(By United Press Leased Wire.) i EL PASO, Tex., Aug. 3.—More than 50 shots were exe changed across the border here last night and early this morn« ing between United States soldiers and Mexican rebels. The homes of four Americans in East El Paso were riddled with bullets, but the American troops escaped uninjured. It is not | known whether any of the rebels were hurt. The exchange of shots started late last night, when the rebels fired on American soldiers stationed near the El Paso foundry. The Americans at once answered without making an investigation, firing in the direction from which the shots came. Investigation today showed that the homes of C. -H. Cole, Curtiss Williams, A. D. Martinez and J. Yonkers were hit by bullets. Col. Steever, in command of the United States troops here, is investigating the incident. He believes the rebels started the shooting to divert attention from a smug- jgling expedition. FLEEING ACROSS THE BORDER GLOBE, Ariz.
