and vide-opeht town in the history of the Mid-Continent oil
field boom towns, with dance halls, gambling, halls and sa
loons running in the open. .
'The town is under two'gun" rule, famous as Texas law
enforcement, but all the time of . deputy sheriffs and Texas
"rangers is taken up hunting hi-jackers and trying to prevent
robberies. ' "
The town is 30 miles from the city of Panhandle, the near
est railroad point, and 60 miles from Amarillo, the oil capital
of the Panhandle country. . r ;
Red Waters and Jack Sea v are two of the most active
officers in the area, with a good record of catching1 hi-jackers
to their credit. ... ' . '
However, in spite of the best efforts of the local, gen
darmes, Borger is probably the finest modern example of the
old-fashioned, hard-boiled, quick-trigger hot tempered ' boom
town of - history, f IU population is overwhelmingly male and
almost unanimously of the traditional oil-hunter type. Man-
- ners, as-suchi da not exist s And the itown's 400 women are
not exactly of the usual M400" style. ; ;
It is suggested that those who seek, in Borger, thrills and
atmosphere had better take care. IBorger is in no mood to be
"studied." He who penetrates to its oily fastness had best
- take extreme caution. Cleanliness is suspect. Defrential
manners simply don't work. i . - -
Tn other words, the Wild West of beloved-fiction has' re
turned. Of course, there ! isn't much of the old West's pic
turesqueness, but much of the old spirit is , still intact. Rough
and ready. Take it or leave it. Shoot your wad. . Tomorrow
may bring in a gusher.
