VILLA KILLS MAN

Bandit Leader Was Wounded by
Mexican Father.
CHILD WITNESSED MURDER
Parent Was Shot 70 Death by Out
law After Vain Attempt TO Save
His DRuqhter-Fate Of Young
Woman Unknown

Ell Paso, Tex, April l2.-Confirma-
tion OF the report that Pancho Villa
was wounded seemed established when
details OF the killings at Minaca were
brought across the border,
The story is one of the blacklist
that mark the dark pages of the
outlaws career. Here is the tale
brought to the official quarters in FL
Paso:
Pancho Villa, fresh from an easy
victory at Guerrero, descended on Mi
naca in a gay mood. He staggered
through the town at the head OF his
"dorados," golden Ones" laughing at
the memory of how he had caused
General Cazos and his staff to leap
from the dance hall window and fee
in the attack on Guerrero.
Sympathizers told him that fresh
mounts were to be had at the stables
of George Locke, a horse dealer. Viz
la and his men went to the stables.
Locke already had fed, his coachman,
Andres Rehaza, being in charge.
Rehaza was q big, broad-shouldered
fellow. In his adobe cottage was
hidden his pretty young daughter.
Adelita.
Father Blocks Doorway.
Rehaza met Villa at the doorway,
his great frame filling that space and
barring the way.
DO not fear, amigo. said Villa.
grinning, I'VE kill only gringos and
false ones. Why do you bar the door,"
At this moment Adelita, her girlisb
curiosity overcoming her fear of the
renegade. peeped through the corner
of a window. Villa looked up, and
his eyes caught the frightened black
eyes of the girl. Once more Villa
grinned. Then he strobe away.
Within an hour he returned, accom-.
panied by two of his followers. Again
Rehaza stood in the doorway.
Rehaza. you have been false to
Pancho Villa he declared. You are
withholding from him a treasure that
should be his"
Rehaza realized his daughters dan
ger at once.
''No, my general" he cried. There
is no treasure in my poor home that
God has not given me 10 cherish"
Villa turned to his men. They
sprang on Rehaza. and together
pulled him from the doorway. Villa,
still grinning, walked slowly to the
door. At the threshold he paused a
moment. Then he entered. Adelita
screamed
Girl Shrieks in Terror.
Now we shall see how traitors are
punished" cried Villa. He lunged
into the room, the girls shrieks OF
terror driving her father into a mad
struggle with his captors. AS Villa
appeared in the doorway, closing the
girl in his arms, Rehaza fought one
arm free, jerked gun from the hol-
ster of one of the men who held him,
and leveled it at the outlaw chief. The
Villista sprang for his arm, and chung
to it, dragging it down just as Re
haZa fired.
The bullet clipped Villas left knee,
and he screamed in rage.
Kill that dog" he ordered. Re-
haza was thrown to the ground. While
one of the bandits held him there, the
other pressed a revolver against his
head and fired. Villa. in the doorway,
held the fainting girl that she might
see her father die.
There the story ends. No more is
known of the fate Of Adelita Rehaza.

MEK|CANS WANT
TO CHASE VILLA
Carranza General Says U. S. Aid
Is Not Necessary.
NEWS OF FIGHT EXPECTED
Americans Under Porshing Believed
to Have Met ViIIistas in Another
Engagement-FIrst Chiefs
Troops Defeated Bandits.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 11.-General Ga
briel Gavira, Carranza commander at
Juarez, announced that the forces OF
the de facto government were in po-
sition to take immediate control of the
Villa situation If the American troops
withdrew.
General Gaviras statement was
made in connection with the an
nouncement of Major General Scott,
chief of staff of the american army
staff, that the purpose of the expedi-
tionary force would be considered &C
complished when the Villista bands
were dispersed or "as soon as the
troops of the de facto government are
able to relieve them of the work"
.. Enough Men at Hand.
We have more men than enough
now" said General GaYira. If we
were able to overcome Villa when he
had 10000 men, more than 100 cannon
and plenty of supplies, we ought to
be able to dispose OF him now when
his numbers have dwindled down to a
few hundred.
But II is a big territory to operate
in, and single man has more chance
to escape and hide than a large force
would have.
However, on account of Villa
' ounded condition %e think he will
be taken soon. If not it is hardly
likely that without proper surgical
care he will survive for long"
Re-enforcements and supplies fol
the American expedition continued tC
pour into Mexico from Columbus as II
there was no prospect of withdrawal
soon. Activities bent on catching
Villa we're speeded up here also in the
purchasing and forwarding of sup
plies.
To keep pace with the rapidly
frightening line Of communications
the wireless station at Namiquipa has
been moved farther south. The field
telegraph already extends to Galena.
Confirmation of reports that Villa
was near Parral, or had passed it
was brought to Juarez by General

The last Sight between Carranzs

patches from the front indicating
contact with the Villa troops were
awaited with anxiety at headquarters
by General Funston, who realized
fully the dangerous position in which
