That is such a crock .... the real story is a lot less colorful. 

"The often cited "One Riot, One Ranger" appears to be based on several
statements attributed to Captain McDonald by Albert Bigelow Paine in
his classic book, Captain Bill McDonald: Texas Ranger. When sent to
Dallas to prevent a scheduled prize-fight, McDonald supposedly was
greeted at the train station by the city's anxious mayor, who asked:
"Where are the others?"

To that, McDonald is said to have replied, "Hell! ain't I enough?
There's only one prize-fight!"

Oh by the way... they didn't have a riot... and they didn't have the
prize fight neither.... golly dag nabit.. but it sure sounds good don'
it?
