“ROBINHOOD OF MEXICO”
LS ASSASSINATED
Chihuahua City, Mexico. July 23—
General Francisco (Pancho) Villa
commander of Rebel Armies in
Northern Mexico for ten years, was ,
shot and killed at his bit; ranch at j
Canutillo Durango. One hundred
troops were dispatched to the scene
of the battle where Villa was killed,
to try and intercept th« men who
were responsible for the killing.
Later dispatches state that Federal
soldiers under the Command of Gen
eral Martinez had captured three of
the members of the band that was
responsible for the killing of the
chieftian of the ‘‘Jessie James gang
of Mexico."
The body of General Villa, who is
referred to as Robin Hood of Mex
ico. lies in state at the city hall of
Parral where thousands have view
ed it since the sensational .killing
took place. President Obrogon.
President of Mexico, this afternoon
ordered that full military honors be
rendered at the funeral of the dead
rebel leader.
A strange coincidence to the kill
ing of this character of contempor
ary Mexican history who was pos
sessed with a strange combination
of horse sense and firey impulse is
that the killing of this famous Mex
ican bandit took place almost in "the
same place as the killing of Capt.
White and Lieut. Adair. American
Army Officers, who were in Mexico
with the punitive expedition in t!>16
afteT Villa had raided Columbus.
N w Mexico.
Capt. White and Lieut. Adair were
Cavalry officers belonging to the
Tenth U. S. C valrv. On the day of
the killing of these two American
Army officers at Parral. White and
Adair with their troops were sent to
reconnolter the country adjacent to
Parral. upon learning that Villa was
supposed to be in the village. White
decided to enter the village and en
deavor to effect the capture of the
man that the United States wanted
sc bad that they had sent an
army to invade another country.
T*n the battle that followed between
a handful of colored American sol
diers and two white officers with
ten times their number against them
behind breastworks while they had
to fight in the open and climb a
steep hill iD the bargain. White and
Adair paid the supreme sacrifice to
their country in this effort to effect
his capture, and it went down in his
tory as two more heroes who gave
up thier lives m defense of tnetr
country.
