American fliers freed after ransom paid and pursuit begins
American cavalrymen and airplanes crossed the border at Candelaria Texas at daybreak pursuing Mexican bandits who kidnapped Lieutenants H G Peterson and Paul H Davis. $15,009 ransom was paid last night before the pair were released, and Davis and Peterson guided the pursuing force. Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman left San Antonio for Eagle Pass and possibly Marfa to coordinate, while Col. Langhorne led the immediate chase with 200 cavalrymen and trucks ready for action. The operation, advised by a plan to pursue bandits back across the border, anticipates withdrawal once captures are achieved. The release came shortly after midnight with details of ransom delivery and money placement prompting further telegrams for clarification.
