San Antonio, Texas.-Unless Fran
cisco Villa is definitely located within
the next day or two, It IS believed here
that General Pershing will begin a
search Of the mountains west and
south Of Guerrero. Since the defeat
Of villa,s forces March 20 in and near
Guerrero, lightly equipped detach-
ments OF cavalry have been sweeping
in whirlwind fashion through the dis
trict about head waters Of the Santa
Maria River trying to locate the elus-
i've bandit, reported to have gone in
that direction after being desperately
wounded.
General Pershing did not get re-
port through to General Funston dur.
ing the day. but his chief Of staff did,
indicating that the line Of communica-
ton was maintained. No mention OF
news of Villa was made. There Is in
creasing belief that General Pershing
may have been deceived as to the d.
rection taken by Villa and even con-
eerning his injuries.

The battle opened at o'clock in the

The news Of the exploit was flashed
into Juarez and sent thrill along the

Colonel with his picked troopers Of
the Seventh and Tenth Cavalry, drove

they fell upon the unsuspecting villa

with one hip shattered, was hurried
