The courage of a lawman led to his untimely death. Captain Frank Jones (seated, third from left with Company D in Realitos, Texas, in 1887) led El Paso Deputy Robert Edwards “Ed” Bryant and four Texas Rangers of Company D into a deadly ambush in the Mexican village of Tres Jacales on June 30, 1893. Jones’s death caused a border dispute between Mexico and the United States. Courtesy Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum.[/c
