Double Guard on Sonora Border Braced for Crisis
On October 8 at Naco Arizona the border guard near Monument No. 9 was doubled after Trooper Braiford was shot. Carranza troops under General Benjamin Hill entrenched fifty feet from the line, as Villa forces say no more attacks will occur until the Aguas Calientes peace conference. Trooper Wilson remains critically wounded at Fort Huachuca. Governor Maytorena warns no further attacks pending talks, but Carranzistas hint at offense, risking U.S. cavalry intervention.
