1924: 1In Stephenville 1000 Klansmen were fed sandwiches, fried chicken, ice cream and cake. “The hooded Klansmen gathered on the east side of town and silently, but surely, marched to the square.” I was told by C. Richard King that during an earlier march, Judge Oxford stood facing the approaching klan on Washington street, and punched the leading marcher in the mouth. Stephenville Tribne (July 1924)
