When the Rangers Fought Indians

In 1874 the legislature Of the state
of Texas appropriated 100000 for
frontier protection, and authorized Gov.
Richard Coke to raise battallon Oh
Texas rangers, consisting OF 4oO men,
divided into six companies of 10 men
each. John b. Jones, Of Corsicana'
Texas, an intrepid southern soldier, was
commissioned major commanding the
battalion. and took the field early IN
the spring of 1874, and was stationed
from UvaIde county, on the south 10
Jack county on the north, about 100
miles apart
In recruiting the command, of course,
most of the men were Texans, but not
altogether There were also quite lot
of professional and some literary men
mustered into service. One of them,
II NJ Bundy, writing under the nom
de plume of 'CapeFs." wrote for the
Galveston News in 1874 q piece Of poetry
based on the three early indian fights
OF the battalion
Rangers Fight Indians,
I shall undertake TO describe those
indian fights that took place nearly 35
years ago. and which opened Mr.. Bun
dy's poetry. Many of the participants
in those fights are now living in New
Mexico. Arizona and Texas.
It was Mai. Jones's duty TO march
along the lire, contract for supplies
fer the men and forage for the horses,
also 70 confer with the captains Of the
companies and citizens along the from
tier as 10 the best methods TO pursue
against the different tribes Of indians
then infesting the frontier of Texas
We had he Lipans and kickapoos in
the southwest. the Apaches on the west
and the Comanches and Kiowas IN he
north and northwestern portion of Tex
as These tribes of indians covered at
l.
Will be seen what a huSe undertaking
this battalion of $50 WAS called, on TO
perform. The first year or TWO of the
battalion. Mai. Jones detailed five men,
from each company, q total of 80 men,
as an escort.
Capt. John Ikerd commanded the ex-
IRENE northernmost company.
The year OF 1874 being an especially
favorable one for the Indians, as soon
as their war ponies were fat they began
raiding and stealing all along the from
tier.
The First Clash.
Lieut. Millican, of Ikerd's company,
with Is men, was the first 20 strike an
indian trail. It was in Jack or Young
county, and, being anxious to send in
tie first scalps TO Austin, they pressed
tie indians so closely that it seemed
for a while as f their efforts would
be crowned with success. Night was
fast approaching and when the rangers
were almost within gunshot of the in
dams. a thunder shower and storm
came on Tke indians ran into some
shin oaw brush, slid from their horses
and made good their escape. Mr. Bundy
has given us two verses on this scout.
After the Indians.
Mai. Jones had made one trip up the
line. and on his return march camped
Cor the night IN the lower edge of Lost
VALLEY. Jack county, Texas. Early on
the following morning a small band of
indians raided Loving's ranch and stole
a bunch Of horses The ranchmen be-

President Taft's message, at
the opening OF the last session Of
the 61st Congress, was largely
devoted to a review of the bust

most important recommends

The catalogue house avoids the

It pays nothing towards building

fit had to pay its full share Of
the taxes in any territory in
which it may seek business, if it
had to contribute to the various
institutions and enterprises to

1t certainly does not do any
thing towards the building up OF

in taking away business from
merchants and dealers, who by

The Right to Injure

According to a recent decision
OF the Mississippi supreme court,
any person may lawfully refuse,
from caprice or malice, to have
business dealing with any other
person, "but hecannotfrom such
motives influence others to the
same course for the purpose Of
iniuring the business OF such
other. The act and the accom-
panying motive together consti-
tute the unlawful act"
A lumber company had forbid
den it's employees. on pain Of dis
charge, to patronize a certain re-
tail merchant who had offended
the company. Some Of the EN-
ployes had disregarded the order
and were discharged. The store
keeper brought suit for damages
for having lost their trade and
the supreme court sustained the
the cause of action.
Its decision is similar to one re-
Gently given by the Minnesota
supreme court, which held that a
wealthy man who, because he
had been shaved too close by the
village barber or for some other
reason had taken dislike to
him, established a rival shop and
employed a man to run it in or
der to ruin the barber, "was
guilty Of wanton wrong and
an actional tort" And the
court rubbed it in by adding:
"To call such conduct competi-
ton is a perversion of terms. 1t
is simply the application OF force
without legal justification, which
in its moral quality may be no
better than highway robbery.
These two supreme court de-
cisions are indications that the
old ideas Of competition and of
laissez faire, which we were
taught to regard as sacred and
inyiolable, are getting serious
iolts in some quarters.-Ex.

THE CENSUS

The census returns begin to
show the mighty onward advance
Of our Great Republic. Some
states and many cities have
doubled in population in the last
ten years until now the flag
waves over 100,OOO,O00 souls.
Europe still leans upon her for a
great portion Of her food; her
mines continue to be a concern
nent to the commercial and f.
nancial world; besides the nat
ural increase of her population,
she receives and assimilates a
million of people from the out
side world annually; she pays
more for the education of her
children than any other three
nations; her manufacturers are
competing more and more every
year with the best of the outside
world; her inland commerce has
a magnitude almost immeasur-
able; one OF her railroad systems
has just completed a terminal
and depot that has cost $780,
600, 200, a rival road is working
upon terminal and depot to
cost even more; she is nearing
the completion ofthe eighth won
der Of the world; a canal through
the mountains Of Darien to con
meet the Caribbean sea with the
Pacific-making a deep water
way through the mountains from
whose crest Balboa first saw the
Pacific. She has free schools for
every child, an absolutely un-
trammeled press-all her people
are sovereigns.
She is not perfect yet. There
are still many wrongs, many
mistakes, far too much crime,
but the struggle is constantly
upward. There is still unequal
taxation between the rich and
the poor; the laws in some places
arenotcarefully enough enforced;
in places combined wealth is OBJ

who are not great men attain to
high offices, but compared with
