"A prominent Texan in Washington
recently expressed doubt that the
United States army should have been
sent into Mexico to capture Villa,
suggesting that a company of Texas
Rangers would have been better.
Which brought out the story of a
certain well-known ranger captain
and riot at Fort Worth, Texas.
Excited citizens wired to the gov
ernor for company Of rangers to be
sent without delay. Aid was prom
ised. A large delegation of citizens
met the train on which relief was
supposed to come. A quiet little man
with a broad felt hat on the back of
his head alighted and was recognized
as the captain of company or rang.
