GOLD AND AMMUNITION
BURIED BY VILLAS MEN

Villa has 5000 men with him now.
according to the most authoritative re-
ports. Ten thousand men, it is be-
lieved, will join him on the day the
American invasion Is launched. Men
old in the wisdom of the border say
Villa will have from 10000 to 10000
men within a week after the hated
"gringo" sets foot in Mexico.
Tales come out Of Mexico of gold.
silver, and ammunition that Villa has
buried that put to shame the stories
of Captain Kidd and the lost pirate
treasure Of Cocos island.
Il should place the gold and silver
in bullion and money that Villa has
buried in northern Mexico at $5,000,-
000," said one Of the bandits former
lieutenants. THE spots where this
treasure is buried are known to no
one on earth except Pancho Villa. The
men who buried 1t for him were shot.
villa himself told me of one cache
Of treasure he made in the mountains
near Guerrero. which is popularity sup
posed to have been his birthplace. 1t
required pack train of six burros to
carry the sacks of money and gold and
silver bars to the spot where Villa
had decided to inter them.
"Six men dug the trench. After
their return to camp. Villa had them
arrested on a charge of treason. They
met their death in front OF line of
Mausers and took the secret of the
buried wealth into the other world
with them.
villa told me this because I hap
pened to know one of the men and
asked about him. He was a good sol
der Villa answered. but had to kill
him.
villa also has buried millions of
pounds OF ammunition and has sealed
the secret of the caches in tragedy. l
believe he has enough buried ammu-
milton at his disposal to carry ON a
long campaign"
The Bolivar County Democrat., 1916-03-18

AS practically all Villas men are
mounted, to catch him mounted troops
will have to be used This means cav.
airy and field artillery II he gets into
the Sierra Madres mountain artillery
only can be used. In this type OF ar
tillery the guns are dismounted from
the carriages and all the parts and am
munition carried ON pack mules.
One Aero Squadron.
We have one aero squadron which.
If 1t can get over the country, probably
will be of great use in helping to locate
any considerable forces Villa may
keep together. We have no reserve OF
men or horses to bring our regiments
to war strength or to make good cas-
ualties. Therefore. even If we start
with them at peace strength. we will
have to let the regiments used run
down in strength OF else fill them up
with green men and green horses. The
greater the number Of these the less
the efficiency, with the consequence
that as time goes on we will probably
need a good many more men than
would have been tho case had we at
the present time sufficient trained re-
servists to fill our regiments to war
strength and to mako good casualties.
VIII Resort to Guerrilla Warfare.
From Villas expressed intention to
involve the United States as much as
possible in order to force intervention.
the probabilities are that he will not
make any attempt to fight = campaign
but will scatter his forces. In order
to give as much trouble as possible,
keep the border in an uproar, and
draw our forces as far as possible into
Mexico. While the administration has
definitely stated its desire to do moth
ing more than to eliminate villa, the
problem, due to the extent Of country
over which he can operate and our
comparative lack Of troops. which pre-
vents our speedily ending the cam
paign, is one which can easily involve
US in difficulties which can only be
settled by a general war with Mexico

A man from upstate" had gone to

the metropolitan who had tho seat
next to him.
Where do all them troopers come

told them to be quiet. A few min
utes later, when a second party rode
down the street, we all ran UP to the
roof. leaving the Taylor children. On
the roofs Of other houses we could sec
the families lying at full length. Va
could also see"a great number Of fires,
and the roll Of the rifles was almost
without q break.
In the morning I saw many of
the dead Mexicans in the streets while
Mr.. Taylor was taking me to the train.
l had intended to stay for at least two
weeks longer, but l lost no time in
leaving after the raid. When / left
the only talk was of pursuit, and cow
boys and soldiers were saying that
they would go into Mexico with orders
or without"
The Bolivar County Democrat., 1916-03-18

They were not firing. Then from an
overhanging porch across the street
came several shots, and one or two of
the Villistas fell. The rest, twenty
or twenty-five in number, wheeled and
came back. Several of them spurred
over toward the house and kicked at
the door, while the rest shot from
their horses, which stood stock still.
Killing Them Like Flies.
AN old Mexican woman, called
Felice, came upstairs carrying Mrs.
Taylor's two small children. She
wanted to take them up on the roof.
but had heard someone say, They're
killing them on the roofs like flies"
and so took the children and stuffed
them between the spring and mattress
OF small bed in their mothers room.

have been beaten, as he was, but cap
tured or killed, and his whole force
dispersed.
Too Scattered for Protection.
An attempt to give some protection
to all parts Of the border has led to
a dispersion of the troops to such an
extent that there are many compare
lively weak points, such as Columbus.
All Villa or any other leader has to
do is to determine by means Of spies
where they are, and then suddenly
attack them.
The only thing that saved the troops
at Columbus from being beaten by the
overwhelming numbers which Villa
brought against them is the great su.
periority of our regulars to any troops
which the Mexicans can bring against
them. For the pursuit OF Villa most
Of our cavalry undoubtedly will have
to be taken. This means that the pro-
lection of the border will have to be
primarily in the hands of the infantry,
who are hindered by their comparative
lack Of mobility and the large stretches
of country they will have to protect.
Nature Of Land.
The state OF Chihuahua is immedi-
ately to the south of that part of the
border along which Villa has recently
operated. To its west is the state Of
Sonora. The two are separated by the
Sierra Madre. Chihuahua is about
three times the size Of the state of
New York. About four-fifths of it is
rolling plain at a height of from four
thousand to eight thousand feet above
sea level. In general it slopes down
hill from the south to the American
border. This plain is covered with
brush and cacti Of all kinds. The veg
citation is distinguished by it's thorn
bearing capacity.
There Is not a great deal of water,
and such as there is is generally found
in water holes, called tanques. While
these, as rule. are of considerable
size, they are generally quite a dis
tance apart.
If Villa keeps his force concentrated,
he may retreat practically due south,
which means long stern chase with
steadily increasing line of communi-
cations and more and more danger of
the mass of the Mexican people be-
coming convinced that we are making
real invasion instead of merely help
ing the federal authorities to dispose
of a dangerous rebel.
On the other hand he may cross the
Sierra Madres and raid some part of
the Arizona border. or he may return
to the east and strike some part of
the Texas border. If he goes due
south, the railroad of course will be
available for line of communications.
If he goes toward the Sierra Madres,
the railway running to Minaca will
be available. If he goes in any other
direction, wagon trains and pack trains
will have to be used, Whatever the
line of communications, they will have
to be guarded to prevent Villa or any
considerable part of his force from
slipping around the troops after him
and attacking them.

He waited, but the injured nigA

Money For Centennial.

One of the most important measures
to be disposed of in the lower house
during the past week was the appro-
priation bill for the State Centennial
Exposition. Practically an entire fore
noon session was devoted to debate on
the bill making an appropriation, by
bond issue, of S125.o00 to be devoted
to the aid of the Mississippi Centen-
NAL Exposition. Decidedly fierce at
tacks were made on the bill by the
extreme low pressure contingent, but
it passed by good margin. The point
was raised that the bill provides for
donation, and is not an appropriation
