Continued


Ell PASO, March 6LP-One
Mexican was killed and another
wounded today as rum RUNNERS
renewed their assault upon the
American boundary. The skirmish
occurred in the shadow Of st. AIMS
Episcopal mission on South Piedras
street. None of the United States
border patrolmen who engaged in
the fight was reported wounded
although firing was heavy.
The fight was one OF many IN
recent weeks resulting from efforts
of rum smugglers to cross the Amer
lean boundary. Last night border
patrol officers were advised snug
glers would attempt to transport a
large quantity Of liquor across
CordovA island. Immediately the
entire early morning watch Of bor-
der patrolmen was ordered to re-
port for duty and Secrete them
selves in the Piedras street sector.
At daybreak inspectors saw sew
eral men approaching from the
direction OF the international line.
The patrolmen started toward the
group, and as they neared the men
they heard the "plunk" OF sacks
and cans striking the ground. q.
w. Linnankohl, acting chief patrol
inspector said.
Firing is said to have been started
by the smugglers as the officers
came toward them. The patrolmen
ducked 70 cover and answered the
shots, one Mexican dropping and
another lurching away indicating
he had been wounded.
