out fsctional strife prior 70 the
forthcoming election in 1905.
IL was following this killing on
Tuesday, Nov. 6, 1906, that Governor
Lanhsm ordered the rangers to en-
ter the town and investigate the
WEIGH murder. He issued this or
der by telephone t. Captain Bill Nc
Donald at Alice, Texas. BE con-
sentative, captain; be conservative,
but investigate" he said. McDon-
aid, chief Of the rangers, sccompan-
led by Rangers McCauley, Mckenzie,
Blaze Delling, and an old frontiers
man named Imam, left for Rio
Grande City.
While the rangers were on their
way TO Rio Grande City, just inside
the Starr county line, night fell,
clear and starlit but without a moon.
At about $3.50. when only a few
miles from town, McCauley heard an
approaching hack and pulled to one
side Of the road TO let Il pass. In
stead of passing, the hack stopped
and the rangers saw figures run
from il 20 the mesquite brush. Hold
on, therei" called Mcdonald. "We
are Texas rangers" As he smoke,
shooting began. IL was later known
that the men we're Mexicans who
were returning to their homes from
attending an election during the day
in Rio Grande City. They had been
drinking and when they met the
rangers, they did not really believe
that they were rangers; 80 they
started shooting. In this fight five
Mexicans were killed, several
wounded, and also Imam and Nc
Cauley wounded. The rangers con-
tinued on their way to Rio Grande,
took possession of the town, and
disarmed a number OF men. In the
course of the cleanup. one mar was
killed when he drew his gun instead
o. obeying the command to throw up
his hands.
Captain Mcdonald reported to the
governor the results of his trip in
as few words as possible; this re-
port IS now on file at the capital.
Another incident Of interest was
the death of Manuel Rivera. The
occasion of his death was this: Fred
