MAN WELL KNOWN
IN EL CENTRIC WAS
NOTED AS RANGER

The Los Angeles Sunday Times con
tains an article describing the exploits
Of the Texas Rangers, the story being
suggested by the action of Governor
Pat Neff in ordering the Rangers to
eoints threatened with disorders grow
ING out of the railroad strike.
The following are extracts from the
article, the principal actor being man
who will be remembered here IN El
Centre:
Trailed 500 Miles
An instance of long ride after
thieves was that of Capt. John
Hughes. who alone set out on horse
back on the trail of two desperadoes,
who had stolen a drove of horses mean
Austin. In the dead of winter, Capt
hughes trailed these two thieves more
rnan 500 miles, finally locating them
in the far western part of the state,
where they were living in an isolated
camp that they had established. He
took them prisoners and brought them
back, unaided, TO the scene of their
-rime.
On another occasion Capt Hughes.
who is now living in contented retire
ment on his little irrigated farm n
Tsleta, trailed notorious Mexican ban
dit more than 200 miles into the deep
aud dangerous recesses Of the Big Bend
region. Hughes went after the out
law alone. He braved the bandit in
tested border locality knowing that Ii
was a question of his life or the other
mans. He got his man.
Horse Knew Outlaw Trail
It was Capt. Hughes who once svned
the most famous horse in the ranger
service. This animal was gray in color
and fine to look upon. 1t seemed to
know when it was on the trail of an
outlaw, and it even had the reputation
of being able to follow the scent of Q
criminal. This remarkable faculty, ii
it can be called such, was strikingly
demonstrated one time when Capt
Hughes was on the chase of desperate
murderer who had fled into the wildS
Of the Big Bend country.
Night and impenetrabie darkness
came on and it was impossible to fol
low the trail by sight. The horse seem
CO to know, however, what to do. Ii
seemed so anxious to 90 on that Capt
Hughes turned loose the bride reir
and permitted it to take its owr
course. 1t was far past midnight when
tine horse suddenly slackened its speed
and lightened its hooffall. A few min
utes later there came into view the
smouldering embers of a camp fire
Capt. Hughes cautiously dismOunted
throwing bride rein over the head OF
the horse and approached the ring OF
light. He came upon the sleeping fugi
tive and had the irons upon his wrists
before the man was fairly awake.
Frequent El CentrO Visitor
Capt. Hughes is lifelong friend o.
Ira Aten of this city. Mr.. Aten AM
Capt Hughes served together with ts
Rangers in the early eighties. Capt
Hughes was a Ranger for 2S years an'
was a captain for q years. He fire
| quently comes to Ell Centre for extend
! ed visits with the Aten family.
