In 1891-92 Mabry led two companies of rangers against Catarino E. Garza, a Mexican rebel who was directing a revolution from the Texas side of the Rio Grande. As head of the ranger force, Mabry prevented the Maher-Fitzsimmons prize fight of February 1896 from being held in Texas (see BEAN, ROY). In January 1897 he prevented mob violence in the case of George Harrison, who was being tried for murder at Woodville. With the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Mabry resigned his office to become a colonel in the First Texas Infantry. He died in Havana, Cuba, in January 1899. In recognition of his services, the United States Congress granted a life pension to his widow, the former Lucy Allen of Jefferson."
