Bandera, Texas THOMAS CLICK KILLED In the fall of 1866 Thomas Click was killed by Indians near what is known as Ranger Crossing on the Medina River, three miles from Bandera. He had started from Bandera one night to visit a man named Huffman, who lived six miles west of town and was preparing to move away. At the forks of the road the Indians came upon him; he was unarmed and could put up no defense, so was easily killed by lance thrusts. He fell by the roadside and the Indians stripped him and dragged him into the high grass a short distance away. The next day his brother, M. C. Click, and D. A. Weaver came along and noticed a pool of blood by the road, and upon investigation they found a small butcher knife which they recognized as belonging to Tom Click. After further search the body was found. Officers in town were notified and an inquest was held, after which Click's body was brought to Bandera and buried. A hastily organized party took the trail of the Indians, but they were not overtaken. Click was riding a mule at the time, which the Indians secured and carried away with them. end of article M. C. CLICK was Marcellus Collin "Marsh" CLICK. D. A. WEAVER was his father-in-law, David Adam WEAVER. Yes, this is an interesting family. Grant
