Homes Left In Terror,

While most Of the citizens had left
their homes In terror at the mention Of
the name Of Cortinas. there were a few
resolute men Of who determined to check
the advance the outlaws. The band was
led by several members Of the Dunn
family, an old ranching family Of the
coast country In Texas. The citizens met
the bandits at a place called "the Motts"
not far from the city. The Mexicans
were routed with three of their number
killed. One of the citizens was also
killed.
Such were the events Of the early DAYS
In Texas, when the King ranch was es-
tablshed. In spite Of the unsettled con.
dition of the times, however. or perhaps
because of them, Capt King slowly be-
gan to add to his ranch. The original
tract was increased until the whole
ranch, in Nueces and Cameron counties,
consisted OF 1.250.00o acres. All of the
land was stocked with Texas cattle.
There were no thoroughbred stock In the
whole ranching country.
