He was Tom Carson, a tough, bad-tempered, and somewhat mysterious character. About 1880, he was recorded as part of a small Ranger scouting party in the Fort Davis area looking for the perpetrators of a series of robberies. Near del Norte they came across a gang of thieves carrying their loot toward Mexico. In the firefight that ensued a shortcut Carson's hat brim, and another passed under his leg, cutting his stirrup and wounding his horse. Unfazed, he wounded one of the robbers and aided in the killing and capturing of the band. Carson reportedly shot him in the Ranch Saloon in April 1893. Details about the event and Carson's assailant are sketchy.

He also showed him one of the pistol balls that went through and killed the last man who was shot in Kerrville about two months ago. The man killed was Tom Carson, of Junction City, who was killed in the saloon owned by Barleman's brother Charles. Carson was killed by Bill Hollman just as he was going out of the screen door and the ball is embedded in this door. Another is embedded in the floor. This shot missed Carson, but he was killed by the first shot that struck him. He was shot twice, both times in the back. His slayer is to be tried at the next term of the court that meets there. He was released on a $110,000 bail bond on a habeas corpus trial, in which he proved that the dead man had threatened to kill him for improper conduct towards his sister. Court meets here twice a year, in May and in November. A large number of San Antonians are spending the summer in Boerne, Comfort and Kerrville. At the latter place....<br>Excerpt from the June 16, 1893, San Antonio Paper. <br>Wm. Holman was acquitted of the murder of Tom Carson at Kerrville.</p></div></div><div></div>
Excellent Plus condition. It is almost impossible to find twelve of these plates. I have not decided if I am going to sell them individually or<br>as a set. Of course, the set could be used for a formal setting at a nice dinner for some UT alums.<br><br>University of Texas UT Longhorn Wedgwood Plates Old Main Building. Wedgwood commemorative transferware plates made for The University of Texas. In the late 1920's Jones, McDuffee & Stratton and Wedgwood began to market extended series of higher-end plates to college and university alumni associations. This orange and white plate depicts the OLD MAIN BUILDING on the front center of the plate with the Seal of The University of Texas at the top of the plate and the Seal of The State of Texas at the bottom of the plate. Encircling the building is a rope design with bluebonnets in the middle. The rim of the plate has a repeated design of barbwire fencing, cactus, longhorns and a Lone Star with a bluebonnet in the center of the star. The intricate detail of the transfer is truly amazing! The back of the plate is printed with: THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS THE OLD MAIN BUILDING. with the music and words to the first stanza of "The Eyes Of Texas Are Upon You" printed below that. Also, the SOLE IMPORTERS stamp of Jones, McDuffee & Stratton. The impressed date code is in the form of a series of five digits which I believe dates the plate to 1930's. This is a remarkable find! A wonderful treasure for any UT fan, graduate, prospective student, Texan or lover of Texas! * Wedgwood University of Texas * OLD MAIN BUILDING * 10 1/2 inch plates * Extremely difficult to find! * MINT CONDITION, no signs of wear, cracking or crazing <br>
