This Day…

1918-Terrell County Sheriff D.L. Anderson was shot and killed at the train depot in Sanderson, Texas by a drunken cowboy name of Ed Valentine.  Within an hour of that shooting Valentine was lynched by citizens.  In his youth Sheriff Anderson was known as Billy Wilson and was a participant in the Lincoln County War.  He was arrested by Pat Garrett along with Billy the Kid at Stinking Springs.  Garrett later helped get him pardoned.
