      Army of Children Claim Villa's Estate; 7,000,000 Pesos in Buried Treasure Sought
      -
      MEXICO CITY, July 29 (Associated Press.) - The fight of his numerous widows and children for the estate of Francisco Villa, slain bandit chieftain, promises to become as exciting as the search for the 7,000,000 pesos which "Pancho" is popularly reported to have buried in the vicinity of Parral.

      Reports from Chihuahua state that Villa had a presentiment of death several weeks before his assassination, and wrote to several of his wives, promising them shares of his estate. Thus far five wives and a small army of children have filed claims, in addition to his brother Hipolito and his sister Mariana.

      The wives who have filed claims are as follows:

      Esther Cardona of Chihuahua, who has two children; Paula Alamillo of Torreon, no children; Soledad R. De Villa of Canutillo, one son; Petra Espinosa of Santa Barbara, one son; and Austreberta Renteria, Canutillo, one son.

      Claims also have been filed by:

      A daughter, Maria, of Canutillo, mother unknown; a son by Juana Torres, who died recently in Los Angeles; a son by the late Guadalupe Coss, whose father Villa slew; a son by the late Asuncion R. De Villa, Canutillo.

      More than a dozen other children in Parral and Canutillo claim the bandit chieftain as their father, alleging that their mothers were kidnapped by him and never reappeared.

      Reports of the buried treasure are believed by the authorities to be without foundation.
