American Aviators Rescued from Mexican Bandits
Lieuts. Peterson and Davis, US Army aviators, held by Mexican bandits for over a week, were rescued in American territory by Capt. Matlock of the Eighth Cavalry. Half the ransom was saved, and the captors fled as the two aviators were returned unharmed. The rescue occurred after engine trouble forced a landing on American soil. The pursuit crossed the border, aided by local authorities, with Washington aware of the action.
