Battle in Nuevo Laredo Town Fights Kills Dozens
Streets of Nuevo Laredo across the border from Laredo Texas saw a daylong clash as Carranzists and federals fought in the Mexican town. Twenty Carranzists and fifteen federals were killed with nearly fifty wounded. Carranzists moved into the city overnight, seized a lard factory, and trenches were dug as dawn rifle fire awakened Americans. Col. Brewer of the 14th United States Cavalry urged no firing toward border points while both sides exchanged shots through the morning before the rebels retreated under federal pressure.
