Supposedly was the response of the commander of the Rangers when a local mayor telegraphed him for help quelling a riot and he sent ONE Ranger.

Probably apocryphal, but who cares?

We used to have a superior court judge here who was a former Texas Ranger and also a former Industrial League baseball umpire. He always said the latter was the tougher job . . . . he was known as "Judge Two-Gun Charlie" because he presided with two loaded .44 special Bulldogs on the bench, and used one for a gavel. Scary guy if he didn't like you .. .. .
