During the fight at the TA ranch the mob talked a great deal about the way the men who were in the employ of the Stock Growers’ Association last summer and fall had terrorized the settlers. They claimed that last summer and fall there was only four men in the employ of the stock association for the purpose of killing off the rustlers; they claimed these four men were Frank Canton, Tom Smith, Joe Elliott and Fred Coats. Elliott and Canton had a good deal to say about how they would be back after the fight at the TA ranch. They said they would terrorize the settlers of Johnson County when they got back again so that those settlers who had an opportunity to leave would get out of the country the best way they could. The troops from McKinney did not arrive quite as soon as the leaders expected; they thought that the commander of the troops was standing in with the sheriff’s posse, and had taken the wrong road to the TA ranch. When the troops came in sight soon after sunrise the mob appeared in fine spirits, and said that their friends--Governor Barber, Senators Warren and Carey--had sent the troops to their rescue, and that it would be but a short time when they would come back stronger than ever, and would kill off every man that packed a gun again the mob at the TA ranch.
