The Second Battle of Bauche took place as part of the larger Battle of Ciudad Juarez.
News was spreading on the American soldier of fortune attack at Mexicali.
The participation by Americans here was distinctly different than that which was seen at Juarez earlier that week as the American solders were members of the IWW. Their commander, Stanley Williams or Willian Stanley, the name varies in different accounts was a wobbly. At any rate Williams, who was killed in the battle at Leroy Little's Ranch, was reportedly a deserter from the US Army, in which he'd been a Quartermaster with the rank of Sergeant.
These troops had crossed from California and were mostly radical Socialist, showing the different character of the revolution in some part of Mexico. Largely forgotten now, American Socialist took a strong early interest in the revolution including such notables as Emma Goldberg.
