TELL HOW GIRL WAS OUTRAGED
BY VI LLISTAS FATHER KILLED
El Paso, April 11. U. S. cavalry
reported today to have crossed into
Durango state after Villa. Far in ad
vance of them, Villa is said to have
reached Tepehuanez, on the state
road to Durango City: -
Arrivals from Chihuahua City to
day brought new version of Villa's
injury at Guerrero, March 30. They
said Adreas Rehaza, Mexican, shot
Villa through the leg after Rehaza's
daughter had been outraged. Villa's
men caught Rehaza, and Villa per
sonally, while still suffering acutely
from the wound, killed Rehaza.
Chihuahua passengers also added
Leon Bari, French merchant of Guer
rero ; four Arab peddlers and a num
ber of Mexicans to three Americans
and two other foreigners reported
killed by Villa's men at Minaca.

be Dr. A. T. Stell, Frank Woods, Her
man Blankenburg and Donald Mac
Gregor. How Carranzistas in Durango City
will treat Villa was question upper
most in minds of El Paso officials to
day. Portion of Durango garrison
under Arrieta brothers reported to
have declared itself against Ameri
can invasion of Mexico. This is un
confirmed. Other reports that Arrie
tas are Villa's personal enemies and
are entrenched at Durango City.
