Old Glory Displayed At Globe Union Hall

April 10 in Globe two pioneer residents Wil lam McFadden and Charles Mayfield led a march to the Miners Union Hall and nailed an American flag to the front windows amid brief protests. The parade moved to the WoW building where a flag was mounted by James Bracco with no serious opposition as locals explained the display. A large crowd cheered as Old Glory streamed from the pole and another banner was hoisted with help from a nearby garage. In Douglas a Carranza telegram ordered a full investigation into the arrest and execution in Agua Prieta, while a second message from Armulfo Gomez suggested the ruling had been justified.
