Mystery Surrounds Shooting

Mystery SuOOtiu&
George Mckee, a tenant on a farm in
Trip county, lies at his home in All
unconscious condition as the result of
the lodging of a bullet in the back of
his head at the base of the brain.
Whether or not he fired the bullet into
his head with suicidal intent or was the
victim of an accident doubtless never
will be known. as it is impossible to
revive HIM from his condition of coma
and he may remain in this condition
until his death, which may occur at
any time. The members of the family
were away from home at the time he
received the injury. He had only
recently arrived from Canada and had
just got settled on the place.

city has consented TO become an ap-
plicant for presidential appointment
after March 4th, 1918, to the office
of collector of customs Of the dis
trict of Brazos de Santiago, with
headquarters at Brownsville.
The Woodrow Wilson organization
OF Brownsville has been active in
promoting Mr.. Rabb's candidacy for
the appointment, and letters of en-
dorsement from prominent men all
over Texas and in other states have
been received by the members, which
show that Mr. Rabb will have the
strongest kind of backing.
Brownsville needs no introduction
to Mr.. Rabb. Though he is a native
Of Nueces county, he has resided in
Cameron county continuously since
1891. AS one of the most prominent
citizens Of Brownsville, he is known
to almost everyone living here. He
is one of the large land owners in
this section, and none stand higher
in the estimation of his fellow citi-
zens than he.
