Fortunately tnere was a very fair buy
ing demand for both killers and feeders,
so that the market opened in reasonably
fair season in the morning. The trade
was not active partly because of the late
arrival of some trains and partly be-
cause of the sorting and shaping up that
had to be done before the cattle COULD
be shown. Still they kept changing hands
and desirable kinds of both beef and

BORDER SITUATION
is BECOMING ACUTE
Horses Stolen by Bandits in Texas
During Raids Are Delivered
in Matamoras.
MANY ALARMS DURING NIGHT

BROWNSVILLE, Tex. Aus IT,
The border situation along the lower
Rio Grande assumed a threatening
aspect today. Gathering of Mexlcans
in force last night at Progreso, on the
Rio Grande. thirty miles above
Brownsville. and their daring attack
from across the river on a troop OF
the Twelfth United States cavalry,
was not the only aggravating feature
OF the situation.
Authorities here received reports
that twenty-five horses, including
some recognized as animals stolen By
bandits in recent raids on the Texas
side, we're delivered this week in
Mstamoros. the Mexican town op-
posite here held by Carranza troops
Delivery of these horses and the fact
that the MeNicans at Progreso had been
gathering openly and IN conspicuously
largo numbers for days. created suspicion
among Americans that Carranza Off
oials were lax in discipline or without
sufficient dependable troops to cope with
tho bandit element on the Mexican side
The death OF Corporal wilman I'm the
fight at the Pregreso crossing last night
and the wounding OF Lieutenant Roy @.
Henry and Private jackson. intensified
feeling In this section.
For nearly twenty miles. about Pro
greso crossing alarms were sounded by
rifle shots and by bells last night. Armed
mon patrolled roads and women and chill
dren were gathered where they could h,
guarded.
Early today more troops reached Mer-
oedes and tho Progreso section. They
were infantrymen from the Twenty-sixth
regiment. which reached here yesterday
from Texas City.
Colonel Billiard strengthened the pa
trolls about Progreso and Mercedes I'm
the afternoon so that there are 500 cav
airy and infantry In that vicinity.
Reports by Mercedes officials last
night that more than $50 Mexicans had
crossed into Texas under cover OF this
fight proved unfounded. Officers who
were I'm the Progreso fight said they
were sure that all firing came from thu
Mexican side OF the river.
