VILLA ATTACKS GIRL
shot BY HER BROTHER
Bandits Beat Boy to Death
at Villas Command This
Is True" Story
By H. D. Jacobs

! Omitted Press staff correspondent
Field Headquarters American Expe-
dition Near Namiquipa, Mexico, May
4 (via motor truck to Columbus, N.
M.)-May l5,-Paneho Villa was shot
by the youthful brother of a girl he at
tempted to assault, according to the
latest version of the wounding of the
bandit A former Villista officer told
the story here today, asserting the de-
tails came from the girls family and
neighbors.
The boy was beaten to death by
Villa 5 men at the bandit leaders com
mand to "kill him"
Villa mad long maintained his re-
spect for women. Many stories are
told in Mexico of officers executed by
the bandit because they attacked young
girls.
Villa forfeited this redeeming vir-
tue, however, while marching to at
tack Columbus, when he kidnapped the
IL year old daughter Of Juan Ulder-
lite, foreman of a big ranch at Bach.
lneva. The girl was carried away to
San Geronimo and kept a prisoner for
nearly week, She was In a serious
condition when Villa released her and
again moved northward with his col
umn. Her father, who killed Jose Gui
lerrez, has sworn to devote the remain
der of his life to hunting Villa down.
Retreating from Columbus Villa and
his band arrived at Guerrero on the
morning of March 2S, according to the
story told here. When his headauar-
ters were settled, Villa rode through
the city. appraising the women he saw.
AS he passed the nome of Arrietas
family he espied Carmita, aged Is.
standing near the door. Villa slid from
his horse and grAsped the girl around
the waist, smOthering her shrieks with
kisses. The girls brotAer, a youth of
/ Is, rushed at the bandit. Villa re.
leased the girl, but too late; the boy
shot from the hip, hitting Villa in
the right leg, just above the ankle and
in the right thigh. Two more bullets
whlzzed harmlessly past the bandit IS
mead. Then, as the girl fled to her
mother, the youth threw the smoking
weapon in Villa S face and fled.
Villa crumpled, but pulled himself
together and mounted his horse. The
boy ran into the arms Of a Villista
guard and was promptly brought back
to the bandit chief.
Kill him" was Villa g command
and he rode away confident of his sol.
diers ingenuity in devising means
OF execution. Carmita S brother was
stoned until he fell.
Tnen the guard fell upon him and
beat him to death with swords and
gun butts. Before the eyes of his
mother and sister whom he had saved
the lad was brutally slain, but the
family was not mobested further.
Villa, incapacitated by the wounds,
left for the south, and was said to have
been far away when the Carranzistas
fought their battle next day. The mar
rator of the story did know whether
Villa died of his wounds.

he was left hanging ON the fence until
the wire was snapped. After the wire
had been taken from his jaw 81 stitches
