The body of Villa. is lying in the city hall ai Purral. where thousands of persons have viewed it. President Obregon has Ol'dcred an investigation into the assassination. Kraivisco ("I'ambo") VijUfc guer rilla chieftain und bandit leader in Mexico f?>r mory than 10 years, de clared that he Had. ended his carver . outlawry in Augtw^ 1020, when, at the head of 000 followers, the rem nant of what had once been hi# army At n5,00(1 men, he entered San Pedro, rimhuilla, and amid the cheers of the populate announced the intention of himself and men of accepting amnesty und Ae'ul ing' down agx^armers. .V few weeks ea/fiicr, Villa had sur r, nd.ercd to foderil forces at Sabinas, lf? then declared >h is adherence to Provisional President de la Huerta and General Alvaro Obregon, later elected president to succeed Carrnnza. i . c -ajiitiiiating. Villa demandtul ? Was granted by the Mexican gov efnmeht, "one yearTs pay and a small farm for each of his men. a grant equal to $2,000,000 gold. One of the most notable escapades Of Villa wa* his raid on Columbus, N. M.. on March Sj in which he and his followers killed 1.7 Ameri cans. It resulted in a punitive Am erican military expedition under Gen eral IVrshi'ng crossing the border and maintaining a "dead or alive puisu?l of Villa which lasted more than nine months a lid cost the; United States government, according to . a \\ ai De partment estimate, nearly $100,000, 0l?O. In a battle at Parral, American troopers were ambushed and a num ber <>f them killed. On March 31, how ever, the bandit's followers were de feated at Guerrero. The Americans were successful in a number of other skirmishes : and penetrated so far South into Mexico as to meet the con stitutionalist troop* of CHrranza who ostensibly, were also in pursuit of the renegade Mexican leader. Villa, wounded, but always eluding his pursuers, lived in a Chihuahua | mountain cave for five weeks. It \sas I loeated m the center of a perpendic j.ular clifT which rose 150 feet from ? brook on the level plain below, and from this point \ ilia said he often winched the A merican t roc?ps. Manv times he was reported dead. Upon the American Army's withdrawal- from Mexico. Villa renewed his depreda tions On April 1, 10D'?, he was in ? ti iff I'd fur first- degree murder at Dcm ing. N. M-. on account of the Colum bia raid. Villa's real name was Doreteo Orango. He was born in IKrtXof peon parentage in the little mining town of I. as Nievas. As a youth be followed thi ;:ade ai butcher until the. death of his father and then he and his m >ther and sister wc nt to Western < hihuahua. There he became a cow boy. Many -lories have been told as i?< how he became an outlaw, but the u i.e ni< <t generally accepted is that it was because lie killed a captain in one I of president Diaz's regiments, l>iar> ! ? hen plac ed_aj>rice on his head. It was_ 1 sTt tlii < time that he changed his name t., Villa. He organized a band of outlaws and became a terror to the rich land owners <#i?l mining men of Northern Chihuahua, robbing them and sharing the spoils with his fol lt i we i s and the impoverished peons. When the Madero revolution against Diaz occurred in 1010, Villa became a military lcade.r in that mo\cnicnt. At one time he was arrested and sent to Mexico City by General Victoriano Huerta. He was condemned to death bv a military court for insubordina Hon. Madero saved bis life. ^ ilia ' later est aped and fled across the I ex rrr5 ? hoi ili i m* I I Huerta became dictator after Made j assassination in 10 13 and when j Carranza revolted against Huerta in Coahuila, Villa reentered Mexico to tight for Caruanza and organise a campaign against the man who had imprisoned him. I'eona flocked to hia standard und he is said to have gath ered an army of K5.000 meij. Villa's first gicat victory against the Huerta troops was at Ojinaga. After the battle, 4,000 men and eight general* of the federal army took Te fugo in the United States and were interned. In other fights^. including San Pedro, <le las Colonies, Puredon and Torreon, Villa was also trium phant. Then came an estrangement between Villa and Carranza and when the latter made his triumphal entry into Mt \u <> City, following the re tirement of Huerta, the bandit leader declared way upon the new president. With Kmilo Zapata, another barn^t chieftain opposed to Huerta, Villa made common caus-t They occupied Mexico City with their troops, forcing Garranza's retirement to Vera Cruz. General Alvaro ubregon, later succes sor to de la Huerta to the presidency, and loyal to Carranza, led an army out to meet them. At CetAya, Irapu ato and Cilao he defeated the Villa Zapata forces. In those battles Obre gon lost on arm and Villa lost his !>u . ii< ? a - a commander. The Villa and Zapata followers were dispersed. One disaster followed another and villa retreated across the mountains to Sonora where he joined forces with the Yaqui chieftain Urba.lejo, In the years that followed, and up to the time of the Columbus, N. M., raid, Villa's influence as a military leader steadily- waned. Defections from V illa's ranks continued, many of his generals leaving him and accept ing the amnesty of the Carranza gov ernment. 'Villa sent his wife across the' border and with only a few hun dred men resumed the bandit raitta for which in earlier years he had been notorious. Then came the overthrow of the Carranza regime, the rise of the de la Hut rta provisional ' government and the election of Obregonf Obregon had had proved Villa's master in the field. On May .27, H)2o!*thVee federal forces started out to capture Villa and the following July as 8.00U men w&re clos ing in on him, he agreed to an?armis tic* an.d surrendered to General Eu genio Martinez at Sabinas, practically on his own terms. ??
