April 6, 1916, El Paso, Texas – The Mexican situation hangs precariously in the balance, shrouded in mystery and secrecy.

The meager news trickling out of Juarez via telegraph offers little insight into the pursuit of the notorious bandit chief, Pancho Villa, beyond confirming that the chase has effectively stalled, at least temporarily.
