Mexicans Shoot American Official Near Juarez
El Paso, Texas: Charles B. Dixon, U.S. immigration inspector from San Diego, was shot in the back by Mexican federal soldiers while in Juarez on official business. Dixon fled toward the border after being marched by troops, who he says were drunk. The incident prompted strong U.S. representations to the Huerta government demanding arrest and punishment of the soldiers and release of mining managers menaced with execution.

Fire protection guards Oregon forests to save billions
Oregon, aided by the federal government, spends about 150000 for fire defense with another 150000 from the federal budget and 75000 from the state for two years.
