Battle Near Las Vacas Ends In Devastation And Flight
An attack by revolutionists on Mexican troops in Las Vacas Coahuila near the Texas border left forty to fifty dead and the commanding officer badly wounded. The assault centered on the federal customs house as troops held a six hour defense while revolutionaries burned officers quarters and captured cavalry horses. Communication lines were cut but reinforcements were not sent until after the siege ended and many rebels reportedly fled toward the United States.
