about Bernardo Bravo
To the Nexicans Of Sonora Bernardo
Bravo was the personification Of all
the malevolent Qualides-he being Q
bandit chief who had turned FIRST gen
eral and then rebel under Madero-
and the fact that he had at last been
driven out of Chihuahua and therefore
over into Sonora, made his malevo-
lence all the more imminent.
Undoubtedly, somewhere over to the
east, where the Sierras lowered like Q
blue wall, Bernardo and his outlaw
followers were gathering for . raid.
and the raid would bring death to So
nora
He was . bad man, this Bernardo
Bravo. and II half Of tho current sto.

Every time Phil started to explain
anything to one Mexican air the 9th.

signs and bending his own hack tc
the task. Also. he refused to under.
