THE ENCINAL MURDER.
Further Particulars OF the Killing
OF Station Agent Hodges.

Mr.. Harry Hamilton came in last night
from Encinal, with the body Of G.. NJ.
Hodges, the merchant who was foully
murdered at the depot in that town last
Saturday afternoon, by Mexican named
Jose Marin Mendoza. Hodges body
was taken to Wills Point by his brothers
and relatives. Mr.. Hamilton says that
Hodges, who Is station agent at Encinal
and who IL also n merchant, was In the
ticket office, when Mendoza stepped in
and fired two shots from a Winchester
into him, killing him instantly. Mendlola
then turned and saw a man named Nor
rison standing by and fired one shot at
MIN, wounding him In the leg. lie then
went across the street to DR.. Spohn's
store and told the men there that man
had been killed over at the depot, and
Tor them to go over and see about IL.
lhey all started and left him there.
while they were away he loaded his
winchester and magazine and waited
LOT them, and when they returned he
Tried to stand them Off Two shots were
hred and he surrendered The town is
IN a great state Of excitement and a
lynching will probably be the next
thing heard OF. The cause OF the killing
Is mystery. Some think 1t was because |
the Mexican thought Hodges had n |
hand IN the recent hanging of Mexioans |
In Dimmitt county, but this Is not gen
orally credited, and other causes are
given.
MIR. Hodges was man about 30 years
OF age ana well known and highly re-
speoted. lie leaves young wife and
one child TO mourn his loss. Mendoza
was born and raised in Laredo and his
father Is now living near Encnal sta
tion, engaged in stock raising.
Later-The messenger for the Pacific
express company who passed Enolnal
last night, states that Mendoza was
taken to Cotulla by sheriff Mckinney.
ne Mexican had previously pawned II
pistol with Hodges for SO and soon
came back and asked Hodges TO let him
nave ~ more and he could keep the ps-
iol. Soon after the Mexican again came
y during Hodges absence, and when
lodges stepped in he fired, killing him
Instantly.
