BEN THOMPSON DIES ~ HIS
BOOTS.

BOOTS.
A dispatch was received in Bren-
ham Wednesday morning announc-
ing that the notorious Ben Thomp-
son had been shot and killed in
San Antonio. The news spread
like wild-6re and soon every man
in town knew it. As a general
thing there was an expression OF
satisfaction, and so far as our re-
porters learned no one regretted
the occurrence. 1t has been for n
long time predicted that Ben would
one day meet his match.
From specials in the Galveston
News and Houston Post we gather
the following particulars: Tues
day King Fisher was in Austin and
in the afternoon he and Ben Thomp-
son went to San Antonio. They
went to the theatre and after the
performance the two entered the
Vaudeville variety theatre about
IL o'clock. Both had been drink
ing freely and both had six
shooters. Billy Simms and Joe
Foster, proprietors of the theatre,
were seated in the gallery when
Thompson was heard to call Foster
add liar, at the same time pulling
his pistol. The parties all drew
pistols and the entertainment open
ed about a dozen shots were fired
almost simultaneously. When the
battle was over it was found that
Ben Thompson and King Fisher
were dead on the floor side by side,
Joe Foster was shot in his left leg
below the knee, SCATTERING the
bone, and amputation was necessa.
ry. No one seems to know who
fired the first shot. Both Thomp-
son and Fisher were shot in the
left eye, and the shots were SO
close that their faces were powder
burned. The men met their fate
side by side, in q corner formed by
the partition wall separating the
saloon from the auditorium. When
the firing commenced there was
general stampede from the build
ing. 1t is stated in one account
that Joe Foster was trying to sepa-
rate the parties when he was shot.
Ben Thompson, his history, and
exploits with his six-shooter are
too well known to need any reca-
pitulation. King Fisher is not so
well known, but a few years ago
he was regarded as one of the
worst desperadoes on the Rio
Grande border; there was many
indictments against him for steak
ing cattle and killing Mexieans.
At one time he was captured by
the state troops; he had friends
and gave bond in large sum ;
after some delay the cases came on
for trial and Fisher was finally ac-
quilted. Since he got out of :shis
troubles" nothing had been heard
of him and the presumption is he
had been behaving himself and
following the occupation ofa stock
man. The state loses nothing by
the untimely death of these two
men. The only wonder is that Ben
Thompson was not killed long ago.
About two years ago Thompson
shot and killed Jack Harris IN the
very same theatre where he him
self met his death. 1t may be a
just retribution.

wealth lay in cotton. 1t is only
during the past eight or ton years
that our planters have regarded
cotton seed as not nuisance. For
nearly hundred years they had
been raising it without finding its
value. And we have discovered
scarcely half its true properties.
