when Terry and Ed Gibson met Terry
OF ened fire with shotgun, remarking
that he had come to settle the matter.
Gibson was shot in the jaw and arm, the
jawbone being broken. Excitement here
runs high, as large crowd ia expected
down from Richmond. Sheriff Jones has
Terry under arrest and has placed strong
guard around the Jail to protect Terry
from the wrath of Gibson's friends from
Fort Bend county, who are expected here
to avenge the murder. Gibson died at
$40 p. M, being badly shot through the
shoulder. arm and mouth. While every
effort will be used to prevent further
bloodshed, trouble is expected. Terry,
some years ago, killed Williams, police
man in Houston, by deliberately walking
up to him and shooting him down. He
got clear on change of venue and moved
to Richmond, where he was elected assessor
of the county while under a two years
sentence to the penitentiary. He is a
son of the famous Colonei Terry, of the
Terry rangers.
