Grand Jury Report Recommends Ranger Restraint in Brewster County
The February 1925 Brewster County Grand Jury urges Gov Miriam Ferguson to direct Rangers stationed in the county to obey laws and limits. It cites incidents where Rangers Arch Miller and John Hollis allegedly seized property and destroyed it without authority. The report notes no current lawless condition but calls cautious oversight and lawful conduct. The Retail Merchants Association asks businesses to close Friday afternoon to assist in beautifying Alpine City Touris Park with trees, sponsored by the Civic League.
