FL PASO, March 14.--Genera1 Will Ia, the Mexican outlaw commander, is reported to be about thirty-four miles north of Chihuahua, and is believed to be hurrying to join the Carranza forces just across the border from Columbus. These troops number about a thousand men. and most of them regard iVlla as g hero because of the massacre at Columbus, and, 1t is believed that most of them will cast their fortunes with the bandit leader. . It Is also reported that Villa is ob- taining constant accessions to his ranks from all over the country and that his band of marauders has as- sumed formidable proportions.

WAS CHARGED WITH PERJURY

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., March IA.
 The trial of former warden of Sing Sing prison, Osborne, begun this morning.
 Osborne is charged with perjury in connection with a legislative investi- gatlon of the prison and was removed from office after his indictment by the grand jury on the charge.
 It is generally believed that the charges against Osborne were the outcome of a bitter political fight, and it is charged that a gang of graft CTS, which was shut off from it's per- quisites gouged from the unfortu- mates confined in the prison are at the bottom of the charges and that the trial will reveal a conspiracy of considerable magnitude and involving a number of prominent politicians. !
 Osborne had conducted the prison along reform lines, giving the prison CTS a degree of freedom: unknown in the institution and had gained the goodwill of majority of the inmates, |by means of which he had been able to maintain a high standard of effl- ciency and discipline.

Fear Carranza's Troors.

COLUMBUS, N. M., March 14.- Considerable anxiety is felt here be- cause of the attitude of the Carranza troops just across the border. Sent to hunt down Villa, they are mani festing a strong sympathy for the outlaw and have made no move to- ward effecting his capture. and citi- zens here believe they are placed at this point to block the efforts of U. 8. troops to cross the border.
 It Is generally believed that hum .dreds of the soldiers will desert ana ioin with Villa, as he's look upon a1 q hero for his defiant attitude toward the United States, and the people o1 this town are fearful of another rai6 being made. ~.
