January 28
1858- Texas- Texas Ranger John S Ford was named supreme commander of all state forces by Governor Hardin R. Runnels. There were Indian uprisings from the Red River to the Rio Grande, and the governor was anxious to quell the threat by appointing a man of stature and forthright character. 'I impress upon you the necessity of action and energy,' the governor wrote. 'Follow any and all trails of hostile or suspected hostile Indians you may discover, and if possible, overtake and chastise them if unfriendly.'
1870- Arizona Territory- Cookhouse's Apache camp in the Dragoon Mountains is destroyed by the 1st Cavalry.
1878- Kansas- Dave Rudabaugh and his gang were arrested by posse led by Sheriff Bat Masterson of Ford County, for robbing a pay train near Kinsley the day before, netting $10,000. Rudabaugh and his gang had been trying to stay one jump ahead of Wyatt Earp who had been hired by the railroad to track him down for robbing a pay train in November of 1877.
1887- Arizona Territory- the territory's first train robbery is executed by 2 masked robbers 17 miles east of Tucson as the men take $20,000 from a Southern Pacific passenger train.
1917- Mexico- under pressure from the Mexican government, U.S. forces are recalled from Mexico after nearly eleven months of fruitless searching for Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa, accused of leading a bloody raid against Columbus, New Mexico. On March 15, 1916 U.S. Brigadier General John J. Pershing launched a punitive expedition into Mexico to capture Villa dead or alive.
