Emanuel Dubbs, born in Ohio, became the first county judge in the Texas Panhandle and in Wheeler County. He came to know Texas as a buffalo hunter and took part in the famous Indian Battle of Adobe Walls in 1874. He gained wide respect when, as judge, he had a lawless U.S. marshal arrested. He served from 1879 to 1880 and from 1885 to 1890.
