Los sangrientos sucesos en la ciudad de Puebla, la muerte del jefe de policía Miguel Cabrera

Broadside shows bust portrait of Chief of Police Miguel Cabrera juxtaposed with a scene showing a shootout involving a woman and several uniformed men in a compound. The text conveys the pre-revolutionary altercation in the city of Puebla, describing the exchange of fire between the anti re-electionist Aquiles Cerdán [i.e. Serdán] and his family with local officials--including the police and local army--on November 18, 1910. The fighting lasted three hours and the casualties consisted of close to a hundred dead and wounded. Among the dead was Police Chief Miguel Cabrera. On the verso there is an additional text in verse titled "Sad lamentations of the shocked and heroic inhabitants of Puebla."
