And You May Be Sure That We Will Have It.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1895-10-17

1t is pretty well understood in Texas
that had the legislature failed to pass
the law making prize fight in the
state a felony it was the intention of
Gov. Culbertson TO call out the Texas
rangers, locate them at Dallas, and
stop the fight at all hazards. With
thirty or forty thousand men on hand
to see the fight, including all the tur-
bulent characters of the state, such as
professional ''bad men," cowboys and
gamblers, many people thought that
the rangers would be unable to carry
out the governors intentions against
such terrific odds.
Those who talk IN this way cannot
know the Texas ranger. They certain
ly have never met him face to face
when a fight was imminent. The
Texas rangers have for years held a
record for bravery and efficiency
which cannot be equalled by a like
body of men the world over. The
.angers are all fighters. They are
superb horsemen, splendid shots, deX-
ttrous in the use of six-shooters and
and carblnes, and are always ready
and even anxious to try conclusions
with those to whom they are opposed.
Here Is the official report of what
the rangers accomplished during the
year 1893: Miles ridden, 1854; scouts
made, 451; arrests, 800. The arrests
were all for grave offenses, such as
n urder, horse and cattle stealing,
train and stage robbing, highway rob-
berries and other crimes of violence.
Most of those arrested were brought
to terms at the business end Of re-
yolver. In addition to the arrests, the
rangers by their activity, made it i'm
possible for cattle and horse thieves
to ply their traffic successfully.
There are at present about two hun
dred rangers in Texas. They are
separated into companies and are kept
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1895-10-17

on the border for the most part. They
live in the open air the year round.
Nearly every night in the year rain or
shine, they have only the sky for a
roof and the bare ground for a 1ped.
Their pillows are their saddles. They
live the hardest. toughest of lives and
danger is their delight They are all
young men-too young to count the
cost, when duty Is TO be done and odds
faced. They are made up of the
flower of Texas manhood. Wild
yelling, cursing cowboy is looked upon
with contempt by them. They de
pend upon their six-Shooters and car
bines, their GOODNESS and markham
ship, the known courage of their COM
rndes and the fact that they are
backed by the law of the state, and
opposition to their will Is a thing to
be put down at all hazards with an
iron hand.
The governor of Texas is the chief
officer of the rangers. What he says
Is law to them. The sheriff, the
police, the militia must not stand in
.felr way il the rangers have orders
from the governor. The rangers hold
Individually as much power as any
sheriff in Texas. They hold more.
They are not bounded by county lines
They may summon a posse at any
time to assist them in making arrests
That they seldom or never do sum
mon posses is alone due to their reli-
ance In their own efficiency. They are
proud Of the great name which they
and their predecessors have made in
Texas. They are selected with the
greatest care and the standard is a
high one. Every member of the force
must SO deport himself as to reflect
credit upon the service; to compel that
respect which Is due from the people
to every conseryator Of the peace.
ANY conduct rrejudicial to the service
Is not tolerated.
The section which the rangers po-
lice Is larger in area than all Of New
England and il Is Of such character
that, wera II not for their work, i
would De given over To NNleSSneS>
aud disorder The rangers are sent to
those sparsely settled sections Of the
country where opportunity for escape
from the regular peace officers is af-
forded, Whenever a sheriff Is unable
to cope with lawlessness he calls OH
the governor. and the.rangers are sent
to take charge Many times in the
past has the governor of Texas or
dered the rangers to 20 to counties
where the sheriff was in sympa thy
