CROSSES TO MEXICO:
IS SHOT BY GUARDS
American Patrols Believe
Feige German Spy.

FL Paso, Texas, Dec. oo.--Charlcs n.
F,gc was shot and Killed by t.. s.
a. patrols when he attempted to cross
the river 10 Mexico here late today.
Foige was believed to have heen a
German spy and when his papers were
examined a notebook, a drawing of
around plans of troop camps, of Fort
Bliss and other Notifications near here
We're found.
Feige had been seen In the vicinity
of the outpost station all day with Il
camera in his hand. He WAS warned
away from the river front by the pa
trolls. He then approached two Texas
rangers and asked them to aid him to
cross into Mexico. They told him he
would have to get a passport before
| he could cross. He declared he wanted
to cross to Mexico to take some pie
lures for his own use. He was said
| to have had bank book in his pocket
showing large sums deposited to his
credit in eastern banks. He also had
| wings which We're believed by Sc
| eret service officers to be diagrams OF
eastern plants.
