An extraordinary amount of pressure
was brought to bear on the secretary of
the navy to prevent the marine band of
Washington, d. C., from playing for
the horse show in Chicago last week.
The protests were from local musicians,
as well as from influential business
men. who believed Chicago musicians
should not be obliged to compete with
government organization. The pro-
tests were without avail, and the horse
show management bluntly stated q
Chicago band could not get the engage

was that he only helped to dispose of
the dismembered body.
Thorn's cross examination was long
and most severe. After it had lasted
an hour the prisoners face was very
pale, but his answers came with as
much readiness as at the start. His
voice was a shade more feeble but the

JOHN II. RANKIN KILLED.
Shot BY Policeman at Austin. Very
foxu ncfoiIc

Capt. John T. Rankin, well known in
western Texas and at one time United
States m arshal for this district, was
shot and killed at Austin by Policeman
Grizzard. The following account of
the shooting is taken from the San An
tonic Express:
Capt. Rankin and Policeman Griz-
zard met at the place noted above, but
whether by accident or not is not
known. A few words passed between
them, when Mr.. Grizzard pulled his
gun and fred, striking Capt. Rankin
in the body. The captain. who was
some ten or fifteen feet from the side
walk, turned and started to run up the
street. AS he turned he looked back
and was truck near the left eye by
second bullet from Grizzard:s
pistol. He continued running
and attempted to get on the sidewalk,
about thirty feet from the street cor
ner. The curbing at this point is three
or four feet high and before he could
get up on the sidewalk he received an
other bullet which caused bim to fall
on his face in the gutter. Officer Griz-
zard fred fourth time, but this last
shot was probably unnecessary, as it
is believed Capt. Rankin expired the
moment he fell.
When the last shot was fired Officer
Grizzard was standing near the pros
trate body of the captain, but before
he could fire fifth time he was seized
by Policeman John Kennerly, who
hurried him off up the avenue to the
police station.
The enmity between Capt. Rankin
and Officer Grizzard, and which result
ed today in the death of the latter, is
said to have had it's origin about year
ago, when,Capt. Rankin took an active
Interest in circulat 'ng and getting sig
