Years Ago in Brewster County Raid and guard formations noted
A Glen Springs raid by Mexican outlaws ended with the killing of three soldiers and a youth, while U.S. Cavalry tightened border actions as President Wilson ordered National Guard mobilization in Texas. Local officials reshuffled county offices as health, treasury, and public services saw changes. Community events included bridge parties, dinners, and a large Home Guard assembly prompted by County Judge A Turney. Local leaders and residents, including the Ellis Wood home and surrounding families, are named amid these tensions.
