Citizens Take the Unfortunate Men
Out of Jail, March Them Out and
Shoot Them.
A dispatch from Mexico City says
"Che" Gomez, whose rebellion at
Juchitan resulted in a clash between
President Madero and the governor
OF Oaxaca, was lynChed Tuesday az
ternoon at Rincon Antonio. Eight of
Gomez's partisans met like late.
Gomez, who was on his way to the
capital accompanied by ten Of his
followers, was taken from the train
at Rincon Antonio, Oaxaca, Monday
afternoon and placed in jail by order
of Gov. Juarez, in spite Of the fact
that he had been promised safe con-
duct by the president and bore a
passport signed by the executive. He
and eight of his followers were taken
from the jail by a. mob of residents
of the little town augmented by
hundreds from the neighboring reg
ions, marched two miles from town
and shot to death. ..
Noting the ugly temper of the peo-
pie and anticipating trouble, the To-
cal authorities reported the situation
to Gov. Benito Juarez, who was in
San Geronimo, about 40 miles from
Rincon Antonio. He secured the
consent of Gen. Merodio 20 send
troops to the village. Before the
troops arrived, however, the guard of
nine rurales constituting the entire
military force Of the town, which had
battled with the mob Of 1000 or
more, had been overpowered by the
rabble, and the prisoners were car
ried off into the hills.
The mo had stopped with Its pris-
oners at a little station. AS the
train appeared 1t was recognized as
a troop train, and without waiting
longer the prisoners were riddled
with bullets and the assassins fed
iEto the hills. Only the bodies of
their victims were encountered by the
soldiers when they alighted from the
cars. .,,.--.
Reports from San Geronimo to-
night were that mobs of Oaxacans
paraded the streets shouting viva
Juarez," "Viva Oaxaca libre," "Inde-
pendence" and Death to Madero."
Among the lynchers were many OF
the former followers Of Gomez who
declared he had betrayed them. Nu-
merous commissioners are reported
to have called upon the governor and
assured him Of their loyalty and sup
port.

where he was warmly welcomed by

will "go slow" for a while, under

but that he will keep a watch on
proceedings as we'll as he can with
