Active from 1882 to 1903, Phantly Roy Bean Junior was a saloon keeper operating in the tent city dubbed "Vinegaroon" when he was appointed as Justice of the Peace of the newly formed Precinct 6 of Pecos County at the request of a Texas Ranger active in the area. Dubbing himself "The Law West of the Pecos," Bean held court in his saloon, and earned a reputation as a colorful Old West personality, both as a questionable figure who leveraged his position to his advantage and enforced a drink minimum on juries, and as a benefactor of the local children and respected enforcer of law in an otherwise lawless area.
