AMERICANS KILLED
AIDING WOUNDED.
Two Doctors and Their Chauf-
feurs We're With Villa.
FIRED UPON BY GALES MEN
Also Informs American Army officers
At Naeo That He viii Not
Permit the Bodies To Be
Disinterred.

Naco, Ariz.-Francisco Villa, with
5000 of his troops defeated at Aqua
Prieta by the forces of Gen. P. Elias
Gales, Carranza commander there,
reached Naco, the Mexican town
across the border from here, and told
American army officers that four
Americans were shot down by Gales
troops while succoring wounded under
a Red Cross flag in front of the breast
works at Aqua Prieta.
The Americans killed were, accord
ing to Villa DR.. R. II. Tighen, chief
surgeon of the Cananea Consolidated
Copper Company; his assistant, DR..
Miller and two American chauffeurs,
]. D. Pylant and A. L. Wilson. Villa,
while formally expressing regret at
their deaths, declined to say where
they are buried. He said he could not
permit any bodies to be disinterred,
even to clear a doubt that they actu-
ally had been killed.
This doubt was caused by the state
ment of Dr. Frederick II. Wickman, of
ST. Louis, Mo-, who dashed across the
line shouting that he was about to be
shot, and afterward declared that he
had seen Drs. Tighen and Miller.
Wiclman, however appeared to be
somewhat dazed from fatigue and from
shock sustained while under death
watch awaiting execution for some un-
known offense.
