Artist Depicts Roy Bean Bout In Langtry Championship
San Antonio artist Harry Anthony DeYoung paints a vivid oil of the 1896 Fussimmons Maher world championship staged by Judge Roy Bean at Langtry Texas. The piece, commissioned by the San Antonio Brewing Association, recalls how Bean created a cannon of publicity around the fight amid border tensions and reform era laws. The article also notes local updates from Pecos to El Paso and a July Fourth celebration, plus a tongue in cheek mention of a Munich police oddity about a man with a habit of trampling women's spectacles.
