In 1876 a stranger appeared in a community near Waco named Tom Johnson. She wore male clothing and “carried the part of the beau admirably. She proved herself an expert horseman, and adept with the revolver and Spencer rifle. She attended a camp meeting and on two occasions, sat on the anxious seat and asked for the prayers of the congregation. When by accident her sex became known, the sheriff arrested her and carried her before the Justice of the Peace. He knew no law by which he could hold her and she was permitted to go free.” Before she left the area she told someone she was from Comanche and had assumed the disguise because she had killed a man.
