BTEDFORD MATE TRIBUNE, JOIDFORD. (YREflOMV SATURDAY, JUNE 7 lOtfr VILLA'S AMBITION TO S P. EL' PASO, Texas, June 7. Fran cisco Villa a lovor of peace, a hater of bloodshed and a family man who wishes nothing so much as to work all day on an American rallrpad right of way and go home In the evening to play with his little son and continue his rudimentary educa tion started when he was a prisoner in. the iBelom prison at 'Mexico City, sounds like a paradox. ' Yet that was the Villa of 1913 fol lowing his escape from prison where 'he had heen placed by order of Gon , eral VIctorlano Huerta. After escap ing from prison and Mexico, probably thru President Madero's orders, Villa came to 1 Paso and rented a cheap room In the old Hotel Mexico In the (Mexican quarter. ( Bitting In a little Mexican restau rant of the hotel. Villa told the pres ent correspondent of the Associated Press his plans for the future, his alms and ambitions and also of his expectations for a son to be born to him at the family home of his wife in San Andres, Chihuahua. At that time Villa was known as a reformed bandit who' had followed Madera loy ally and who had fought for indepen . dence and liberty for his people be side . the diminutive revolutionary leader. It was not until later that he again won the title of "bandit" by his raid on Columbus, N. M and his' subsequent acts. - . "I am tired-sick ancf-tlred of war and-revolutions and bloodshed". Villa said In Spanish as he ate the Mexican dishes served, in the little cafe. '-' ''I want no more of It and I have tome to the United States to get . away from" It all and to get a job on the Southern Pacific railroad' and have a home here in the land of the free. I love Mexico but. If I remain there I will be forced Into the polit ical . whirlpool and that Is the one thing I want to avoid now. There will be d little Francisco 'hljo' await ing me when I go back to San Andres to bring Lux (his wife) to the border and for his sake I want to live the life of a working man in the United States where he, will have a chance to get the education which , 1 was cheated out , of by the tyrant Dial who decreed thefe' should ' be ., no i schools In the north for fear'his peo ple would learn of his misrule." .'. , Before. Villa could find employ ment on the railroad Madero , was killed and he. organized an expedi tion consisting of seven men, five mules and three sacks of flour which crossed the border near Hermanas, N. M.a,nd resulted in the Villa revo lution. By a turn of fate, the baby Villa was expecting died at, birth during the battle of . San Andres, which was his first engagement with the Huerta. federals. After that Villa reverted to type and his history was the history- of northern Mexico for the following-five years. His wife is now living In San Antonio, Texas. WYOMING TO HAVE ROES U. S.
