Walking With Sweet Sadie Dawg

There was a news story printed in the Fort Worth Daily Gazetter, Fort Worth, Texas, dated 2 April 1896, Thursday, page 2, with the following headlines: "Kilgore's Hot Shot" with sub-headlines: "Fired at the People of Wichita Falls and the Gazette."

It was concerning their views touching the causes of the late bank robbery and subsequent lynching. It might have been considered "Gilded and flagrant falsehoods." Those were the polite terms applied by Judge Kilgore to the declarations of the Gazette. And it was scored for its defense of the lynching of the murderers of Frank Dorsey. Judge Kilgore asserted that the Indian Territory was more law abiding than Texas, and asserted that the motive of the people of Wichita Falls and the Gazette was a Sinister one.
