aga, Mexico, and General Ortega' S
rebel army, which is surrounding the
village, women, children and deserving
soldiers flocked to the border and
crossed the river in such numbers Sun
day that the United States border pa
troll and the Red Cross faced a serious
problem in feeding the. refugees.
1t was necessary to permit food to
be sent across the river to save the
lives of women, children and wounded
federals. For such as waded through
the river there was no shelter. The
church and the few buildings here
had been converted into Red Cross
hospitals.
Major M. w. McNamee, command
ing officer of the patrol, also received
a few federal deserters and held them
prisoners on this side.
