TENDERFO0T DUTIES
SCORNED BY RANGERS
Texas Force, Now Greatly Depleted,
Longs for Perils of the
Pioneer Days.

AUSTIN. Tex. up. The ranks Of the
Texas Rangers, once 500 strong, have
dwindled TO 80 men who yearn for
perils Of pioneer days,
This years Mexican revolt finds a
few scattered rangers at border points
for patrol duty. Unlike days when the
Lone Star constabulary helped chase
Pancho villa across sagebrtish trails,
there is no call for active duty across
the Rio Grande.
Modern crime-chasing is called ten
derfoot" work by these sombreroed
patrolmen. They remember days when
they accompanied Army cavalrymeE
into Mexico. Once they subdued IN
dams and desporadoes: nov an occa-
sional bank robbery. labor strike or OIL
town crime wave is considered mild
duty In comparison.
Five companies Of six men each COM
prise the remnant Of that historic
constabulary originally organized by
Gen. Sam Houston in 1885 It formed
a nucleus for the Republics Army.
The present organization was formed
i'm 1874 to fight Indians and white
"renegades" that infested pioneer paths.
Even today the Texas ranger runs
true to type. He must know how to
live in a saddle with the sky for a
roof Much of the time he is forced
to use automobiles, yet the ranger never
has deserted his cowboylike regalia.
I,onc-ranged rifles as we'll as revolvers.
boots end sombreros still remain part
of his eduipment.
