Fl Paso, Texas, June 2S.-Ex-
citement here over the Mexican con-
troversy was renewed tonight with
receipt of the news Of bandit raid

be that the incident demonstrated

to the American frontier, and would
serve TO bring matters to head
quickly.

American negro troopers faced al

This was the story told by Capt.

minutes the men fought, joking
among themselves all the while even

out alive" he said,

GREAT ALLIED OFFENSIVE
BELIEVED To Be NEAR
GERMAN POSITION IN SOMME
VICINITY BEING POUNDED
BY BRITISH GUNS.

London, June Evidence of
what it is hoped here is the long ex-
pected simultaneous offensive by all
of the allies continued today.
At the northern end of the west
ern line, from south Of Artois to
Flanders, the British and French
guns are still pounding the German
positions, and are directing an espec-
tally violent fire in the vicinity of
Scmme. AT some points the bonn
bardment has been incessant for ~
hours.
In the Verdun section on this, the
l27th day of the battle, the French
have made slight advance east of
the Meuse in a strong effort against
the Thiamont works, and, according
TO Paris, have repulsed series OF
German attacks west Of the river.
In the Tyrol, the Austro-H -Hungar.
ian army, according to late Rome
reports, have developed their re.
tract into a flight. in which the
wounded, guns and stores are abard
oned. For the first time since nos
tilities opened, Italy is using cavalry
in the pursuit.
On the eastern line the Russian
either continue their pursuit of tn,
Anstrians IN the Carpathains or ar,

Germans in the northern sections o.

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING GONDs
DECLARED TO Be VALID
ATTORNEYS FOR PURCHASERS
ARE SATISFIED AND ADVISE
COMPLETION OF DEAL.

All doubt concerning the legality
Of the issuance of bonds in the SUN
of $4,000 for the erection of a
high school builing in Columbus
which were voted by qualified cleo
tors, several months ago has been
settled in letter recently received
by Capt. D. p. Davis, municipal sec
retary and treasurer, from the In
rerstate Bank and Trust Company
of New Orleans, which concern, af-
ter having agreed to purchase the
bonds, hesitated at concluding nego-
tations because they feared the law
had not been fully complied with.
Fear that the bonds were not legal
was occasioned by the fact that they
were issued by the Columbus Separ-
ate School District, and not by the
city of Columbus as a municipality
Messrs. Dillon, Thompson and Clay,
attorneys residing in New York, to
whom the matter was referred, could
not at first understand why the
bonds were issued by the school dis
trct instead of the municipality but
an examination of local laws thor.
oughly satisfied them as to their le-
gality and they have advised the In
terstate Bank and Trust Company Ia
complete the purchase.
There still remain few formali-
ties to go through with, but it is be
lieved that negotiations will be com.
pleted and the money available fol
use within very short time.
