SHOT ON BORDER.
RUMANIAN GUARD.
Clashes Result In Renewed
Tension.
CONFLICTING VERSIONS. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 2 p.m.) LONDON, August 17. Hungarian and Rumanian border tension is growing, says a Bucharest message. A Rumanian frontier guard was shot dead and another wounded, while a third is missing near the village of Salonta.
A Rumanian commuiii(|uc claims that they were suddenly attacked while patrolling the frontier. One was shot in the hack. The sergeant in charge was attacked with bayonets and seriously wounded.
The Hungarian version is that five Rumanians entered Hungarian territory and attacked the Hungarians, who fired in self-defence. Two were wounded and the other taken prisoner.
