DINAMITE ATEN
AND HIS BIG BOOM
“Keep your ears
pricked, you may hear my dynamite boom clear down there (Austin). I
will use the greatest precaution and see that no innocent man gets
hurt with them. The dynamite is dangerous in setting unless a man
is awful careful. However, If I get blowed up, you will know I was
doing a good cause.â€
Letter to Captain of Texas Rangers
- Captain L. P. SIEKER, from Sgt. Ira Aten
Now, folks, Sergeant Ira Aten of
the Texas Rangers was getting awfully tired of finding cut barbed
wire fences. Matter of fact – he had had enough.
So he devised a little scheme to throw the cutters out of buiness
cause if he couldn’t catch
‘em – he could.
DYAMITE
‘EM!
And, in fact his scheme
“PUT A QUIETUS
ON FENCE CUTTING
OLD TEXAS RANGER MEMORABILIA
IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
Please read this. There were many a
western story published – the common ones about
Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones
about the how a Texas Ranger actually ended the fince cutting wars
are seldom found. This story is published in a very rare and seldom
found – off bound Western publication
– nearly 50 years old and a
collector’s item in itself. Collectors treasure
them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to
find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer
stories were published in the rest.
Here’s one of
‘em.

Following my retirement, I have
dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our
western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of
our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book
dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old
Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer
indexing, I index every item I sell.
This complete index will be bound
and included in this offering at no additional cost.
Humbly, I am trying to keep our
history alive.
I hope you appreciate the
effort.

MEMORABILIA
IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
While others clip ads from
magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our
past is being lost. It’s as simple as
that.
My wife kids me that after I find a
piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan
it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I
end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD
WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You
will love it as it was published in this old complete and seldom
found western magazine of many years ago. The issue is goodt
condition, the cover is pristine and in vibrant color.
As clearly stated in my
description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom
read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name
of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my
index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you
understand.
Buyer pays postage of $3.50 First
Class Postage to U. S., $4.50 to Canada. $4.60 Priority Mail.
$10.00 Par Avion (Air Mail) for International Mail. Texans must pay
8-¼ % sales tax. Thanks,
Tom
