PANCHO VILLA HAS
BOASTFUL MOMENT
(By United Press)

New York, Dec. III am going
to drive the Americans out of Mex
leo or make them fight" is Villas
declaration in an interview printed by
the Tribune today.
Thorkel Flood Mortensen is the
writer and says that he went to Villa
headquarters the second day after the
occupation of Chihuahua City. The
bandit alleged that the mayor of Ell
Paso robbed Villas wife and drove
her from the country. He declared
that Pershing is violating sacred Mex
lean rights and "has got to get out.
I'll show them they cannot violate
Mexican rights.
He said President Wilson was a
traitor to him and that he intended
to drive all Americans out or make
them fight. When gone, '1'll make
the gap between the two countries Sc
wide and deep that Americans will be
unable to steal Mexican gold or oil"

Scion of Famous Chihuahua
Family Succumbs to
Illness Here.
FATHER DIED ONLY
SHORT TIME. SINCE
Deceased Came to Mexicali
a Few Months Ago and
Is Well Known.

Guillermo Terrazzi, grandson of
General Luis Terrazzi, famous landed
baron of the Chihuahua district in
Mexico and on whose ancestral es-
tates Pancho Villa is now depredating,
died last night at the St. Thomas hos
rital, expiring a few minutes after
re had entered the institution.
The deceased came to Mexicali sew
cral months since, being the guest
of various officers in Governor Este
ban Cantu's command. Before COM
ing to Lower California Terrazzi had
spent considerable time at FL Paso,
Juarez and other points in that sec
ton Of the country. Owing to Villas
uncompromising hostility to the ia
nous Mexican patricians, Guillero
Terrazzi, together with other men,
bers Of the family, was compelled to
flee to the United States for protec-
ton
Prior to the flight the Terrazzi
family succeeded in converting much
of their property in cash, bonds, jew
elry, etc., and at the present time it
is claimed that the estate is valued at
s6,OOO,OO or $7,OOO,OO0, awaiting dis
tribution at the hands of the courts.
GQillero Terrazzi was taken i'll last
week, but deferred special treatment
until Sunday, at which time he de-
cided to enter the st. Thomas hospi-
tai. He is said to have made the
trip from Mexicali to Ell Centre alone
and had not more than reached the
hospital until he expired. The body
has been turned over to Mulligan 4
Son, local undertakers, who are hold
ing it, awaiting information as to its
disposition.

START TO SECURE
JURY TO TRY ACID
CASE THIS MORNING
1t. Is Expected That One or
Two Days Will Be Occu-
pied in Selection.

AS a result of the morning session
in Judge Franklin J. Coles court to
secure jury of twelve men to hear
the evidence in the case of the Peo-
pie VS.. B. C. Lytle, nine men sat in
the box when the afternoons work
was resumed, but the district attor-
rey had not exercised any challenges
and it is very likely that few of the
nine will remain.
The original venire consisted of rs
names, but only 40 of these could be
found in time for today's session.
Three prospective jurors were passed
for cause, fifteen being examined by
the attorneys.
The superior court room was crowd
ed, many spectators being there in
addition to the witnesses. Thomas
Potts, complaining witress, and Mrs.
B. c. Lytle, wife Of the defendant,
were seated during the examination
Of the veniremen.

Ell CentrO Protests Game
on Account Gardner's
Calling Battle.
League Standing.

Seeley did just what the West Sid
ers said they would do Sunday-tbey
trimmed Ell Centro Sunday afternoon
by a score Of 1 to 0. The game was
protested by the Ell Centre club, the
latter claiming that Umpire Gardner
erred in calling the game in the ninth
on account of darkness, the score re-
verting to the eighth, at which time
Seeley was one run to the good, e.
Centro having annexed three tallies
in their first half of the ninth. Um-
pire Gardner decided that darkness
would not permit of finishing the
game and called it.
1t was a battle from start to fin
ish, both pitching departments doing
noble work. Adams had the better of
the argument, inasmuch as ne was
steady and fairly free from the pass
evil The Ell Centro club garnered
four hits off Adams delivery, while
Fratt and Priest held the See,ey team
to three hits, but nine bases on balls
rlust be added to the hits.
Not a score was made by either
side until the eighth inning, giving an
idea of the tightness of the struggle.
In the eighth Brooks ambled on
pass and hit, fielder's choice and
bobble sent him across with what
proved to be the winning tally.
Adams evidently knew that the
ninth frame could not be concluded,
for he eased up, the locals driving out
three runs. Darkness interviewed, ac-
ccrding to his jumps, and the game was
called,

WHICH DRUGGIST IS
S0RELY D|SF|GURED
Three Attempts Made to
Throw Acid at Druggist
in Famous Case.

The B. C. Lytle acid throwing case
grew out of two alleged attempts on
the part of Lytle to disfigure Thomas
Potts, Holtville druggist, by the use
of acid. Lytle was taken into Gus
tody on July 6 at Calexico, the ar
rest being made by Sheriff Charles
M. Applestill.
The first attempt to injure Potts
is given in the complaint as December
6, followed by another on June II,
1916. In May, 1916, Lytle has assert
cd that an attempt was also made to
Gisfigure him by the throwing of
acid, the attack said to have been
made while Lytle was an employe Of
the Potts pharmacy.
In both instances wherein Potts was
injured by acid the attacks were made
at the Armstrong residence in Holt
vile, where Potts made his home. The
first came when Pusts was occupying
porch bedroom, the thrower dashing
the destroying fluid through the
screen. The second occurred after
Potts had taken an inner room, an
empty acid bottle and a note being
found in the Armstrong bathroom.
