MEXICANS FIRE ON SOLDIERS
IN DARK OF NIGHT
ASLEEP when ATTACKED
Turbulent Political Conditions In
Texas Town-Cavalry Rushed to
Scene Of Trouble.

Laredo, Tex, Nov. 1.-THE four
Texas rangers sent to Rio Grande
city to quiet the turbulent political
conditions there and to investigate
the assassination of District Judge
Welch, which occurred the night be-
fore the election, were ambushed by
body of armed Mexicans between
Fordice and Rio Grande City late last
night The Rangers were asleep in
camp when awakened by volley Of
shots from the darkness. A pitched
battle ensued and four of the attack
ing party were killed, one fatally
wounded and two captured. The
Rangers escaped mscathed.
Governor Lanham today ordered
company of cavalry to Starr county
and special train is now carrying
the troops on fast run. The situa-
tion in Starr county was brought
about by alleged election Irregular
ities due to political clubs supplying
Mexican residents with poll tax re-
ceipts and insisting that they be al
lowed to vote. Judge Welch, who
was assasinated Monday night, had
gone from his home in Corpus Christi
to be present at Rio Grande City on
election day in an effort to prevent
disorders. He was assasinated while
asleep at night II is charged that
armed representatives of political
clubs controlling the Mexican vote,
patrolled voting places on election
day and refused to allow members OF
the opposing faction TO vote. Several
shooting affrays occurred, but no one
was killed or wounded, II Is charged
by one faction that Welch was mur-
dered by a hired assassin and that
last nights ambush Of Rangers was
instigated by the same faction which
inspired the murder Of Welch.
There are reports here Of continued
rioting at Rio Grande City, the ex-
tent of which is not yet known.
