San Autotdo, March ll. Hen
Thompson, the celebrate.! des-
perado and untamed Texa ter
ror, was shot and instantly kill
ed iu the \ amleville theatre at
ll:la to-ni|fht by King Fisher,
deputy -herill'of I'valde coun-
ty, and a desperado of the first
water himself. Fisher was also
killed in the melee, but by whom
is not ascertained. Theci.cum
stances of the case, as well as
can be gleaned are as follow.-:
Fisher.in company v> itli 'i'hoinp-
soti, entered the \ audcvilic a
sliolt while before the occur
fence of the diliiculty. While
there Thompson became involv -
ed in an altercation with .loe
Foster, who attempted to pm-il'v
him, but without success. High
words followed, and Fisher too!:
up Foster's row. Thompson, as
u.-ual. jerked his six-sh toter.
vv hicli was immediately gra-ped
by a policeman. Fisliet also
drew, riie aibsequent proceed
ings are far from clear and wear
a very ugly look. Fisher and
Thompson," surrounded bv a
crowd of excited and allViglited
men. were struggling vehement
ly on the floor. Five ov >ix
sharp reports ft llowed, ami
when the smoke cleared jivvav
the pride of Austin was dead.
Fisher, ab'-o dcafl. was lying
across him and "Faro Foster"
was shot through the left leg
just below the knee, shattering
the bone and rendering amputa-
tion necessary. Thompson was
shot twice through the brain,
one ball entering through tin-
left eye-brow and the other < ?n
a quarter of an inch above it.
Roth ' . 'es alight be Covered
with n 1 i b Fisher was al-
ways a .-;ii id shot
was also shot through tie .rain,
the ball entering the left eye.
Thompson killed .lack Harris,
the proprietor of the Vaudeville
theatre, in the same building
vbottt two years ago and met
his death there to night. Fisher
was young, but the most ce|e
bra fed dcujiemdo on tile Rb>
Ot ande from Mexico to the Onlf,
ami has credited to his score a
larger number of tnurdeis titan
any man of his age that has
ev*r struck Texas. Thompson's
brother, a chip oft' the same
block, is in tow n, but no further
trouble is feared for the night.
The two most celebrated des-
peradoes in Texas are dead and
