New York Times 100 years ago today, April 7, 1913:
Moves on Lampasas — Two Columns to Attack Col. Carranza.
MONTEREY, Mexico, April 6.— Gen. Trucy Aubert is moving on Lampasas after a fight yesterday at Bustamente, where he defeated the rebels, who retreated westward through a gap in the mountains. The losses in the battle have not been reported. Gen. Aubert's victory was due largely to the artillery and machine gun fire of his men.
The general plan of the Federals is for two columns, one under Gen. Aubert, the other under Gen. Casso Lopez, to move against Monclova, the headquarters of Col. Venustiano Carranza, rebel Governor of the State of Coahuila.
