Villa for nine days and was liberated
in the midst of the fighting, declared
that Villa announced March l his in
tention to attack Columbus and pro-
ceeded north under forced marches to
carry out his purpose.
Villa Rules by Fear.
His men, with scant supplies of wa
ter and food, suffered severely, she
said, and many dropped from their
horses on the march to the Boca
Grande. Villa, she declared, ruled
them by fear, and his officers, with the
flats of their swords, beat the soldiers
into animation, sufficient to reach that
point where they rested and prepared
for the raid.
Tuesday, Mrs. Wright related, Villa
bandits attacked employees of the Pal
omas Cattle company, engaged in
rounding up cattle, killing four Ameri-
cans

From the first, I knew Villa intend
ed to attack Columbus" Mrs. Wright
continued. It was freely discussed by
the men and officers. They told me
that Villa-his rage growing as he
reared the boundary-had declared he
would make torches of every woman
and child, as we'll as every man in
Columbus He intended, they said, to
lay low the whole of the United
States and would be helped by Japan
and Germany
Two Believed Killed.
Mrs. Wright said her husband, Ed
ward John Wright, formerly of Hous-
ton, Texas, and Frank Halden, a youth
employed at the La Booker sawmill,
were taken from the Wright ranch
March 1 and presumably killed. When
she was taken prisoner and forced to
ride away with detachment OF Villas
men under Colonel Nicholas Ser
vantes, she said bandit ordered her
to give her baby to Mexican family.

Length, about nine inches. The
slaty gray plumage and black cap
and tail are distinctive.
Range: Breeds throughout the
United States west to New Mexico,
Utah. Oregon and Washington, and
in southern Canada: winters from
the gulf states to Panama.
Habits and economic status: In
many localities the catbird is one
of the commonest birds. Tangled
growths are it's favorite nesting
places and retreats, but berry
patches and ornamental shrubbery
are not disdained. Hence the bird
is a familiar dooryard visitor. The
bird has fine song, unfortunately
marred by occasional cat calls.
With habits similar to those of the
hooking bird and song almost as
varied, the catbird has never Sc
cured similar place in popular
favor. Half of its food consists of
fruit, and the cultivated crops
most often injured are cherries,
strawberries, raspberries, and
blackberries. Beetles, ants, crick-
cts and grasshoppers are the most
important element of it's animal
food. The bird is known to at
tack few pests, as cutworms,
leaf beetles. clover-foot curculio,
and the periodical cicada, but the
good it does in this way probably
does not pay for the fruit it
steals. The extent to which it
should be protected may perhaps
be left to the individual cultivator;
that is, it should be made law
full to destroy catbirds that are do
ing manifest damage to crops.
