new version of the story of Villas
death was brought here today by a
Mexican cattleman, who claimed to
have suffered a visitation from a band
of Villa followers on his ranch near
Bachiniba This man said that N1IIa

Pablo Lopez, the bandits notorious
lieutenant and chief, had
died and that Villa had deliberately
used his death as the basis of the story
of his own finish.
The cattleman told the following
story:

came there and afterward when the
American soldiers arrived | believed it
was safe for me to return to my ranch.
