been on the warpath for
fifteen years before it was finally de-
i 1tHra IN
order given, Gen. Sheridan set out after
Tall Bull In his flight the Indian cap
tured and took with him number of
white women. In those days the wom-
en- knew something about leaving

clothing to bushes and in other ways

Horse Had Crooked Foot.
Tall Bull used the scattering style
of flight No sooner would we come
upon a camp than We found a dozen
different trails. Finally. after long
chase, / discovered the print of

decided that this was the tran OF IaiI
RuII and after following it for 200
miles we came up with the Indian and
his followers, who, after scattering,
had rejoined. 1t was July II, 1859, that
we found them, and the battle OIL sum
NIT Spring was fought, which wiped
out the entire band.
In explaining why he believes the ar
scouts will fail in effort to locate the
bandit Col. Cody says
1T believe the only way to catch Villa
in. Mexico will be by trailing. The
aeronIanes will not get him, for when
villa and his band are scattered they

lions with the bandit chiefs army. love

left the Villa forces at Guzman after
the Columbus massacre and quit them
in good faith. / know that Villa was
in the United States at the time of the
Santayzabel murders, although he made
a speech at Chihuahua a few days be-
fore. In that speech he made the threat
of death to the gringoes, but left i'm
mediately to carry out his plans to
force Intervention by the United States.
He was recognized and pursued in AL
buqurque, N. NJ, but succeeded in elud-
ing his pursuers. The attack on Column
bus was his latest step in the plan to
force intervention.
ut is my best judgment that Villa is
near San Diego, Cal, and that in a
short time he will be in Spain. 1 am
aware that he has been reported at
many locations in Mexico. but l am con-
WINGED that those who thought they
saw him at these places either did not

U. S. Troops in Peril.
I'm my opinion, the United States
soldiers are in great peril. In the
Villa army there is a staff Of the best
physicians. who will be able to scatter
poison along the route of Uncle Sans
army. which will mean sure death.
Cattle Will be inoculated with deadly
germs and in every place where there
is drinking water death will Turk for
those who partake of 1t. Villas band
is headed for the mountains in the
state of Sonora.
1T is the intention to go high into
the hills. and even if the United States
soldiers should escape poison. which
] am sure they will encounter, a long,
dreary campaign is ahead of them.
They have the disadvantage of trying
to find guerrillas familiar with every
inch of the country and who are
equipped with ammunition and arms
sufficient to make a most desperate
stand.
II fear that it may be repetition of
the battle of Chocolate Pass, in the
Sierra Madre mountains, where four
years ago the forces of Diaz were
moved down in battle. In that fight 1
was in charge of the machine gun
squad of the Madre force. 1t was only
necessary to rake the mountain sides
with rain of bullets. This created
an alkaH FOG which choked and
smothered 1900 of the enemy, few of
them ever having been struck by bull
lets.
Yaquis Will Help Villa.
so, now, with the aid of Yaqui In
dians, which Villa never has had be-
fore, the perils of the United States
troops are increased. The Yaquis were
not enemies of Villa any more than of
Carranza and his followers. They have
long held grievance against all other
Mexicans. which was so bitter that
they would kill on sight any of them
who invaded the Indian reservations.
The villa forces had only to make
single attack on the United States to
gain thousands of followers. Imme-
diately the word was carried back that
Villa had been successful in a cam
paign fight against the United States

villa goes on the theory that every
armed man on a hilltop is worth 100
on the ground. Therefore, with a force
of 1000, and granting that his theory
holds good, it can be seen what chance
the present force of United States
troops would have in Mexico in case the
bandit army gains a strategic position.
Included in Villas army are the
best sharpshooters in all Mexico. They
are known as Relates" and they are
bandits in the full meaning of the
word. They do not know what fear is
and their aim is deadly. l have led
men of this class on forced cavalry

each one carrying only gallon of
