 At the state and war departments tonight it was admitted that Villas eX- act location was not known. and that absolutely no news regarding General Pershing's operations had been re- ceiveG for several days.

brought to a definite conclusion within forty eight hours, according to information received here today by an American mining concern with large interests at Parral and Torreon.
 The messages received stated that the report that Villa was dead was current throughout southern Chihua- hua and Northern Durango and while it was still far from confirmed, it was expected that definite news would be received within the next two days.
 There are only two possibilities which are accepted here as true in the present situation: either Pancho Villa is dead and his pursuit is au- tomatically ended or he is far to the south in Central Durango. If the latter is true, army officers say that the entire plan of campaign of Gen eral PerShing must be completely re- organized or abandoned altogether. One officer, who has had an active part in the direction of the plans of the expeditionary force. summed up the situation in this way:
 If Villa is dead. there is no more
 
 for our soldiers to come back to the United States as speedily as possible If he is not dead. there is very little reason to doubt that he is by this time well into the state of Durango. It is simply ridiculous to suppose that our troops can keep on going south indefinitely with no railroads back of them They will either have to halt or arrange for the dispatch of another expedition from some point on the border which will enable them to cut in behind Villa. I am not a prophet but the most casual observer should see that the existing conditions are impossible of contin- uance.'
 The report of Villas death was ac- cepted as highly probable by General Bertani, the Carranza commander at Casas Grandes, who is now in Juarez.
 There is only one doctor in the country where Villa now is" said General Bertan. and if blood pois- oning has set in in Villas wounded leg, as my information has it, this doctor can do nothing, even if he has q chance, since he is not only ig- norant and incompetent but a notor- ious drunkard. Witnesses who saw Villa. told me his left leg was shat tered by fall from his horse. fol- lowing his being wounded by bull let. They said the leg was in bad shape, swollen and gangrenous."
 General Bertani said that Villa had not more than fifty men with him. The Villista band which his troops encountered in the Madeira section yesterday. consisted of 23 members, of whom fl were taken prisoners. The survivors carrying their wounded, escaped into the hills.
 Villas forces consist now of only -;, few handsful.'' commented Der tani "who will have to be hunted down like ordinary escaped crimi- nals"

ditionary base, directed that the heavy guard and outposts maintained last night be continued.
 Every precaution also was being taken along the motor supply route between Columbus and Casas Grandes. because of persistent reports that rowing bands of Mexicans have been collecting near it, apparently for the purpose of attacking motor train.
 Drivers of a train, leaving here to- day for the front, were instructed to be particularly careful to prevent struggling. Lieutenant Innes P. Swift, commander ordered that the space between trucks should not be greater than twenty yards and that when one truck stopped, the entire train must halt.
 The Mayor of Columbus today is sued a proclamation thanking Major Sample for steps taken to protect the town from attack.
 The cavalrymen in the field have found sabres useless encumberances in the type of warfare being waged against Villa, and as a result the troops are sending these weapons to the base. Eleven hundred sabres ar rived from the Eleventh Cavalry to- day. Military men here point out that the discovery made by the troops in the field is important since . heretofore much attention has been paid to sabre drills in cavalry sta tions. The same truck train brought two machine guns and seventy-five 1r-lsn ho Villa command in the Guerrero en- gagement. The machine guns were of q modern model and had been well cared for. The rifles, however were of assorted sizes and shapes and apparently had had little care.
 Plans are being made to place the weapons on exhibition in the center of the military camp.

model husband and parent. There
were many who believed in his skill
as a seer, and they told Of numerous
phophecies which had been fulfilled
to the letter.
When the police knocked at his door
he met them with a smiling face. They
explained their errand, which was to
search the premises, and he seemed
amused. The officers searched every
inch Of the house. and found several
garments of Catherine Seideps, togeth-
er with a vast array Of feminine wear
ing apparel which evidently didn't be-
long to his wife. He had story to
explain the presence Of GATHERINGS
clothing. He said he didn't know who
the girl was. She came to his house
to have her fortune told, and there met
another client, also q stranger. She
asked to leave her bag there while,
and went away With the stranger, and
that was the last he ever saw of her.
1t was true that he appropriated her
goods, but was prepared to pay for
them. He had given up expectation
of the owner ever claiming them.
The story was a little thin, as was
also his explanation Of the great guam
tity Of women's clothing in the place,
but the police were at a standstill.
There was no evidence whatever that
anything had happened to the girl
there, and they felt that they were
baffled again.
Just then along came Sergeant
| Schneider with his trained dog. The
sergeant's dog was the joke of the
police department. He had used al

