legislator fears for life,
lees state, says woman
United Press International
AUSTIN — A sobbing woman
entifying herself as Mike Mar-
smother said today the legisla-
, who is embroiled in a bizarre
se over a shotgun attack, has fled
state because he fears for his
feand his family’s safety.
The woman, reached by tele-
at Martin’s Longview resi-
■nce, identified herself as the
ishman lawmaker’s mother hut
fad to give her name.
I’m not going to give that out
the phone,” she said. “We
iow our phone is taped and ev-
ything.”
“Mike is afraid for his life and
ir the safety of his family, ”
lartin’s mother said tearfully.
He’s out of the state or the bigger
art of it at least."
Spokesmen with the Depart-
icnt of Public Safety and the Au-
inPolice Department confirmed
that officers were unsucces-
in their efforts to serve Martin
second subpoena ordering
to appear today before a Tra-
is County grand jury.
The freshman lawmaker was
^ lostlyfor
ith i
wounded July 31 by a gunman
who fired four shotgun blasts at
him in front of the trailer home he
lived in during the legislative ses
sion.
Initially, Martin told police he
did not see the gunman and knew
of no motive for the attack.
However, he now has told police
he was shot by a member of a Sata
nic cult that feared the legislator
would have its leaders arrested.
Martin said he had been investi
gating the cult, called the “Guar
dian Angels of the Underground”
for some time and had once consi
dered infiltrating the group.
Leslie Smith, a campaign advi
sor to Martin, made Martin’s
statements about the cult public
Monday, but said he did not be
lieve the story. Smith and Jim
Beasely, another Martin advisor,
were scheduled to appear today
before a grand jury investigating
the attack.
“This is just a big game to Les
Smith,” Martin’s mother said.
“He should just leave it alone and
let the police catch the culprit.
This isn’t a game and we don’t
want the publicity.”
Martin’s mother accused Smith
of “chasing rainbows’’ and said he
was just interested in making
headlines.
Subpoenas also were issued for
Martin’s banking and phone re
cords and for Wayne House, the
Gregg County Republican chair
man. House was staying at Mar
tin’s trailer the evening of the
shooting.
Martin’s mother said that her
son was supposed to call her Mon
day evening but had not called by
late Tuesday morning.
“He was supposed to call and
everytime the phone rings I think
it’s him,” Martin’s mother said. “I
just wish he would call.”
Martin told a Texas Ranger and
others last Wednesday that he had
frequent telephone discussions
with a member of the cult. He said
the man he spoke with had a deep,
distinguished voice and claimed
“half the people in Austin” were
under the influence of the cult.

—The 60,000-acre R. A. Brown
inch in Throckmorton County,
ie ranching family which dates
ick to 1900, is credited with
eeding horses that developed “a
iwsense” where the animal anti-
lated acow’s action and was able
cut or herd the cattle easily.
A. Brown, who built the ranch
id passed it on to his son before
is death in 1965, founded the
— The Lewis Ranches, one of
the oldest ranches in the Panhan
dle, founded in 1878 by three En
glish brothers. The ranches even
tually were taken over by Frank
Derrick whose father worked on
the ranch for 65 years to become
the general manager, a position he
still holds.
— The 166,000-acre Pitchfork
Land & Cattle Co., founded in
1870 by two boyhood friends.
D.B. Gardner, one of the found
ers, was a man of great compassion
and gave refuge to several lost
souls. One of them was Quanah
Parker, a white girl whose mother
was kidnapped by Indians before
the Civil War and who later mar
ried an Indian chief.
— The Scharbauer Cattle Co.,
founded near Midland by a Ger
man immigrant. Clarence Schar
bauer, the founder’s nephew, took
over the spread in the 1930s and
worked on it until his death in
1942.
— The Renderbrook-Spade
ranch, established in 1881 by Col
onel Isaac Ellwood, one of the two
inventors of barbed wire. Ellwood
also pioneered such modern in
novations as providing piped wa
ter to the cattle.
— Tongue River Ranch near
Dumont, Texas, which has a long
tradition of fine quarter horses. Its
original foreman, August Holm-
berg, owned a horse named Old
Cabby who worked until his 22nd
year and it was said that once his
rider roped an animal, Old Cabby
wouldn’t let him go. Kid Bacot,
who succeeded Holmberg, refer
red to those who couldn’t ride
horses as “drugstore cowboys”
and detested pickup trucks. At a
function honoring him for 50 years
of service on the ranch, Bacot said,
“Old cowboys never die; they just
take to riding pickups.”
The winning ranch will take
home a traveling trophy and a
bronze sculpture by cowboy artist
Lex Graham. The winning cow
boy will receive a hand-tooled sad
dle. The chili cookoff winner will
win a trip to the California version
of the world championship
cookoff.
Gate collections will benefit the
