He FELL FIGHTING.
BILL WHITLEY SHOT AND KILLED
BY MARSHAL RANKIN AND
DEPUTIES.

His Body Brought to the City and
Identified as that of a Par
tlcipant in Many Train
Robberies.
Ever since the train robbery al
HARDWOOD, Marshal Rankin and his
deputies have been on a quiet hunt
for the robbers. Near Floresville re-
sides a man named William Harrell,
who is already under bond to appear
before the United States court upon
the charge of harboring train rob-
bers, and information led Rankin to
believe that some of the robbers
would seek refuge there. According
ly Marshal Rankin, accompanied by
Deputies Duval West, Will Van
Ripper and Yglesias, went to
Floresville, and at once passed
to Harrell's house, which is on the
outskirts of Floresville, about mile
from the court house. On arrival
there, after carefully reconnoitering,
the officers found that only a colored
boy was in charge of the house. This
boy they secured and then retired to
a shed in the rear of the house, which
consisted of one room and a shed.
After waiting some time, about $50 p.
M, some one was heard approaching
the house and the room was carefully
watched from the shed door. Soon
Harrell, the owner of the house, and
another man entered the front room.
A lamp was lit, and the other
man (Whitelyl took a seat upon
a chair situated nearly between
the two beds that was in the room.
Just then Marshal Rankin appeared
at the door of the room, with a
double barrelled shot gun raised and
cried Glands up" Harrell "caved
in" right away, and though he re-
treated to the corner of the room he |
made no resistance. Whitley, how
ever seemed to realize the desperate |
straits he was in, instead of comply |
ing with the demand, drew his pistol
and had it half raised when Rankin
fired upon him. The shot struck him
in the face and then Whitley re.
treated, stopped down and showed
that he was trying to get under bed
rs cover, and to light it out
And all the time he was firing at
Rankin but failed to hit him. Just
hen Rankin let him have the other
barrel, hitting him on the head, and
he other officers fired Upon him. In
/ few seconds Whitley rolled over
lead. Then all was over.
The following diagram shows the
position of the parties and the rooms
where the shooting occurred.

| quent visitor to the city.
The fireman of the HARDWOOD train
stopped by train robbers on Saturday
identified the remains as those of the
man who held him up. The train
robbers Reeves and Bennett, now in
the county Jail charged with train
robbery, also recognized the body as
that of Bill Whitley, a leader of the
of the Flatonia and McNeal rob-
berries, for which he was wanted. He
was also wanted for the Cisco bank
robbery.
The identification is complete and
therefore the officers are not only justi-
fed in the killing, but entitled to the
rewards offered by the government,
the State and the Express company
for arresting or killing a train robber
The doctor, who examined the body,
says that in addition to sundry buck
shot wounds, one 4S-calibre ball en-
tered the mouth, passed through the
head and came out at the ear; and an
other large ball hit him above the left
ear anu pdSScu lHIO tIt DIdlu. DcN-
eral buckshot also entered the brain.
The last shot would cause instantan-
eOus death. His left thigh was also
broken.
Justice Barnes is now holding an
inquest upon the remains of the dead
robber.
According to Reeves and Benefits
account of their old pal Whitley was
only % years of age and was original
ly a cowboy. Some years ago he
drove the stage from Cuero to Goliad.
He is married, has a wife living in
county or Lampasas and
two or three young children.
The body is still on exhibition at the
federal court house and is being visit
cd by large number of citizens who
have morbid curiosity to see a real
dead train rObber.
