In 1860 Bosque County leader Buck Barry and a band including Captain Clark and Mr. Ferris pursued horse thieves from Lampasas to Waco and Meridian. One captive, Covington, was hanged near a camp. Tucker was later executed at two o'clock after public verdict. The group faced threats, with vigilante actions continuing into Meridian and Waco.
