VILLA REPORTED
TO BE AMERICAN
CITIEN IN DISGUISE
EL PASO. Texas, Fob. 12. If Gen
oral Villa really Is an American, cs
was asserted on W. A. Waynes' and
Fred Scott's authority. In despatches
from San Francisco, It was sold hero
today that he has made himself over
Into a marvellously accurate imitation
ot a Mexican.
Tho story was that tho Mexican
commander was a native ot Maryland,
joined troop I), Tenth United States
Cavalry there, whon Hayncs and Scott
wero members ot It, Immediately be
came first sergeant on the strength
ot previous military experience, loft
tho sorvlco and crossed into Mexico
In 1SS2 on account ot somo troublo
at Fort Davis, Texas, entered tha
army, rose to a major's rank and
later became a bandit and then a
revolutionist. Ills name was give.i
as George Goldsby, though It was said
ho went In tho Moxlcan federal army
by that of Itonstozt.
It tho account had rested solely on
tho testimony of Haynes, It would
hnvo been gonoratly believed horo
that a mistake hnd been made, since
he only professed to havo recognized
his old acquaintance's picture, but
Scott said bo had seen and talked
with him.
An effort was being made here to
day to get In touch with Villa to
loam what ho had to say ot tho
story.

onstration. The hogs had been
bought In Portland In tbo geneVfl

hibition. The fundamentals of Intel
ligent hog buying were demonstrated,
showing tho audience bow to pick

for. General advlco on tho condi
tion and ago for salo wag also given.
Tho best typo for market purposes,
It was pointed out, was tho well
formed hog ot a weight from 17S
pounds to 200 pounds. Heavier hogs

for tho reason that the 200-pound
