From a Cabinet Minister, such a Deadwood Dick account was white hot news. But what of the Presidential announcement of the burning to death of Senora Refugia Obregon Ponce de Leon? That confessed War Minister Amaro, had been a slightly premature announcement. The Senora Ponce de Leon had been expected to travel by the attacked train but, actually, she remained safe at Guadalajara.

Uncharitable critics of Sr. Obregon and Sr. Calles have intimated that the anti-Yaqui campaign so grandiloquently projected will degenerate into a mere employment of the soldiers of the republic to coerce the citizenry far and wide into voting at municipal, general and presidential elections in a manner agreeable to Sr. Obregon and Sr. Calles.
