Farm Colony Established on Terrazas Land North of Chihuahua
Gen Francisco Marguia, commanding northeastern forces, has begun an agricultural colony on Terrazas estates north of Chihuahua City that were confiscated by Villa in 1918. Terrazas, once the wealthiest Mexican landowner, owned about two thirds of Chihuahua with fifteen ranches valued around 200 million dollars before the revolution. Villa seized the property and held Luis Terrazas Jr, with torture alleged to force disclosure of where $500,000 was hidden. Terrazas Jr later escaped to the United States and died soon after in Los Angeles.
