Menard, Texas, Sept. 7.—One
of the outstanding figures at
tending the fourth annual re
union of Texas ex-rangers here
is Captain Dan W. Roberts of
Llano, who was largely instru-
mental in freeing the state of
Indians during the early days. , __--------.
Captain Roberts’ exploits; ft®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®**®**
were so illustrious that Govern- 2 —
or Coke prevailed upon the Leg-
islature to appropriate $75,000
for frontier protection and put
him in charge of much of the
work. The famous Frontier
battalion was organized, Cap-
tain Roberts was commissioned
a lieutenant and soon rose to a
captaincy. He was a charter
member of the celebrated Com-
pany D, stationed in Menard
County, and worked in every di-
rection out of here.
J Captain Roberts was born in
! Winston County, Mississippi,
! October 10, 1841, and moved to
j Texas with his parents in 1843.
J From earliest youth he was a
I citizen of the great outdoors,
I and early took up weapons
against the Indians.
His career as a Texas ranger
began in 1873. It began very
auspiciously. Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Phelps had been mur-
dered by Indians near Round
Mountain, Blanco County. Many
of the young men in the com-
munity immediately upon re-
ceiving notice of the slaughter,
gathered at the home of Cap-
tain Roberts’ parents. There
a compact was formed. From
that moment forward Captain
Dan W. Roberts was engaged
in a war of extermination
against the Indians, when the
latter became bold and ferocious
Captain Roberts, with a party
of rangers encountered eight
Indians near Menard shortly af-
ter he became identified with
the rangers and in the engage-
ment that followed six of the
painted men ware brought low
and two were captured.
Charles E. Taylor, known as
the champion Indian fighter, is
among the attendants on the
reunion from Brownwood. He
joined the regular ranger ser-
vice in 1873 under Captain Jim
Connell. Taylor says that dur-
ing that year he believes he and
his body of men killed more In-
dians than had ever been killed
by any band of rangers in a like
period. He saiil that usually
the odds in men were against
the rangers in the ratio of 19
to 1, but that in all the combats
the Indians were either exter-
minated or driven off.
Taylor says that he was at
Brownwood when the first
house was built ami when the
last one was started. Taylor
says that Dick Sullivan, another
member of the ex-rangers, prob-
ably has killed more Indians
than any other ex-ranger at
the convention.
Among the Texas rangers
who had part in the famous
"Lost Valley” light was \V. W,
Lewis, an tx-mayor of Menard,
who is seeing after the com-
forts of the grizzled warriors.
He has engaged in a nuniler
of running lights with Indians,
I however, the Indians doing the
| running. He was horn in Ken-
tucky and w hile a child learned
the u*e of long Itarreled rifles.
He is now engaged in the lum-
U r business hree with his son
amt son-in-taw.
