MEXICAN LEADER WAS BANDIT

Gen. Pancho Villa, Whose Ferocity Has Stirred the United States, It Picturesque Character.

New Villa, whose treatment of non-combatant Spaniards has'aroused United States protest, is one of the most picturesque of the leaders that have sprung up in Mexico during the present hostilities.

Before the insurrection he was a bandit, and while he apparently has made some effort to curb his tendencies, the ferocity of certain of hijs acts have inspired those who may come under his displeasure with the utmost fear.

Gen. Pancho Villa.
