The followers of De Valera were
responsible for several outrages
along the border today. A renewal
of sniping was followed by a dras-
tic raid into Ulster territory. rhe
invaders were halted at the Envy
vale railroad station. where the po-
lice post was bombarded by ma
chine guns.
The garrison took cover. The
sound of the firing brought REIN
forcements. and eventually the in
vaders retreated over Ballagh bridge
into Free State territory. Their
losses are not known. The police
suffered no casualties.
De Valeraites have issued procla-
nations announcing a bitter boycott
OF the north. a Belfast-Dublin
train was held up last night and
the northern nails seized. Other
railway outrages in Ulster show
that the militant Irish republican
army Is defying the peace agree
