MKXICO CITY, Doc. 1. General
I Villa entered tho capital today at tho
head of 35,000 troops.
That Francisco Villa, tho ono-tlmo
! bandit, .would bo president of Mexico
i or dfq In the attempt, was a predic
tion made mora than a year ago by
j some of his close friends. With Vil
la's taking pf Tqrreon, the Huerta
; stronghold, last April, observers of
Mexican .affairs discovered that tho
"unlettered bandit general" was a
; born genius as a strategist and com-
.mander, and from tho time of his
first promlnonco as a follower of the
J Constitutionalist chief Carranza
I there appeared the possibility that he
wquid somo day overshadow this mild
mannered old lawyer-general a3 a
leader in Mexico.
Villa arrived in tho afternoon In
i the suburbs, where ho remained dur
i Ing the evening receiving delegations
nd forelFi consuls. Villa will not
j enter the capital part of tho city un
itll the arrival of Provisional Presl
i'lpnt Outlerre.
Now that he has entered Mexico
before Dlxmudo Is m progress,
MFX1 CD CITY T
City, tho capital Itself scarcely knows
who this man Villa Is. Howovor fa
miliar his name, Villa has never cens
ed to bo nn onlKinn. Those who havo
seen tho worst side of him have noy
or pictured him bottor than n primi
tive man, still tho red-handed bandit
ho was years ago. Othors seo him
changed so remarkably as to look
seriously to hlin as tho "Saviour of
Mexico."
llomnutie Story.
Sketching what Is most Interest
ing about Villa rather than what, per
haps, Is tho most veracious, thero Is
the romantic story of how he turned
bandit. Horn In 18C8 In tho llttlo
town of Las Nlevos, In tho stato of
Durnngo, ha remalnod theivj until
the death of his fathor. Then, as a
protector of his mothor and sister,
he became a cowboy In wostern Chi
huahua. From their parents, who
were peons of northern Mexico (some
accounts say of a very good family),
the children, had Inherited Spanish
and Indian "blood nnd traits. The
story Is that whon a reglmont of Por
flrio Diaz soldlors onco visited the
town, tho eyes of a captain alighted
0n Villa's sister. There was an elope
ment without marriage. The moBt
melodramatic accounts Bay that Villa
galloped aftor tho elopors, caught
thorn and arranged their marriage
Then ho told his newly acquired
brother-in-law to sign his death cer
tificate, dig his own grave and lie
boside It. Villa shot the bridegroom
and rolled him Into the grave. Pres
ident Diaz, hearing of his officer's
death, set a prlco on Villa's head.
Whatever tho exnet truth, something
of this sort occurred.
Villa escaped lo the mountains and
became a bandit H's real name had
