San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 21.-Three
United States soldiers were killed and
six wounded in. engagements with
Mexican bandits near Ojo De Aqua,
thirty miles north of Brownsville early
today.
The dead are: Sergeant Shafer,

The bandits retreated before fresh
troops. arrived. The search for the
bandits continues.
1t is also reported that a rancher

Grande were massacred by the ma
rauders late last night.
Notwithstanding the fact that an
order has been issued to civilians and
Rangers to keep away from the border
and not interfere with United States
troops, number Of border residents
have again organized for protection,

MOTION To REHEAR
CROSS TAX CASE

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 21.-
Preparations are being made by the
attorney generals office to file in the
supreme court a motion for rehear-
ing in the gross production tax case.
The court decided that the law is con
stitutional, but in so deciding sacrific-
ed the theory of the state that the
state may tax federal instrumental
ties as represented in the Usage Ma
ton leases and in the departmental
leases, 1t is the belief Of the attorney
generals office that this ruling ought
to be changed SO that the state will
not be prevented from realizing a
revenue from the leases, and IL. is on
this point that rehearing is to be
asked by the state. 1t is possible also
that the oil companies, or at least
some of them, will ask a rehearing on
the parts of the law that have been
held by the court to be valid.
Another angle OF the gross produc-
tion revenues is seen in the case that
has been pending for some time in the
federal court here, which was filed by
Burford, Robertson & Hoffman for
the Prairie Oil and Gas company. This
case seeks to recover the gross pro
duction taxes paid in by the company
named under the gross production law
and goes to the constitutionality of the
law. It's decision will set up another
and conceivably different construction
from that which has been rendered by
the state supreme court. In the mean
time the questions centering about the
law are to large extent undecided.
