DELUGED WITH

CUSTOMS OFFICIALS.
SLIGHTLY BURNED

BROWNSVILLE, Tex. Sept. s.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex. Sept. s.
A group OF American soldiers and
customs offieiais narrowly escaped
being boiled alive today when
Mexican switch engine deluged them
with cloud of steam. The engine
came from the Mexican side to get
cars loaded with merchandise for
Matamoros. Soldiers and customs
officials were standing in front Of
the customs house at this end Of the
international bridge. when the en-
Igine was opposite them the engineer
opened the steam cock and poured
boiling steam on the men. They
scrambled hurriedly to places Of
safety and only few OF them were
slightly burned.
Although the engineer claimed
that the incident was unavoidable
the officials believe 1t was deliber-
ate attempt to "get" them and have
so reported to the Carranza consul
here.
Orders have been issued from
Washington that all international
phases of the border situation be
handled by the military. This Is
taken to mean that peace ofIicers
and civilians who had hitherto join-
ed the soldiers in replying to the fire
of Mexicans from across the river
must confine their operations to en-
gaging the bandits in interior dis
/! tricts.
1t is believed the order will result
| in a discontinuance OF pitched bat
ties across the boundary.
| Civil officers tbday burned several
more Mexican houses on this side of
the river where it was suspected
Mexicans were meeting to plot
against the lives and property OF
Americans.
