Jack County, Texas

Fort News

The Herald publishes the following from the frontier:
We are informed by a gentleman just from Jacksboro that the line of posts extending from Fort Sill, in the Indian Territory, to Fort Concho, Texas, are now fully established, with daily patrols from one post to the other, and under the energetic and prompt action of Generals Buell and Davidson, the frontier, we are told, is freer from depredations than it has been for several years. Our informant represents everything very dull at Jacksboro, nothing doing and money very scarce ; but the paymaster is expected in a few days, when money will begin to circulate more freely[The Galveston Daily News (Houston, TX) Tuesday, July 14, 1874; Issue 162; col F]
