49-xx-xx ep18 Jailbird Rangers

Trog of the roaring west. From Tier Town. El Paso, Cheyenne, Calgary, Tombstone. From Tier Town. Here is the adventurous story of the early west. The tamed and the untamed.

From the pakest to powder river, Dodge City to poker flat. These are the towns they fought to live in and lived to fight for. Teaming crucibles of pioneer freedom. From Tier Town. I imagine everyone's heard of the Texas Rangers, but I wonder how many of you folks ever heard the story of the jailbird rangers.

The very start of what became the rangers in my state. I come from those reels just north and west of Texas and I'm the town's only lawyer. My handle? Chad Remington. And if you want to know why I feel qualified to tell you about the jailbird rangers, well, I guess it's because on two occasions they almost cost me my life.

You see, not too long ago, our entire state suddenly burst wide open with every kind of theory and neighboring in the book. Russell and Bank Robbery's coach hold-ups and just plain and simple murder. First the big bank in Alamo City was rated.

Then only two days later, way up in the Rockies, a Wells Fargo wagon was stuffed in rock. Not eight hours after that down in the rim rock country in the south part of the state, a trail herd of almost 2,000 head of fine cattle was raided and successfully rustled.

And so it went for the next five, six weeks. A crime in one county, and then as the sheriff and his deputies went into action, the gang struck again. and maybe 400 miles and five counties away.
