State of Oaxaca Overrun by Bandits in Mexico
Across the border near Ejutla and Oaxaca bandits kill and rob Americans amid Carranza efforts to restore order. An affluent Los Angeles mine investor, Andréw J. Trumbo, reports eight bodies hanging from trees and cites a former federal officer commanding 300 men with cannon and machine guns. He says conditions force him to leave. In El Paso, Mexican Consul Garcia says Bernardo and Federico Duran confessed to killing American Bert Akers and face execution. Border tensions rise as US guards clash with Mexican troops and officials bar rag imports for health reasons.
