Alfred Y. Allee (1855-1895) - Born in DeWitt County, Texas in 1855, Allree became a prominent lawman, serving as a Texas Ranger, and as a lawman in Karnes and Frio Counties. As a lawman, Allee quickly developed a reputation for violence and was often known to shoot prisoners even after they had surrendered. When he was a Deputy Sheriff in Karnes County, Texas, in 1882, he shot and killed a robbery suspect under questionable circumstances. Some said that he was really settling an old score with the man and Allee was charged with murder. However, he was not convicted.

Later when he was working as a Deputy Sheriff in Frio County, Texas, the lawman became involved in a dispute with another deputy over who could draw their guns faster. The dispute ended with Allee shooting the other deputy eight times and leaving him dead in the dust. Again, Allee was charged with murder, but when witnesses testified that the other deputy had drawn his gun first, Allee was found justified for self-defense.

The quick-tempered lawman was also known to be a vicious racist and at one point when a black porter bumped into him while Allee was boarding a train, the lawman shot him dead. Once again he was arrested and tried, but again was acquitted, for a third time, largely due to the race of the victim.

In September, 1888, Allee was tasked with tracking down Brack Cornett, a member of the Bill Whitley Gang who had been robbing banks and trains in southwest Texas. Though the other members had been apprehended or killed, Cornett had fled to Arizona Territory. Allee soon tracked him there and after a heated gun battle on horseback, killed Cornett.

In 1895, he died of knife wounds sustained in a fight with Marshal A.J. Bartholomew in Laredo, Texas.