face of the earth. Days and weeks
went by, and her relatives on the
farm, having heard nothing OF her, no
tilted the police, and the officers made
a diligent and prolonged effort to ind
some trace of her, but in vain. 1t was
the most complete mystery they ever
encountered. All they could discover
was that the girl reached the town
safely. There was not a shadow OF
a clue as to what became of her af-
forwards. The mystery attracted gen.
eral attention, and expert policemen
of various cities evolved theories
which came to nothing when tested.
Catherine had younger sister who
remained on the farm. This sister,
Gertrude, when the best efforts OF the
police had failed, also packed her car
pet bag and went to Regendorf, saying
she would learn the truth concerning
her sisters fate if it took her whole
lifetime. For long time this girl was
a familiar figure in the town, as she
pursued her strange errand. She ques-
toned everybody, she invaded peo'
ple's houses, she became nuisance to
the police and the authorities, and the
mayor repeatedly pointed out the use
lessness of her course, and urged hel
to go back home.
But Gertrude was inexorable. One
day she went into tailor's shop, anC
began asking her interminable ques
tions. The tailor answered her impa
tiently, for his mind was on a fanc!
vest he was making, and he didn'
want to be interrupted. He was sur
prised and indignant when the CIR
snatched the garment out of his hands
She took it to the light and examined
it closely.
"Where did you get this material?
she inquired.
"From the man who ordered tn
vest made" replied the tailor.
'What is this name?"
Andrew Bichel, the fortune-teller.
A policeman happened to come alOn
lust then, and Gertrude called him In
to the shop.
"At last" said Gertrude, 1--WE are al
preaching the truth. This dinity
part of a dress Catherine took with he
when she left home, and it was brough
here by Andrew BicheL"
The policeman realized the impol
tance of the clue. Taking the ves
with him, he escorted Gertrude
headquarters. Then she accompanie
the policeman and several of HIS fe
l lows to the home Of Andrew Bichel.
This man had lived in the town
long time and was generally respecte'

. garded. He appeared to be a quie

began scratching the dirt up In clod.
Schneider got spade, and dug down,
and soon found human bones. Then
the dog ran to pile of logs and began
digging again, and the officers removed
that pile in a hurry, and, after using
the spade few minutes, produced the
body of a woman. This was Gather
inc Seidel, Identification being made
certain by the presence Of her pinch
becR earrings, which were recognized
at once by Gertrude.
Later the first body was identified
as that of Barbara Reisinger, girl
who had disappeared mysteriously the
previous year. Then the tOwnsmen
began to talk of other girls who had
vanished in recent years without leav-
ing trace behind them, and, although
nothing definite was ever proved, 1t
was considered a certainty that the
| fortune-teller could have told what
became of them.
Bichers nerve gave way entirely
when he was jailed, and he confessed
| to the murder of Catherine Seidel and
Barbara Reisinger. In each case the
girls were passing his house when he
invited them in to have their fortune
told. He placed his magic mirror be-
fore them, and then blindfolded them,
saying that when he removed the BAN
dage they would see their future in the
mirror. And while they were thus
blindfolded and helpless he stabbed
them in the neck, and, after despoiling
them of their belongings, buried the
bodies.
The public indignation was so great
that Bichel had to be strongly guard
ed throughout his trial. Had the peo.
pie been able to get their hands on
him they would have saved the exc
cutioner some trouble. The wretched
criminal was sentenced to be broken
on the wheel and beheaded, but the
first part of the punishment was re
mitted.
Gertrude went back to her milkpans
and her chickens mourning her muir
dered sister, but finding some comfor
in the reflection that she had unrav
eled q mystery which had puzzled al
the great detectives Of the time.

THE .MAIDENS AND THE MON
STER.

In the year 1903 Catherine Seidel,
who lived on a farm not far from
Regendorf, Bavaria, made up her mind
that the advantages Of the rural life
were greatly overestimated. She was
tired of milking cows, and churning.
and washing dishes, and all the rest
of the household chores. Being an
extremely pretty girl, she had the idea
that her opportunity for brilliant ca
reer could be found in town, rather
than in the country; so one day she
packed her carpet bag with her best
belonging, put on beautiful dress,
and went to Regendorf, full of rosy
dreams.
She. reached the town all right,
as subsequent investigation showed
and then she vanished from the
