The moisture this country has had
up to date during the present month
has been worth millions of dollars
in fact its value can hardly be es-
timated in dollars and cents at the
present time, but can be more ac-
curately done as the season advan-
ces. Old Mother Earth has been tho
roughly wet down, the weather has
become warmer and everything is
growing with a whoop. The dry far
mer is especially rejoicing. and so

Saturday, May a.
President Carranza of Mexico was
assassinated by his own men, accor'
ding to a telegram from Genera
Alvaro Obregon. of Mexico City, re-
ceived by revolutionary agents at E
Paso.
Carranza was killed by troops un.
der General Rodolfo Herrero, a for
mer federal soldier of the Diaz re-
gime. The assassination took place
at Tlaxcaltenango. Puebla.
Carranza's chief followers, who
were with him when he died, ad-
dressed a message to General Pablo
Gonzalaz protesting the assassination
of their chief.
They said Carranza was made a
prisoner and cowardly assassiuated
at the cry of viva Obregon" by
Colonel Rodolfo Herrero and his
men.
THE undersigned OF this message
said the Carranzistas, protest with
all their energy, honor and loyalty
to the entire world this new stain
which has been thrown upon our
country"
Obregon in his answer to this
message, scathingly arranged
Carranza's followers for allowing
him to be assassinated.
1T is very strange" he said, that
group of officers who are vouch-
ing their loyalty and honor like
yourselves and who were accompa-
nying President Carranza with the
unfaltering duty of protecting him,
should have allowed him to be ass
assinated.
| have the right to suppose that
you ran away at the critical moment
without even having made use of
your arms, as none OF you were
wounded. II you had died defending
the life of your chief and friend,
who had showered so many favors
upon you, you would have been hon
ored by public opinion and would be
at rest with your conscience and
would have especially the shame of
your cowardness."
