Texas more than 260,000 square miles. And 50 men who make up the most famous and oldest law enforcement body in North America. The files of the Texas Rangers come these stories based on fact. Only name, states and places are fictitious or obvious reasons.

The events themselves are a matter of record. Tonight's case, the Broken Spur. Saturday night, June 5th, 1948, the time 10th the M. On a small ranch, 10 miles south of Cranston, Erwin County, Texas. Milton Thomas was counting a large sum of money, a territory to locken it up for night.

As he was counting, his dog, Rags, appeared to be nervous. Thomas tried to quiet him. Rags, stop that you're making me count wrong. This is 100... What is him doing tonight? Now stop it! Quiet back, stop!

What do you want to say? Me is tough, fully the time to be knocking at people's dogs. Not even about that long. Get your dog back or up? Get back or you'll get the same thing.

Get away from that dog. Give me that money. No, I want you ass for it. No, no, no, don't take me. Get up, get up. Tails of the Texas Rangers will continue in just a moment.
