A. A. Johnson

Assistant City Marshal A.A. Johnson succumbed to a gunshot wound sustained two days earlier when he responded to a shooting at a restaurant.

A cook at the restaurant had just quit and then shot and killed the owner during an argument. Assistant Marshal Johnson was shot through the door when he arrived at the restaurant. The suspect was shot and killed and two Texas Rangers were seriously wounded on June 22 when the rangers found the suspect near Cotulla.

The city council approved $48 for Assistant Marshal Johnson's funeral and $100 for his widow.
