s. Patterson, of Austin, state COM
missioner of insurance and banking,
was shot and fatally wounded yester-
day in the lobby Of the Farmers and

should be examined. After the shoot
ing the officers arrested T. r. Watson,
the president of the bank, but it seems
to be evident that they have no direct

although no other motive for the
shooting can be imagined except
anger on the part of someone interest
