Man Dies to Prove His W ife W as W rong Tell Romanices Women in Various Parts of Mex ico to Claim Estate Worth Millions. Torreón, Mexico.—Ju st how many wives did Francisco Villa huve? The question, for years a subject for speculation as one Mrs. Villa after another w as heard of, suddenly ceased to be academic when the former ban dit leader was killed on bis ranch in Durango recently. From an outlaw with no estate save the price on his head, Villa had be come a large landholder, and his legal wife and children presumably can claim a large inheritance. Several alleged wives have already emerged from obscurity, and inquiries in Chihuahua, Dui align and along the Mexican border indicate that several more probably will do so. He is generally credited there with ten of them. Separated on Nuptial Day. A few days after the bandit chiefs death a corresisimh-nt visited Mrs. I.u* Corral Villa ut Chihuahua City. Mrs. Lux Villa is of a type rare among Mexicans, a blue-eyed, golden-huired, magnificently built woman, with poise and personality. She is about thirty- six years old, and w ell educated. After her marriage she added to her edu cation the accomplishments of paint ing and the piano. She was married to '‘General” Villa, as she always calls him. In 1908, in the Catholic church at San Andres, Mexico, she told the correspondent. They then went to Chihuahua to be married by the court, but before the ceremony could be performed Villa was captured and taken to Mexico City. Up«.n his return to Chihuahua several months later they were mar ried by the court. Villa built a beautiful quinta for her on Tenth street in Chihuahua, oí which the furnishings alone cost 00,- 000 pesos or more, she said, and lav ished gorgeous Jewelry and luxuries upon her. She claims he always spoke of her to his friends as his "only love.” In 1910, during the trouble over the shooting of Americans, Villa sent Dona Lux to the United States for safety, where she remained until 1920. Villa and Dona Lnz had nit chil dren, she says, but during most of the time she was in the United States she took care of and eu.; tted three of his children, whose motheis were un known to her. In 1920 she returned to Mexico, and lived with Villa at Canutillo, Ills Im mense ranch. A few days after she arrived there, «lie declares. Villa brought another wife, Esther Cradone, into the house. Sent Mistress to Another Town. Nominally, however, the large, fair T>ona I.nx triumphed. She told Villa she wo11 !<1 1eave !Idin If he did not «end Esther away\ nnd he yielded.

One day a letter came ad dressed to Villa In a woman's hand. l*ona I.nx opened it. It read: “The law yer that you sent was here to see my father, but my father Is against our marriage because he believes you are already married.

He died Instantly. front acquiring the new wife on whom he hud his eyes. However he man aged it, he presently brought Austa- berta Renteria to Canutillo. Dona I.uz protested in vain ; they quarreled; i lie told her to leave, and she left pen niless, according to her story. Villa, it Is said, had a son by Aus- | taberta, who is still living with his j mother at Canutillo. She Is believed i to be the last wife with whom Villa ! lived.
