THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 21, 1927

* Federal soldiers train massacre
* El Limon, Jalisco, Mexico
* Cristero War - Zapatistas
* Jose Reyes Vega


The front page has a two column headline: "100 SLAIN OR BURNED ALIVE IN MEXICAN TRAIN HOLD-UP; LOCKED IN CARS BY OUTLAWS" with subheads. (see)
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 56 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. A little irregular along the spine, nice condition.
