The present ranger torvico of Texas is nn outgrowth of the perilous times which marked the dawn of independence - dependence for tlio Lone Star ropub lie , The nuigor commands of the struggling revolutionists wore com posed of thoBo heroic spirits who tnndo a choice between liberty or death , nnd Mexican thraldom , nnd valiantly ac cepted the former alternative , They achieved liberty , but many mot death death in horrible form bravely facing the fee as did Crocket and his courageous bind in the Alamo. Dur ing the late war the Texas rangers made for themselves an undying re cord for heroism nnd courage. No better troops w or faced nn enemy. When the civil insurrection was quell- ml , nnd the great natural resources of the southwest began to attract the attention of immigrants , and capital sought investment in the Inng Star sUtu , the legislative power of the state wisely encouraged both Eiatorn Texas , rich in timbered and funning lands , WPS soon thickly settled by the rngor horde of rostlonsfottuno-suekera , nnd the advance iunrd pushed west to the | re t plains. Lvttlo Bottloiuunts and isolated ranches sprang up along the river nnd crook bottoms , nnd in the fertile canons wherever untor could bo found , Thcso pioneers hid oiib great enemy to contend against an enemy pitilcsn , bloodthirsty , cun ning , bold Lo ! Not the poor Indian of poutry nnd romance , but thojjronsy , dirty savagi * of the plains the Indian of real lito. They overran the western bolder , well armed und superbly mounted , robbery by trade , who did not scruple at murder if human hfu stood between them nnd n good bunch of liorao. So bold did these red ruflinna become that in 1874 , dur ing the administration of Qov. Rich ard Coke , now United States senator from Texas , the legislature appropri ated § 300,000 "to protect the border counties by suitable police organiza tion under direction of the state , " and under the supervision of Win Steelc , adjutant general , the present ranger acnico was organized under the name ot "Tho Frontier JJxttalion of Rangers. " Maj. J. B. Jones com manded the battalion , which consisted - od of six companies of sovunty-fivo men each. These companies were 3lliccred as follows : Ono captain , two lieutenants , three scrgo.ints nnd four corporals. The original number has been decreased from time to time un til at present the total ranger force , including ollicors , is 120 mon , scatter ed along the frontier. Until 1870 the rmvatca received S-10 per month , cor- ralb § 10. sorgo.vnta § 50 , lieutenanta 570 , captains § 100. This was exclusive of subsistence for themselves and iorago for their horses ; the men fur nishing their own arms , ammunition , liorsca and clothing. In 1870 the pay of the privates was reduced to 30 [ ) or month , and that of corporals to 535. Eastern Texas , which contains the bulk of the population of the state , needs no ranger protection , nnd the members of the legislature from that section are many of them op ppsod to the service and advocate its disbandmont. In 1870 the legislature appropriated $300,000 for frontier protection ; in 1878 , § 180,000 ; in 1880 , 5140,000 , each of these appropriations to pay the expense of maintaining the service for two years. So much good work has the ranger battalion done on the frontier , in ridding the state of predatory bands of Indians , that Con gressman Upaon , from the Boxer dis trict , introduced a bill in congress during the proaont session to refund the state ot Texas out of the national treasury the aum of $1,000,000 , which oho had expended in Itting out ranger expeditions against the Indians. This bill passed both houses of congress , and received : ho signature of the president. It was "eared by the friends of the rungois : hat the opposition to the service in , ho eastern pirt of the state in the ircaent legislature would prevent n 'urthor appropriation , und the b.it- .aliuns would bu disbanded. Since the passogo of the above mentioned relief ) il ) , hiwuvor , thoirsinking hopes were revived , and it is believed that the icrvico will bo reorganized nnd a much argor appropriation made by the log- alaturo for its maintenance than over jefore. There are still miny Indians n the "Panhandle , " camped in the leop gorges and canons of the Unudn- ope Mountains , From these secure otrcats they issue forth at irregular ntorvals to prey on the white settlers n that section of country lying bo- .ween the Pecos and the Rio 3 ran do. The present adjutant general - oral of the state , W. H. King , an old confederate soldier , io nriun ing to mass the available ranger 'orco In the state and proceed against the Indiana in person. When the war opuria lively time * mav ba ox- Deott d , rivaling thn bloody epoch that narked the Ohiof Yictori > t's brilliant und reckless dash uloii' ' , ' the frontier. At present the six ranger cjinpanies ire stationed as follows : A company , Dap tain G , W. Baylor commanding , at El Paso ; B company , O p'ainS , A , MoMurray , at Colorado City ; 0 corn- > any , Captain Geonjo Arnngton , on lied River , in the "Panhandle ; " D company , Captain L , P , Soikor , Un- aldo. E company , Captain 0. L , Nov- II , near Fort Davis ; F company , Cap- , MIT. . L. Ogolsby , Oaka , on the tfouoro * . Three of these companies , A , C and E , are in the Indian coun try , end are constantly battling with Lo , The other three companies are jn special duty. B company is pro tecting the Texas Pacific railroad from train robbers , a rquad of mon riding on every train : D company is keeping the "navvies ' straight on the ( lalvoston , Houston & Ban Antonio railway extension , the track ot which is steadily Hearing the Pecos river , and the F company ia doing fugitive work. It is impossible in rn nrticlo of this description to give oven a synopsis of the innumerable deeds of daring per formed by the rangers since the or- utilization of the frontier bittalion. If the history of the service is over written it will fill a good-suod volume. They have proven a terror to the In diana , and have been the means of breaking up many predatory bands. In fights with the rod robbers they have always had to contend with overwhelming numbers. In 1875 the rangers had two battles with that bloodthirsty ruffian "Lono Wolf , " IIP id chief of the Comanchos , in Los V lloy , York county , near the little villagti of York boro. About thirtj rangers mot n force c f upwards of 201) ) Indians' and vanquished them In the first tight the rnngOM Imd two mot killed and twenty or thirty wounded , In this battle the Indians were securely intrenched in a deep canon , but were rouloc from their stronghold nnd put to tlight. In the second fight the rangoti killed five Indians , mooting n force ol about 100 with only twenty men. Ono of the Indians killed was Rod Wolf , who proved to bo a white man upon examination of the body. When Victoria , the great chief of the Mes- culoro Apaches , swooped down upon the frontier at the head of 250 war- rlorii , splendidly mounted nnd armed , n detachment of rangers from Com pany A , under command of dint. Baylor , started out in pursuit. They struck his trail and nfter pursuing him about three weeks they were joined by ton mon from Company U , under command of Ltoutoimnt now Capl. Novill. NovilPa command had also struck the trail of ft poit'.on of Victoria's band , and for about ton days prior to joining Cnpt. H.iylor n ere close upon the heels of the red men , who were headed ton ml the Rio Grande. The Indians had lift behind them a trail of murder ing settlers nnd burning ranches all along the rond. Before the rangers overtook Victoria his mam body had crossed the Rio Otando. In Mexico they were mot nutl dis persed by Mexican soldiers , under command of Gen , Tonnssas. Victoria was killed and about seventy of his warriors. The remainder of his band scattered. A few small parties re- crossed the Rio Grande , to bo mot by United States soldiers , nnd were killed it captured. The remnant of the bnnd managed to reach thu Devil mountains. They arrived thither by i circuitous route , crossing the Rio lirando into Mexico nndrocrosnmg in- : o Tixus between EiiHo Spring nnd ) uitman Canon. The El Piiso > t Fort Javis stogo rend p.usoc through Quit- nnu Canon , nnd at the mouth of the canon the Indians mot the stage. They killed the driver nnd one p.is- songor and drove oil the stngo hoises , A few hundred yards up the canon the mini halted , killed a mule nnd cooked sonio of the flesh. The rangers were crowding thorn clopo , bo ng only a few houra behind , did the Indians pushed on to lain the friendly shelter of the inoun ains. For fifteen days they dodged imong the onions of the Sierra Di.i- ulo , and every hour the circle of rAiigora diow nearer Ono morning ibout daylight the Indian camp was discovered , and the rangers , with loud rcllu , charged upon the rod men. Six moks were killed nnd one squaw and ; wo papooses capturod. Many of thu 'iidinna were wounded , and with tightened yells ilcd and hid them selves among the rocks. In 1870 a detachment from K nnd D companion , under command of Lieut. Dan W. Roberts , mot a party of Co- nunches , under Little Bull. The ran ters , after u hot battle , kil id several of ho bucks und captured the chief , llu was taken to Austin , whore ho at- rncted n great deal of attention. Jittlu Bull was tried for his many : rimes and sent to the penitentiary or twenty-one years Confinement and hard labor broke him down , how ever , and death granted him a reprieve nsido of two years. Many small > unches ot Indians have been rounded up by the rangers , nnd largo quantities of stolen stock recovered. When the Frontier Battalion was organized the border counties of Texas were the homo of countless bands of desperadoes and outlaws , who robbed rains nnd stages , stole cuttlennd iprses , and occasionally , by way of diversion , killed n few men. The angers attacked those banditti in ihcir strongholds and "rounded up" whole binde. Sam Bass , the "Iving of the Cowboys , " was making himself i record as a bold and reckless robber when the lancers began to ooorato , nit it was not until 1877 that ho and iis gang ciuiio to Texas , after robbing a train on the Union Pacific railway jf 500,000. Baeo began operations n the Lone Star etnto by robbing n rain on the Texas Central railroad near ; Ioquitto , where ho realized $20,000. L'hid robbing \vas followed by others of lesser importance along the line of ho overland atagu route , between Dallas nnd Fort Worth. Ho was bold , lashing and reckless , and the rangers md some dilliculty in rounding him up. Corporal Wm. Scott , of B com- mny , was detailed by the commanding oflicor , Oapt. Poako , for special duty , ind instructed to join BASS' gang. lie lid so , and participated with them in a train robbery. Previous to the robbery the corporal sent word to the company to bo on hand at the point of attack on the train , but the rangers arrived on the spot too late , The nighi after the robbery the guiiK topped at the house ot "Old Han Collins , " in Dallas County ) ollins had thrno sons with Jass , und hi ) house wa a requout rendezvous for the outlaw Jorporal Scott was with the pun ) . About midnight IVako's rangers reached the house and attacked the looping robborH , Scott occupied a room with Pipes nnd Ilerndon , two of ho gang. When the rangcis broke ipon the door of the house , ho "pulled down" on his roomnutes w > th hid Winchester , and made thorn both pris oners. Both were tried in the United States court , nnd upon conviction of robbing the mails , weio sent to thu > onitontiary at Albany , N. Y. , for the orm of twenty years each. llorndon s still in confinement. Pipes was shot and killed about a your ago while rylng to escape , After the loss of lioso two men , Bass and his gang 'took to the bush , " and it was not until late in Ma , 1878 , that ho rangers overhauled him n Denton county , on Silt Crook. I'ho band were at dinner in a bushy hicket when the rangers charged .horn ana they ( led purcipilately , caving their horswi and eaddloj. Two of thu outlaws were slightly wounded. "Arkanuis .Johnson , " Bam Bats'lieu- onant , showed fight , and Private N. L. Jinkins ( the original Buffalo Bill ) shot him through the heart , A fuw days alter this fight the rangers ar rested one of Bass' gang , named Jim Murphy , Ho was suut to Austin , und , being pressed by the commander of the battalion , Major Jones , to bo- ray Bass , ho was accordingly set at liberty , and after regaining ho band gave information which resulted in the "round up" of the gang at Riund Reckon July 10 1878. The story of Bw' death is n familiar one. In the records of E company I find the following montioi of thn Round Rock MFair : "July 18th Lieutenant Reynolds nnd nine men loft cmp to go to Round Rock to meet Mnj Junes nnd assist in ef fecting the capture of S m Boss and party who were expected there to rob n bank. On the llHh previous to Lieut. Reynolds' arrival , Baso. Carnes nnd Jackson came into Rountl Rock , nnd their arrest was attempted bv Deputy Slierilfs Grtinos and Mooni. Bass nnd party killed Gaines nnd wounded Moore nnd tied , pur sued by Major Jones nnd Pri vates Connor , VVnro nnd llnrrold , of Compiny K , Frontier BUtnlion Ware killed Barnes nnd llnrrold wounded Mass , but Bass made his es cape with Frank Jnjkson. On the 20th , Sergt. Newell nnd eight mon of Lieut , Reynolds' squad wont in pur suit , captured Bus nnd returned to Round Hock , guarded him until the 21st , when ho died from the ullocts of the wound ho received on the 1'Ui ' , " Thus ended the ciroorof the cowboy's idol , whom they have iinmortitiiEcd in u rude ditty , the refrain of which is : Ho tir t cnmo out to Texan , A cowliny for to lie , A kinder hearted follow \ m Bcnrcoly oxer see. Of thu llvu r.uigora principally in- atrumontal in breaking up BaaV gnutt , ono only is still in the service , N. L Jinkins ( "HulKilu Bill" ) , who in at Inched to company B. Scott is work ing on u railroad , Connor is herding sheep , Ware is Shurih" Mitchell : ounty , and llnrrold commands n bat talion of Mexican troop * in the slalo of Ohihunhui. From time to timu iftcr Buss' ' death members of his bind were captured in different sections of ho country , until now only ono man , Jim Underwood , is atill ut large. Ono > f the loss notorious gangs broken ip by the rangers was the 'Scott-Conloy" gang , in Gilks- > io county. Scott Cooley , the oader , was once n ranger. Jo killed n man while in the scrvtco and deserted. After remaining in concealment some time , he got to gether n band of mon ns despurato as limsulf nnd sot up in business ( ia n cattle stenlur.

"Mys- oriolis DAVO" eecapud from the jail at H > rt Concho nnd n ttill at Inrgo. The rangers captured thu noted des- ) orado nnd murderer , John Wesley larding. Thov broke up the "Peg licg" ganu of stage robbers in Man- arc ! county , nnd killed nnd captured , ho "Josio Evans" gang , of "Lincoln county war" notoriety. Jesse Evans wus a partner of the notorious "Billy . Kid" for several nnd .ho years , par ticipated in all the battles of the cow- ncn in Lincoln county. Of the other bands "rounded up" by the rangers may bo mantionod the "Dick Tutts" gang , in Travis county ; the "Bill llodding" gang , in Llano county ; the 'Taylor" gang , in LimposoH county ; , ho "King Fisher" gang , in Mouriok county ; the "Bono Wilson" gang , in 3rath county , and hundreds of indi vidual operators The rangers rarely 'ail in capturing the men they go after.
