From tthe Dallas Times Herald
we learn that the Dallas Revol-
ver Club had a practice shoot
and that several good scores
were made. Considering that a
San Antonio man recently got
two Dallasites at one shot ty be-
hooves the Dallasi/tes to practice
up and be ready for the next
attack.
o
The people of Mexico seem to
be satisfied with Huerta and the
treacherous manner in which he
accomplished the downfall of Ma-
dero. And' then the cowardly ex-
ecution of Gustavo Madero by
Felix Dias was aflso applauded.
Well if Mexico wants such men a
rulers she is welcome to them.
We can stand it if they can.
o
Papers throughout the civilized
world are condemning in no un-
certain language, the murder of
Madiero amid Saurez in Mexico
Huerta and
Daiiz may survive for awhile, but
the bullets that were shot into
these'two distinguished citizens
by the men who should have
been their protectory, may prove
boomerangs.
