Francis Elroy Barden, NEA Service special correspondent, recounts the Battle of Juarez as Mexican rebels under Gen. Marcelo Caravero clash with federal forces for control of the border city. The piece details the surprise assault along Sixteenth Street, heavy firing, rebel and federal casualties, the hotel headquarters siege, and the chaotic street scenes as wounded civilians and soldiers are tended by the Mexican Blue Cross and a rough-to-rough retreat toward the Rio Grande.
