A* announced In yesterday's Light * tpecial dispatches from KI Paso, Air. Frank Brown, traveling auditor of the City Brewery association. I* dead. He waa killed In a quarrel In his office in El Paso, by Ben Massey, one of the proprietor* of the Angelus hotel liar, over a small account of 82.50. The Angelua hotel is under the man- agement of Mr. Amoa Barnes, of San Antonio. Ben Maaaey runs the liar in connection with the hotel. Mr. Brawn has rc*ld<x| In San Anto nio for the luut 15 or 20 years and waa employed by the City Brewery company for the past 12 years. He was their traveling auditor all over Texas and other western states as far as California. He left San Antonio last June for an extended western trip and was returning Stopping at El Paso he wound up the regular trip business and resumed his way but was recalled to the El Paso office to adjust sonv' complications and there mrt nm death. The account of the sad affair 1s l>ct told by one of the fonr witnesses to the tragedy, Jos. Nennhuber. The cause of the sheet Ing was a quarrel over an alleged bill of 82:60 which the bar, it is claimed. owed to W. A. Griffin, local ageut of the company. Nennhuber says: “I was standing in the rear of the room when Massey entered. Brown was seated I* his chair at his desk. Massey on entering at once b»gnn talk Ing about the bill of 82 50 which he ■ aid that he bad paid the local ageut. W. A. Griffin. "Mr. Brown told him that he knew nothing of the bill and that he was told it had not lie-n collected. Mas sey then b»gan cursing and Brown or dered him out. He said as he did so: “'Get ont of here; I won’t allow any man to curse in my effice. 1 wouldn’t come to your office and curse yon. and I won’t allow you to curse me.’ “At that Brown got up from his chair and Massey moved to the door. As ho did so Massey said with an oath: “ ’You have been running over peo ple around here and I intend that you shall not run over me. .’ “At that Brown slapped Massey in (he face and they clinched. Massey drew a gun and got iiis arm around Brown’s neck, firing four shots In quick succession. Brown tried to get tho gun away from Massey, but he and Powell Roberts and I rushed np •nd I wrenched the gun from his hands. He tried to shoot again, but I had his gun.” Of the four bullets fired, throe took effect in Brown’s body. One of them entered the neck jnst below and to the rear of the left ear and lodged in the interior of his skull. The other two entered the right shoulder, just back of tho collar bone, and ranged downward. One of these can be wsc lodged just below the skin on the right breast and to the .right of the right nipple. The other lodged In the in terior of tho body. Tho fourth bullet, which did not strike Brown, was af terwards found in the bottom of the cuter floor. Tho bullet thqt entered Brown’s neck was possibly the one that proved fatal as It was tho only one that ranged towards a vital spot. After tho shooting Ben Mass r y was I arrested and lodged in jail and the body of his victim was cared for by the local undertaker. It will be brought to San Antonio for burial.
