were received here today by the local
newspapers announcing that General
Villa had been captured by the Car
ranza troops in Chihuahua. The mat

a time, as many of Villa's former ad
herents are in this city and they
feared for the safety of their chief
should he fall into the hands of his
enemies. The matter was afterwards
officially denied by the Carranza au
thorities across the border.
