Answer 3

There's a good chance he was captured in the 1913/4 time frame as in 1912 Ponco Villa and his raiders destroyed the LDS colony Colonia Duaz, Chihuahua, Mexico and situated about 13 miles due south of Columbus, New Mexico, USA which is a border town with Mexico. After the colony's destruction Villa and his gang crossed the international border into downtown Columbus and destroyed the LDS owned businesses / shops. They escaped unharmed. Not so with the colony families. Villa was a large land-owner in Chihuahua and protesting the political decision of Mexican President Diaz to sell tracts of land to the Mormon colonists who were representing many polygamist families back in Utah but needed to either leave the U.S. or break up their families in order for Utah to achieve statehood. Although later LDS colonies were established after the Mexican revolution Diaz was never reoccupied. Today it's a ghost town.
