MEXICAN STUDENT NOW
HERE TOLD OF UNCLE'S
MURDER BY VHLTSTAS
Miguel A. Long, of jefferson
Medical College, Hears of
Relatives Death on Ranch
in Coahuila
WOULD JOIN U. s. ARMY

One youth in Philadelphia has a par
tcular reason for hoping that the pun
itive expedition of the United States army
to take villa dead or alive will be success
ful. The young mans uncle was shot
dead by a Villa band on a ranch 100
miles south of Eagle Pass, Tex, last
Tuesday. Word of the murder just
reached him. Miguel A. Long, Of 1918
Walnut street, freshman at the Jefferson
Medical College, is the relative of Villas
victim. He would like to join the expedi-
tion against Villa himself, he says.
David Long, 2S years old, owner Of n
ranch of 100000 acres near the San Rosa
Mountains, In Coahuila, was killed with
three shots through the head by a band
of Villa followers. who demanded horses
and cattle from Longs ranch. according
to the word that has reached his nephew.
The nephew his father and the dead man
are all descended from Or. John Long,
who lived in Philadelphia 60 years ago
and later settled In Mexico.
Word of the murder reached the JEFF
ferson College student in n letter from
his mother, Mrs. Juan Long, who has
lived in Eagle Pass, Tex, for the past
three years, since conditions in Mexico
grew chaotic.
'They wanted horses and cattle. I
haven't heard the details yet. but I know
my uncle was not the kind to give up
without n fight. All the messenger who
brought the sad news to me knew was
that the villa men had shot my uncle
three times In the head and killed him. I
hope they get Villa soon. No one Is safe
while he Is free. I'm no warrior, but I'd
like TO go down there and get him my
self"
MY uncle returned to his ranch, the
Rosta, only n month ago" Long said
today. "He had been In Texas but when
II seemed the state of Coahuila had
duieted down he decided to go back We
all thought he was safe until Saturday
when a messenger from the ranch came to
Eagle Pass, where my father is ply
sician, and reported that n villa band had
raided the ranch"
David Long is the second of young
Longs relatives to die in the Mexican
revolution. year ago, his mothers
brother, Gastenes Gujardo, who was n
major in Huertas army, was killed by the
Carranza troops who had been instructed
to capture him.
