10000 people visited Camp Magruder to-
day Tho weather although warm was
not oppressive nnd In tho shade tho fresh
brcezo from the gulf tempered tho heat
bo us to make 11 bearable
Only Jour companies drilled two In the
stato and two in tho Interstate The
drilling was much better than that ol yes
terday although nono of the companies
which have so lar drilled have como up to
tho standard established by tho crack
companies of tho National Guard at the
various encampments during tho past
three years Great things however aro
expected from tho champion Houstons
and tho crack llranch Guards and Han
Antonio Hides which aro yet to drill
The drilling today began ftt 2
oclock Tho Douglas Wiles of Tyler
Cttpt V J Glrard was tho llrst
conlpany to drill It wast oclock when
thoy marched on tho drill ground and It
was Intensely hot The company drilled
In their heavy dress uniforms of bottle
green with gold trimming and white
crossbelts llelng only a year old this
company entered for tho state prize
only Their mumml was only fair and
In tho swivel slack they wore weak In
tho marching tho company did not do
much better Tho wheels were ragged
tho obliquing unsteady and the evolu-
tions by fours ordinary As n rule tho
alignments wero poor and taken as a
whole whllo the drill was good for u new
company It does not stand n ohanco of
gaining a prUo Tho sun was so hot

very hot but this company commanded
by Capt 8 11 McQueen marched bravely
ou tho grounds Ihrlr step was good
their appearance soldierly and tho cap-
tain turned his command over to the
Judges In good style They looked well
with tbelr white pan IP blue fatlguo coats
aud white helmets Cupt McQueen
handled them admirably nnd was ably
assisted by his two lieutenants who In
platoon movements moved and artid with
promptnem and map Tho mnnuil up to
tho swivel slack was good but In this
dliiluult movement thoy woru a trillo
out of tlmo The loading
and llrlng were tlrstclass
Tho doubletlmo platoon movements
were far above tho average and the
manual whllo wheeling was excellent
In breaking fours from right to rear and
forming lino aualn to the front this com-
pany did rcmaiknbly well Their wheel
lugs from a hult were grind anil left

Among tho movements executed almost
perfectly may bo mentioned stack arms

rank double rank formations and double
tlmo platoon movements They llulahcd

marched off tho ground umldst tho ap

but taken as a whole tho evolutions by
platoons wero considerably nbovo tho
average It Is evident from the manner
In which tho captain haudled his men and
gave Ids ordors that ho fully understood
the programme and It Is safe to say that
ho game nearer drilling tho samo than
any ot tho other commanders who pre-
ceded him Ho did not make a company

gavo a detailed account of the crime be
committed which docs not differ ma-
terially from tho ncrount given below
saying whisky was tho commencement of
his trouble with bis victim and whisky
was tho cau o of Hi tragic ending Ho
displayed remarkable composure all the
way through had nothing to s y on
tho gallows was submissive as a child
and appeared perfectly resigned to his
fate Uo was nttended by Iter L
Smytho of the Catholic church and his
body was buried in tho Catholic cemetery
by tho side of Lincoln Sprole The drop

He died without a struggle the whole af-

stances Davis lived In the coun
try and on tho day he was

after tho case was given Into their hands
Llko Sprolh ho made no preparations to

that about threo years previous Koss had
