MEXICO CITY, Sept. 80 R-With
the first political assassination of the

to have been committed and a chal-
lenge for either an apology or duel

serting that a. Serrano propagandist
named j. Cruz Monroy had been as
sassinated at Tepic in. the state of
Nayarit, because he was Serrano's sup
porter.
The statement also alleges that
anti-re-electio ctionists- opponents of for
mer President Obregon and supporters
of General Serrano or Gomez are be-
ing prosecuted in different parts of
the republic by government officials.
General RodolfO Herrerp, command
er of the forces opposed to Carranza
at the time Of the latter's death, has
issued a public statement that Can
dido Aguilar, Carranza's foreign min
lister, must fight him or retract and
apologize for the statement Aguilar
recently made public that Herrero as
sassinated Carranza at Obregon's or
derS. Herrero asserts that Carranza
committed suicide rather than sur
render and that his body was found
by Herrero's men after they had cap
tured Carranza's officers.

towns and villages in the state OF
Guanajuato have been seized by sup

The Globe-Democrat estimated 5000
or more buildings, residences and
business houses were demolished or

Although the storm did its greatest
damage in st. Louis proper, it also
struck across the Mississippi river in

more than 20 injured, three per-
