When he got a little older -- We buried him on the side of a road -- We'll do the shooting -- But few honest men in this town -- We opened fire and they returned it -- If you pull it, Jack, I'll kill you -- Curling steel tendrils -- To make a killing, is why I want Aten -- Wild boy among the villains -- Would as soon go to a fight, as a frolic -- Venison is better than no meat at all -- Celebrated Xmas day by killing the two Odles -- He fell like a beef -- I'll break them up on lawyers' fees -- I'll shoot you right through the middle -- Never worked harder in my life. |
| Summary |
Ira Aten was the epitome of a frontier lawman. He enrolled in Company D of the Texas Rangers during the transition from Indian fighters to peace officers. The years Ira spent as a Ranger were packed with adventure, border troubles, shoot-outs, major crimes, and manhunts. Aten's role in these events earned him a spot in the Ranger Hall of Fame. |
