/ Ns gn CL q 'Washington, May 13. Following the speech of Senator Stone in de- fence of the president, in the senate, Senator Lodge said he had seen it published that the state department was preparing a biography of Gen- eral Villa for the benefit of the Ame 'people. Mr, Lodge said he had a contribu- tion to make to that literature, and sent to the desk to be. read an ar- ticle in the London Daily Telegraph of April 15, 1914, which gave some account of Villa, with names, dates and places, that he thought the state department ought to know. He read the article, as follows: "Born at Las Nieves, Durango, 1868. Unable to read and barely able to sign his name. When four- teen he was sentenced to imprison- ment for cattle stealing. : On his discharge, settled in a mining camp at Guatace, where a few months lat- er he underwent another imprison- ment sentence for homieide. Upon his second release from prison he or- ganized a band of robbers. They pillaged the region of 'Perico' in Du- rango, and were the terror of that district. "In 1907 he was in partnership with one Francisco Reza stealing cattle in Chihuahua and selling them in the United States and steal- ing mules and horses in the United States and selling them in Chihua- hua. "He killed his partner while sit- ting in the plaza of the city of Chi- huahua. In early Nove ber, 1910, he attacked the factory of Mr. Sono, in Aliendé and killed the owner. By threatening the daughter he obtain- ed $11,000 and used it in arming a considerable force. Next he joined the Madero revolution, and in Janu- ary, 1911, was at Casas Grandes, where he killed Carlos Alatorre and Louis Orfez for refusing to pay ran- som money he had demanded. "In February of the same year at Batapilas he tortured Senora Marie de la Luz Momez. "When Cindad Juarez was taken in May 1911, he killed Ignacis Go- mez Oyola, an aged and infirm man of sixty, merly for denying that he had arms concealed on his premises, "After the triumph of the revolu. tionists in November, 191 1, Villa Was granted a monoply by the Gov- ernor of Chiluahua for the sale of neat in that eity. This he procured by stealin, ranches. He sus- pected Cristobal Juarez a subordin- ate, of stealing on his own account and killed him, < "Barly in May 1913, Villa, with seventy-five men, attacked a bullion train © in Chihuahua, killing the créw and several passengers, includ- ing Senor - Caravates. and Senor { Isac Herrerro of Cluded - Guerrero. In the same month at San Andres he assaulted the house of Sabas Murga. The nephews of this man were killed, but Murga escaped. Two sons-in-law of Murga, who had not taken part in the fight, were cap- tured, tortured and then killed. "Villa's band later, in May, 1913, took the town of St. Rosalia, shoot- ing all prisoners and treating the principal officers with terrible cruelty. Business houses were sacked, many private persons mur- dered, the worst case being that of Senor Montilla, cashier of a bank. "Montilla was shot, over the head of his wife, who was attempting to defend him. Villa kicked the wife in the face as she lay over the dead body of her husband. He also~killed Senor Ramos, secretary of Court of First Instance, arrested twenty of the principal people and tortured them until he obtained 70,000 pesos. 7 "In July, 1913, Villa took Casas Grandes and shot more than eight non-combatants, violating several girls, amongst them two young women named Castillo. "In September, 1913, he took thi town of San Anfres, shooting many 4 peaceable residents and more than 150 and children.

Chase's Nerve Food ' Cured Two Most doctors feel helpless when brought face to face with nervous prostration. They do not understand diseases of the nerves very well, and recovery is often so slow that both doctor and patient lose patience. For this reason the results accom- plishetyby Dr. Chase's Nerve Food are almost beyond relief. And yet this ttreatment does not perform mir- acles, but works in the most natural way imaginable to prodfice health and strength. : Here is described a case of three fears' standing which was thorough- ly cured a year ago by Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. It is like thousands of other cures which are being brought about by this great nerve restorative: Mrs. H. €. Jones, Scotch Lake, C.

They made elaborate geo- graphical /notes, so that they would be able tH find it again, and then re- turned «€ith the object of making the necessary arrangements to work the mine.
