The Texas Ranger: The carriage ride

the Texas ranger was traveling through red water,TX when he heard fight, he broke it up by  firing his gun in the air, it was to teenage kids who got into a fight over a Indian bone knife one of them found in the dirt, the Texas ranger walked up to them through a crowd of people & said "where are your parents" they said " they left 2 weeks ago on a carriage ride to Maud 5 miles SE of here an  said they'll be back in 5 days but they aren't back yet" so the Texas ranger said he'll go check on them and for them & to stay at the shop until he gets back, so he called Jessy James & a stranger named Leroy to go with him & then they left to Maud. they got there at midnight at the house that they where being held hostage, they heard screaming & fighting so they had Jessy go through the back door, Leroy through the window & the Texas ranger through the front door wham!! wham!! shatter!! they broke in to the house there was only 2 of them so they where outnumbered, so they surrendered. so they took everyone home, when they got home they brought the 2 to the sheriff's office. They where 2 WANTED:dead or alive the reward was $3.000 so he got the money & spited it up with the three of them & the Texas ranger  took off after another hard day of work
