Many a Shot

Twelve thousand cartridges were fired last week by Mexican soldiers in the Canon de Mazabampo, between 9 a. m. and 3 p. m., as the perennial guerrilla war (TIME, Oct. 4) to subdue rebellious Yaqui Indian tribes continued. Killed by the 12,000 shots were three Indians; wounded, seven; subdued and captured, one.

To crown the anti-Yaqui campaign of the week, came news that War Minister Amaro was seriously wounded by a reputed Yaqui sniper near Ocotlan-- though in other despatches he who sniped was said to be a mutinied Mexican trooper.
