CuBANS DESIRE
TO CATCH VILLA
CAUSES WONDER

Was he spy? Did he really have a
personal grudge" against Villa. the
Mexican bandit? Or. still possible was
he follower of the revolutionary lead
er and had sinister designs back of
his desire to cross the Mxecian-Ameri-
can boundary line?
Sergeant F. d. Bond OF the Rich
mond recruiting station is puzzled and
somewhat worried as to the Interior

ing's punitive expedition in it's search
for the Mexican chief. He showed a
discharge from the Cuban army in
which he had served as a volunteer
but could not secure enlistment in the
United States army because of physic-
al disability. The Cuban had suffered
the loss of his right ear in the Cuban
uprising.
His familiarity with the Mexican
country convinced the recruiting Off
Ger that he had at least been in Mexi-
co and probably was as he said obli-
gated to revenge himself on Villa The
Cuban said his sole reason for his de-
sire to go to Mexico was to wipe out
the. debt" he owed the Mexican chief.
He said that previous efforts he had
made to cross the border at FL Paso
had been frustrated by U. S. army
officers. He left the recruiting sta
tion saying that he was going to Mex
leo anyway. The sergeant advised
him to see Gen. Funston when he
reached Ell Paso again and apply as
an interpreter.
