VILLA TO Be ROBIN
HOODF0R MEX|CANS
LEGENDS SPRING UP REGARDING
ORIGIN AND POWER OF
SHIFTY OUTLAW.
(By the Associated Press.)

Juarez, Mexico, July 2.-Francisco
Villa promises to be the Robin Hood
for future generations in Mexico.
Many legends have sprung UP among
the natives about the bandit leader
who came out of the Sherry Madres
to join Francisco Madero in his revo-
luton against General Diaz and later
led movements against Huerta and
Carranza. Many of these stories are
pure fiction and always made villa
grin broadly when they were told to
him. Others have some foundation OF
fact. ~
One of the mss popular legends
connected with Villas life is the one
telling of the causes which forced him
to assume the role Of a bandit chief
According to this legend he avenged
wrong done his sister at the hands
of an officer of the old Diaz army land
was forced to lead a brigand's life
dlltl IIdl. as NIlid lptu llO SiolCl
this story is fiction.
another tale the natives delight tt
tell is that Villa has the power tt
change himself into n little dog and
bark at the heels Of the soldiers pur
suing him. Villa at different times
has been charged with having az
many as six wives at the same time
The most he ever had was two.
Villa was sIlso said to have beer
born in Oklahoma and to have negro
blood in his veins. This is also I'm
true as he WIS never out of Mexico
except when visiting Ell Paso or some
other border mort and is native o
Durango. He has no children, de

his sons in battle His only son dice
