Territorial Crisis Extends Time to Pay Ransom
El Paso dispatches report Terrazas III receives extension to Sunday night to pay a $250,000 ransom for his capture. Villa confederates fail to raise funds as Mexican authorities seize property, hindering payment options amid ongoing turmoil and rebel movements toward Torreon. The conflict sees heavy losses with 400 rebels killed between Conojos and Escalón. A government warrant charges Villa and Carfania with murder for William Benton’s execution, branding both as fugitives from justice. The U.S. promises no whitewash and prepares to back Carranza against Villa.
