Roswell Rifles Volunteer Amid Border Tension
A Roswell group of expert riflemen with a motor cycle machine gun section volunteered for duty as tension rises over Mexican moves along the border. Gov Espinoza Mireles of Coahuila reportedly sent 1000 Carranza troops to pursue bandits who attacked Glen Springs last Friday night. Military men fear possible U S Mexico relations break and border violence. American forces fired first. two Mexicans fell, others retreated across the San Vicente Ford pursued by troopers and rangers. Four escaped in the Wense river growth. No American casualties. Mexican residents near Boquillas and Glen Springs fear reprisals and stay hidden. It is shown that many Mexicans on the American side aided the Glen Springs raid under Mexican leadership with over 200 Carranzistas and Villistas nearby.
