ASSASSINATION AND PISTOL
FIGHTS.

MEXICO CITY, 25th August
Federal Congressman Jesus Pineda and a companion were assassinated at Co Una, presumably by political enemies, who killed them from* an ambush and then escaped undetected.
In this city a pistol battle between rivaj, Congressmen was prevented only by the intervention of soldiers guarding the Chamber of Deputies. The rivalry among them is so bitter that trouble is expected whenever they meet unguarded.
