RANCHMEN DESERVE PROTECTION

American ranchman doomed TO be killed because OF me
nadeouay Of protection and Of them felt forced to
consider moving clear out Of the district to save Their lives
and property abandoning their ranches abandoning that
part Of the state Of Texas to the Mexican invaders
But a few days ago the ranchmen gathered from 100
miles roundabout at the house at Van Horn and list
ened to plan laid before them by Colonel Langhone Tor
helping themselves He suggested cowboy eonstabulary
divided into patrols and each patrol covering certain d-
mite locality. He would divide the whole region into checker
board districts with each patrol covering It's district and re-
porting to the patrols with which 1t would come IN con-
tact; making reports by telephone also, to the military
headquarters in Maria This would be for the purpose Of
quickly apprehending any strange Mecans OF picking up
and reporting any trails Of suspicious appearance dsoov-
erng the presence Of bandits Texas soil IN fact before
they had chance to attack
This plan is now being worked out by committee the
only recourse If neither the national state government
VIII afford the proper protection
Realizing the inability Of his command to afford the pre-
venve measures needed Colonel Langhorne IS endeavorng
get the constabulary plan going 1t wiz work. though It
hardship the ranchmen to be obliged to neglect their
work and take their employees from their duties to afford
themselves the protection which the United States guar
antees them There ought to be another cavalry regiment
IN the Big Bend and then the protection would be III
adequate until the new troops famarzed themselves thor
oughy with the country its mountains plains ranches and
waterholes. The ranchmen at their Van Horn meeting
adopted resolutions be to president Wilson and the
governor of Texas asking very respectfully and in very mod
crate words for adequate protection Let It be hoped that
