"Richard Ware, age about 50, died last Thursday in a 
hospital in Fort Worth as the result of heart failure. 
In 1878, he was a mere boy, yet he was a Captain in 
the Ranger Service. When out scouting he met Sam Bass 
and two of his comrades in Round Rock and a battle ensued.
After the firing ceased, Bass and Barnes were dead and 
Jackson wounded. Ware did the shooting. Afterwards he was 
sheriff of Mitchell county for 5-years. President Cleveland 
appointed him a U.S. Marshal for the Western District 
of Texas and served until the outgoing of the democratic 
administration. He then went into the cattle business."
