At the age of 19, Elfego Baca appointed himself Sheriff off Socorro, New Mexico. He then sent out letters to all felons in the county, telling them he had search warrants for them and they must either come in and surrender or risk being shot by failing to do so. It worked and Baca was able to clean up what was once a seedy little town rife with outlaws, vagrants and drunks.Baca once stood off 80 plus drunken cowboys when he arrested one of their ilk and refused to surrender him to their angry mob.
