Omaha MOtOrcycIists Show
How Villa Might Be Captured

The motorcycle squad of Company C,
Nebraska National Guard, went into
action on the bluffs near Omaha a
couple of Sundays ago before the eye of
motion camera and several thousand
spectators to show what war would
gage in it:
First the corps, all riding Indian ma
chimes, charged. up a bank. Then dis
patch riders were sent scurrying
around a field with messages. Finally
a scene was put on which purported to
show the invasion of Mexico and the
pursuit and running down of Villa.
The Omaha citizen who impersonated
the bandit chief in a false mustache
and sombrero fought desperately
against high bank. but was even
tually brought down to the accompani-
ment of rafting musketry fire and
the cheers of spectators who viewed
the fight from automobiles. fence tops,
trees and telephone poles.
The arrangements for the battle
were made by Captain l. V. Todd of
Company C, and Sam II. Boord, of the
Omaha Bicycle Company and the film
was taken by a Chicago house. 1t is
now being exhibited throughout the
country. The battle was considered a
fine demonstration of the serviceable-
ness of the motorcycle for campaign
ing and preparedness for service on
the part of the motorcyclists.
