  3. Distant relative was the mayor of Roscoe, TX in the 30's. The recently fired night watch man gunned him down with a .32. Mayor staggered to the hospital. Sepsis eventually set in I think, and the he expired a few days later. Those old lead bullets were deadly, even if they didn't kill you on the way in.
