  • [Sparks.FTW] He was a lad of about sixteen when his father was shot (but was not killed) by Mark Short. At the time, Shadrach Denson was sheriff of Lampasas County. Sam Denson swore that he would kill Short and did so. He hid for a time in Lampasas, then fled to Montana where he assumed the name of Gatlin or McGatlin. He was apparently quite prosperous there and managed to corner a lot of water rights. After twenty-five years, he returned to Texas, stood trial, and was acquitted.
