EARLY WESTERN Jl'IKJi
Win Quaint Character and Handed
Out Some "Hicteifaaqua" Law
Acting aa the arm, pillar, ami in
fan almost the whole law in the region
west of the Pecos River, Judge
K??y Bean, with his headquarter* a
saloon, presided, according to The]
Mentor Magazine, over a territory (
somewhat larger than the combined,
area of Massachusetts, Rhode Island j
and Connecticut. Since his death in
1P14 Judge Hoy Bean's reputation ha s
j taken on a Humorous glamor that has
I lost nothing by the countless stories
told about him in the l?ne Star
state.
For instance, -the case of the cowboy
who shot a Chinaman: The case,
was brought before Judge Koy Bean, |
who gave the matter serious attenlion
and finally handed down a decision
that he could find nothing in
the law against shooting a Chinaman.
But the Chinaman had in his pockets 1
a sin-gun, likewise a twenty-dollar
gtdd piece. Judge Bean, being a
practical man, decreed that the
Chinaman had violated the law by
carrying a concealed weapon. He
therefore fined the Chinaman twenty
dollars and turned the cowboy loose.
The gold piece naturally stayed with
the judge.
The judge was a vital and picturesi
?iue character. Born in Kentucky,'
i Roy Bean went to Santa Fe, New
Mexico, in 1845, at the age of Id.
Two years later he was fighting with'
United States troops in Mexico.
After his discharge he set up in
business at San Gabriel, California.
Wnen the Southern Pacific stru k its
irst rails across West Texas Roy
I'.t-an went along with the construe (
ti<;n crews. Finally he opened up an
i - ublishment at Vina Gardone, :n
Va! Verd- county. One day l.::y
Lar.gtrv was passing through by a
train that happened to stbp for a few
minutes at Judge Bean's town, then
as now merely a frontier crossroads.
But the beautiful lady admired the
}4aee, and that pleased Judge lic-an
so much that he had the town renamed
"I.angtry." So you will find
.t in the postal guide today.
He was made a J. P. in the early
lHhO's at the instance of the officialof
the Southern Pacific Railway because
he was the man best suited to
handle the rough element in a vast
r.cw area that had few law-abiding
citizens, but many outlaws, renegade
Mexicans and untamed Indians.. Roy
Bean at once slapped up a huge sign
across the front of his quarters and
-<-t to work putting the fear of the
!nw into the residents of his territory.
From the time of his appointment
Judge Bean served without re-election
< r reappointment until the early UO's
when he was legally and properly
elected, and served for a few more
years. His "Temple of Justice' still
stands by the side of the road, badly
' in need of repairs that Um railroad V
is planning, preparatory to mahaglt J
! a show place on the ltii . 1
