Carranza Troops Discover
Gold and Silver Coin and
Bullion on Ranch
PART OF PLUMBER
SEIZED BY URBINA
Villa Attempted to Get the Money, and
It Is Believed That When Urbina Re

Was Shot.

Ell PASO, Texas, April 13.-Thrce
big freight wagonloads of gold and
silver coin and bullion, valued at $780,
600 loot which Gen. Thomas Urbina
had buried on his old CanutelIo ranch,
near Moves, Durango, west of Parral,
has been located by Carranza troops
under the command of Gen. Francisco
Murguia, according to information re
ceived in FL Paso by Carranza Consul
Garcia.
The loot is q part of the great guam
tit Of plumber which Gen. Urbina cap
tured during the Villa revolution, and
which he buried on his ranch with the
expectation of digging it up later and
bringing it to the United States
Villa upon learning that Urbina had
q quantity of valuable loot at his ranch
went with Rodolfo Fierro and a com
mand of troops to the Urbina ranch.
There Villa demanded the loot. Stor es
of what happened at the ranch differ,
but it is believed that Urbiua was shot
while being taken back to Parral as a
prisoner by Villa. Later Mr.. Urbina s
wife came to the border and stated
that the Villa troops had surrounded
her house, killed number of the ranch
employees and had taken her husband
away as a prisoner. At the time only
a part of the loot was found by Villa
1t is thought that Urbina S refusal to
reveal the hiding place of the remand
er OF the valuable loot caused Villa
to order him shot The loot was 10.

DR.. Barton wrote him.: Ever since

have felt there should be such q home
On the Pacific coast and Claremont is
an ideal spot for It." ~ *. -
Another factor In directing mis- at
tention TO this work was the express
ed desire of Miss Mary H. Faster
at Claremont. Miss Faster felt that
climate, school privileges Cboth grade
and high schools are excellentl, Pomo-
ma College. with Its more than 500
students, together with the choice so
cial, moral and religious life Of the
community made Claremont the place
par excellence for such an institution:
For IS years Miss Faster had been In
missionary work in North China, and
she well knew the need Of such
home for missionary children, and
for missionary families, retired or on
furlough. To quote again from DR..
Barton: THE missionary home
makes II possible for the missionary
and his wife to continue their work
contentedly upon the field when the
children are happily provided for In
the home land"

work convinced MIR. Merritt that 1t
