Border Blood Killing Near Eagle Pass Spurs Ranger Chase
Lieutenant Frank Sieker was killed and three rangers wounded when they confronted two Mexicans near the Rio Grande about 50 miles south of Eagle Pass. Captain Sieker, en route to San Antonio, left his brother in charge to pursue smugglers and cattle thieves. The attackers fled after opening fire as rangers tried to seize their weapons. The wounded include Reilly Ayton and Griffin. Reilly is a San Antonio figure and cousin to Major G. M. Gordon, raising fears for his fate as a posse is sent for aid. Captain Sieker heads to Eagle Pass to join the pursuit.
