I know of one I'd dearly like to find....in 1903, the Lt. Governor of our fair state , James Tillman, having taken offense to numerous editorials written in the State newspaper, gunned down N.G. Gonzales, said papers' editor at lunchtime on Main St. with a "long barreled Luger Pistol"... Mr Gonzales, a manly sort of man, replied to the .30 cal insult to the chest with, "shoot again, you coward!" , a request with which Mr Tillman declined to comply. Nevertheless, Mr Gonzales expired 4 days later. Despite numerous witnesses, Mr Tillman was exonerated by a jury of his peers, who evidently preferred gunplay in the streets to uppity newspaper writers. I only assume the Luger was returned to its' rightful owner.
