    ALLEE, ALFRED YOUNG (1905?1987). Alfred Young Allee, Texas Ranger, the son of Alonzo W. Allee, was born on September 14, 1905, in La Salle County, Texas. He was a member of the Texas Rangersqv for thirty-seven years, following in the footsteps of his father and his grandfather, Alfred Y. Allee I, both of whom also served in the rangers. Allee's first work in law enforcement was as a special game warden on the 7D Ranch in Zavala County in 1926. The next year, he became a Zavala County deputy sheriff. In 1931 he applied to Capt. William W. Sterling to join the Texas Rangers and was assigned to Capt. Light Townsend's C Company. His early years were spent preventing smuggling and cattle rustling on the Rio Grande border. In 1933, however, Allee, like many of the rangers, resigned following the election of Miriam "Ma" Ferguson as governor. During this period he served as a deputy sheriff in Beeville. With the election of James Allred as governor in 1935, most Texas Rangers, including Allee, returned to duty. In 1952 Governor Allan Shivers sent Allee's D Company into San Diego, Texas, to protect the newly founded Freedom party from molestation by the Duval County political machine run by George Parrqv. In January 1954 Allee was involved in a scuffle with Parr in the hallway of the Alice City Courthouse when Parr tried to take a ranger's gun after a disagreement. The fight ended with Parr sustaining light injuries and filing attempted murder charges against Allee. Parr later dropped these charges "for the good of the community."

    In April 1963 Allee's company was sent to Crystal City to supervise the city elections, for which local Hispanics had organized in an attempt to gain proportional representation in the city government (see CRYSTAL CITY REVOLTS). The rangers remained in Crystal City after the election of Los Cinco Candidatos and the subsequent resignation of the majority of city workers, who were predominantly Anglo. Allee soon found himself once again the subject of a lawsuit, this time filed by the new mayor of Crystal City, Juan Cornejo, who accused the ranger of physically and verbally abusing him. The charges were later dropped because of a lack of witnesses, and in fact most of the witnesses Cornejo named stated that Allee did not lay a hand on the mayor. In 1967 Allee and the rangers were again sent into a racially charged situation, this time to prevent violence during the Starr County strike by melon pickers. Once on the scene, the rangers began to enforce the state's antipicketing laws; more than fifty arrests resulted. Numerous reports began to surface of alleged ranger brutality and use of excessive force. Two of these cases, the arrests of Rev. Edgar Krueger and Magdeleno Dimas, drew heavy attention in the media. In June 1967 and December 1968 congressional subcommittees on civil rights met in Texas and found that the rangers had used excessive force in their handling of the striking farmworkers. In 1974 the United States Supreme Court concurred with the subcommittees and found in favor of the workers in the class-action suit Allee et al. v. Medrano et al. Allee, the last of the pre-Department of Public Safety rangers, retired on September 30, 1970. He died of cancer on January 13, 1987, in San Antonio. He had married Pearl Leach in 1928, and their son, Alfred Young Allee, Jr., also joined the Texas Rangers.

    Ex-Captain of Texas Rangers
    AP
    Published: January 14, 1987


    Alfred Y. Allee, a former Texas Ranger who gained national attention fighting political bosses and breaking up farmworker strikes in south Texas, died of cancer Monday. He was 81 years old.

    Mr. Allee worked as a deputy sheriff in Zavala County before joining the rangers in 1931. He left the group in 1933 when Gov. Miriam (Ma) Ferguson was in office. He rejoined the Rangers in 1935 after the group was placed under the direction of the Department of Public Safety, attaining the rank of captain in 1947.

    He began receiving national attention in the 1950's when he investigated political corruption in Duval County. In the 1960's he sought to break up farmworker strikes in the Rio Grande Valley and was accused of brutality against the predominantly Mexican-American laborers. He retired in 1970 in Carrizo Springs.

    Occupation:
    Alfred AlleeFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
    Alfred Y. Allee (b. DeWitt County, Texas, 1855, d. Laredo, Texas, 1896) was an American lawman prominent in Texas in the late 19th century, with somewhat of a reputation for quick and casual violence, and for shooting prisoners after they had already surrendered.[1]

    Allee became deputy sheriff of Karnes County, Texas, in 1882. That very same year, he shot and killed a robbery suspect under questionable circumstances; it was said Allee was merely settling an old score. He was charged, but not convicted, of the man's murder.

    While deputy sheriff of Frio County, Allee became involved in a disagreement with another sheriff's deputy about which man was the faster draw. Allee, packing two six-guns, shot the man eight times, killing him instantly. He was again acquitted of the charge of murder when witnesses testified that the other deputy had drawn his gun first, and Allee only defended himself.

    It must be said, however, that despite his penchant for shooting seemingly defenseless targets, Allee was not himself a coward. In September 1888, Allee was assigned to hunt down Brack Cornett, a vicious train and bank robber, whom he tracked to the Arizona Territory and shot dead after a heated gun battle on horseback.

    Aside from having a quick temper, Allee was also a racist with a profound hatred of blacks. Once a black porter shoved Allee while he was boarding a train, and Allee immediately shot the man through the heart. For the third time he stood trial for murder, and for the third time he was acquitted, largely due to the race of the victim.

    Allee was stabbed to death in a barroom brawl in Laredo in Webb County in 1896.

    Allee's son (Alfred Young Allee) was a notable Texas Ranger for 37 years.[2]

    Notes:

    "Julia Wilcox Allee had a sister, (Leonard) Meyer notes, Mary Jane Wilcox, who married Jackson Jacobs. He was killed while serving as Sheriff of Goliad County."

    It is an interesting family whose Texas roots go back to the area where Julia A. Allee was laid to rest in the old Clinton Cemetery during the Civil War, a war that would end in Confederate defeat and bring Reconstruction to the South, putting Clinton on the may as one of the most turbulent towns in Texas.

    All that is left of the county Seat of DeWitt County is the cemetery, as we previously mentioned being so nicely cleaned and restored by Fred Lott of Nursery.

    Many South Texas families have roots in and around Clinton, including some of the most historically interesting families to be found anywhere in the state. Such that of Julia A Allee. Mother to a family of Texas Rangers.
