WOMAN, q, HOPES
T0REGA|N WEALTH
Owner of Ranch Pancho
Villa Seized Has Claim
Against Mexico.
By the Associated Press.

WINKLEMAN, Ariz.. September 26.
Aunt Kate" O'Brien. "a, busted
herself about her doorless tin hut to-
day, nurturing a dim hope that one
day she may know again the wealth
that was hers before her Mexican
ranch foreman, Francisco tPancho)
Villa, turned revolutionist and seized
her property.
Mrs. Catherine Isabelle O'Brien
century while vacationing near San
Luis Potosi, Mexico. 1t was one Of
several valuable land holdings. Villa
was her foreman.
In 1915, she said, he had con-
fiscated her 100000 property to feed
his rebel troops and ridden away to
lead revolution.
Shares Shack With Dogs.
1t was the opening episode in mis-
fortune that dogged Mrs. O'Brien from
wealth to the shack on the Gila River
near here, which she shares with .
few chickens and a couple Of dogs.
Her hope comes from claim against
the Mexican government to reimburse
her for Villas asserted conhscations.
It was bolstered recently by an Ari-
zona visit from Raymond Sawyer,
Washington, attorney for the Mexican
Claims Committee.
When Villa began his drive for
power and modified his army, he
turned to the nearest source to feed
his soldiers. Mrs. O'Brien's cattle
were butchered and her entire hold
ings disappeared In q like manner,
as far as she has been able to deter
mine.
Adversities followed in quick sue
cession. Her Oklahoma holdings, en-
bracing 1000 acres of farming land,
were struck by drought.
Home in City Burns.
To pay mortgages she sold her
land, taking the remaining money
to buy a home in Oklahoma City.
Before she could occupy it the home
burned.
With the little money she had SAL
vaged, the aging woman came to
Arizona, bought q few goats and a
little house here. For few years
she prospered, but citizens Of the
town objected to the goats and she
was forced to move across the river,
taking her flock along.
A short time later she fell while
herding the animals and fractured
her leg. While she recovered her
goats wandered away.
There is little left now, she said,
but hope that part Of her losses will
be returned.

ministration." National and State
party leaders led the attack on the
Republican party, an onslaught cli-

Presiding over the affair. most
colorful of party meetings held in the
county since the campaign opened,
was Lansdale G. Sasscer, local at
torney and president Of the Maryland
Senate. His opening remarks fol-
lowed a demonstration parade Of
Capitol Heights Democratic Club
members, who filed before the speak
ers' stand to the vocal rendition Of
Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here" A
Democratic donkey from Oxon Hill
symbolized the purpose OF the

Connally, veteran national legisla-
tor, devoted much Of his address to an
attack on the Landon farm policies.
P1lnctuating his remarks with sar-
castle references to the Hoover
crowd" he also pointed out that "the
financial interests. so bitterly opposed
to the administration, are really in
debted to President Roosevelt"

exchange has risen from 19 billion
to 81 billion dollars since March. 1885,"
the Senator declared, "and you
farmers know how prices Of your

Connally's speech elaborated state
ments previously made by Senator
Millard E. Tydings of Maryland. who
scored lending to foreign countries by
the Harding, Coolidge and Hoover ad-
ministrations. Defending New Deal
expenditures, Tydings pointed out that
much of the s14,500,000,00 lent
during the previous IL years Of Re-
publican administrations were actually
unsound and served virtually to stop
foreign trade"

welt. reiterated Tydings' appeal for
New Deal support.
