RIDING WITH THE RANGSRS.
11Y COL. < 1EO. W. RYMONIIS.
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

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

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

n nearly every utato nnd territory
west of the Mississippi river. "Mys-

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 ;
