Clint Peoples: He Gets His Man to catch Clyde and Bonnie when the pair came to visit the brother in Conroe. "But Clyde wouldn't let Dude out of the house when he came to town," Peoples recalled.

Through an informant the deputy learned the Barrow gang was hiding out with a group of bootleggers in the river bottom country near Nacogdoches. Peoples, the sheriff, a Texas Ranger and other lawmen went to the supposed hiding place and found the outlaws had already left for Arcadia, (See TEXAS, Page A12) Soft-spoken, deeply religious and always ready with a friendly word, Peoples missed by two days being the peace officer who caught up with Clyde Barrow and his gun moll, Bonnie Parker. The near miss of the Barrow gang came in 1934, two days before they were shot to death on a Louisiana back road. At the time, Peoples was a deputy with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.

Peoples is now senior ranger captain, the man in charge of the elite 82-man agency, unlike any other in the Northern Hemisphere. He is the first of the famed lawmen to bear the title of senior ranger captain since the colorful Rip Ford was bestowed the honor in 1858.
