Brown county.
This county was named in bennr
of Robert M. Coleman who was bom
in Kentucky in 177". and came to
Texas in IH.'t2. He acquired exper-
ience in fighting Indians in Ken-
tucky and was appointed captain

at the above-named place Cart-
wright supposedly was enroute horn-
from town was walking while
Smith was riding horseback. It if
also rumored thHt they had an ar-
gument immediately before the
shooting however so far as we are
able to learn there were no eye-
witnesses to the affray. Cartwright
emptied a 32 caliber Colt's automa-
tic pistol at Smith one bullet taking
effect near the heart one through
his left wrist and one in his loft
lower limb just above the knee.
The horse received three bullet
wounds. Upon being shot the horne
turned toward town at a fast run
going down the main street and
turned north at the corner of the
hotel building and it was at this
point that Smith fell from the sad
die. He was picked up and place. I
