reared.
Fails to Find Women.
When Villa, retreating from Column
bus, arrived at Corraltos ranch, he
had a list Of all the PolancOs, six
men, the mother and two daughters.
He seized the men and hunted for the
daughters, but the young women had
been hidden so we'll that he did not
find them.
To five of the men, Gregorio and
his two sons and Mucio and his one
son, Villa said: 81 am going to kill
you because you are too American
ized. You are Gringo lovers"
Finally Villa ordered the five men
taken into the garden, where each one
was shot five times.

the Villista raid on Columbus, March

by the American punitive expedition.
Failure of an organized attempt on
both sides of the border to transform
the campaign against Villa into inter-
yention pleased both American and Car
rama officials here. They little doubt
ed that "rumor factory" maintained
in FL Paso and other border points,
started reports Of threatened Mexican
uprisings and racial antagonisms to in

Pershinq Sends Word That He Does
Not Expect Speedy Termination
to His Task.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 2S.-Interest
in the Mexican situation has shifted
temporarily at least, from Northern
Chihuahua to Durango and Coahuila,
where the Villistas appear to be gath
ering strength to such an extent that
Torreon is seriously threatened.
AS far as the pursuit of Villa is con-
cerned the absolute dearth for days Of
any definite, reliable news has caused
much of the interest in the chase to
vanish into feeling of complete pessi-
mism. This was deepened materially
last night by word from Columbus
passed by the censor that General
Pershing had little expectation of a
speedy termination to his task and
that he was preparing for campaign
of several months.

COLUMBUS FEARS SECOND
RAID; PREDICTION MADE
Town. Believes Bandit Has
Doubled on Trail.

Columbus, N. NJ, March 31.-A story
spread broadcast through Columbus
caused the credrlous to fear that Viii
la is about to make a second raid on
this community.
The story was based on sugges-
ton made by q Mexican ranch hand
employed by Mayor II. G. Hoover.
The Mexican who is said to have pre-
dicted the raid upon this town March
9 in which seven United States sol
diers and eight civilians were killed,
asserted that he believed the bandit
chieftain had doubled on his trail and
was now in the vicinity Of Santa Ma
ria in the Guzman district, about 60
miles south of the border.

TO FUNSTON SAYS.

AND MEXICANS CLOSE IN
Tightening Line of Soldiers May Force
Outlaw to Face Pursuers in Fight
or Make Another Break-U. ).
Forces Converging in COL
umns From North.

San Antonio, Texas, April 1. -
After killing every one Of the III
men in the garrison at Guerrero, Fran
cisco Villa has moved nOrthWard ana
now is somewhere near the head-Wa-
ters of the Santa Maria river, accord
ing to unofficial information secured
by General Funston.
At the head of considerable force
Villa was reported to be on the San
Gernonimo ranch or the Quemada
ranch and troops of both the United
States and Mexico were believed to be
closing in on him.
This information was regarded by
General Funston and his staff as
probably correct. If correct, 1t ap-
peared that very soon Villa either
will have to face his pursuers in fight
or make another break through the
Tightening line of troops.
Whether his assault on the garrl-
son at Guerrero was the same engage
ment reported by General Pershing,
was not known, but it was considered
likely, since the action reported by
General Pershing occurred March II,
somewhere in that region. Details or
the engagement were not reported.
General Pershing has been advised
Of the report as to Villas location
and it is known hat the disposition OF
his troops and that of the Mexican
government is such that Villa can.
not easily escape without a fight.
American troops are converging In
columns from the north and it was in
dicated that part Of them had gone
so far south that they would be able
to join with the Carranza forces in
preventing his escape in that direc'
ton.
Other than that no supplies for the
troops in the field had crossed into
Mexico from Ell Paso for shipment
over the Northwestern railroad, nc
news concerning that development Of
the situation was given out.
