FORMER CATTLE
KING OF MEXICO
POSSES BEYONI
Gen. Luis lerrazas, Victim o
Villa Persecution, Dies
at Chihuahua.
j EL I’ASO, Tex., June — C.i>n
I.uls Terrazas, heaviest sufferer Iron
! the activities of Pancho Villa dtirlnj
the years that bandit terrorized north
ern Mexico, died last night at hi:
home in Chihuahua City. He wai
almost 94 years of age and ha<
never recovered entirely from i
stroke of paralysis suffered foui
years ago.
Gen. Luis Terrazas, once one ol
the greatest cattle kings of Mexico
lost almost all His fortune in the
Villa revolution and became an exile
in the United States in 1913. In
1920, he returned to what was left
of his estates near Chihuahua City
and recovered possession of most of
his holdings in the vicinity of that
city, including one of his palatini
homes.
At the height of his fortune, Gen
eral Terrazas is said to have owned
5,000,000 to 7,000(0(10 acres of land in
Chihuahua and his weattji was esti
mated at $40,000,000. He owned
great herds of cattle.
Villa Confiscated Estates
Francisco villa conuscaieu hii ms
pstates and killed his stock. Gen
eral Terrazas' friends have said that
the General prayed to outlive the
former bandit chieftain so that he
might “follow Villa into the next
world and there denounce him for
his sins.”
Terrazas was 84 years old when he
was compelled to flee from Mexico
with his family. For six years, he
lived in El Paso, Texas, some of the
time at the home of A. B. Fall, then
United States Senator and later Sec
retary of the Interior. Subsequently,
he lived for about, a year in I-os An
geles with 23 members of his family.
vVhen he returned to Chihuahua in
1920, he undertook with the aid of
his two sons Juan and Alberto Ter
razas, to rebuild his fortune, restock
his ranges and accumulate settlers
for his best land.
Meantime, the government had
claimed many thousands of acres of
the land he formerly owned rjn the
ground that he had lost title to It
under the law. That land is subject
to confiscation unless it is tilled.
Much of it was distributed among
poor Mexicans who fanned it.
Son Is Tortured
General Terrazas' son and name
sake, Luis Terrazas, Jr., was thrown
into prison by Villa and held there
for more than a ' year. He was
hanged by the neck until almost deBd
to force him to reveal the hiding
place of the gold reserve of the
Banco Minero, the Terrazas bank
In Chihuahua. This was found hid
den in a hollow metal column in the
bank lobby and 800,000 pesos in
Mexican gold coins were removed
from the column and confiscated by
Villa. “Luis Chico,” as he was
known, escaped and reached the bor
der. His health was shattered and
he died soon after in Los Angeles.
