He was taken from the jail by a mob of residents of
 the little town, augmented by hundreds
 jail by d mob of residents of the lit tie town, augmented by hundreds from the neighboring regions, marched two
 miles from the town and shot to death. Noting the ugly temper of the people
 and anticipating trouble, local author tiles reported the situation to Gov. lsenito Juarez, who was in San Ger ! onimo about 40 miles from Rincon An tonio. He secured the consent of Cen eral Merodio to send troops to the vil- | lage. Before the troop train arrived, however, the guard of nine rurales con-
 stituting the entire military force of
 the town which had battled with the mob of q thousand or more, had been cverpowered by the rabble and the | prisoners were carried off into the hills. 1 What the fate of the latter might
 have been is problematical, but it was
 hastened by the approach of the troop
 train. The mob had stopped with is prisoners at a little station. As tile train approached it was recognized as | a troop train and without waiting long
 CT the prisoners were riddled with bul-
 lets and the men fled in the hills. Oniy
 the bodies of their victims were en- countered by the soldiers when they
 alighted from the cars.

 Viva OaXaca Libre" ('Independence')
 and ("Death to Madero"D.
 Among the lynchers were many of the former followers of Gomez who declared he had betrayed them. Numerous com missions are reported to have called upol the governor and assured him of theii
 loyalty and support.
