GREENLAKE REGISTER
April, 1888

KISSIN' KATE BARLOW CLAIMS TWO MORE MEN

FORMER TEACHER SEEKS REVENGE
On the afternoon of last Tuesday, former Green Lake resident Katherine Barlow was located in Refugio, where the outlaw had been seeking asylum for her crime of murder. The former teacher had shot to death Green Lake’s own sheriff last January, after the sentencing and just effecting of death to another former resident, who had been the teacher’s alleged lover.
The twenty-two year old woman, noted for her exceptional beauty and famous spiced peaches, shot and killed two men in cold blood yesterday afternoon, when an attempt was made to apprehend her and bring her back to Green Lake for sentencing and conviction of the crimes hereto detailed.
The men, who were hired by Green Lake’s esteemed Walker family, were found shot dead in an alleyway by Refugio residents, moments after Miss Barlow’s heinous actions. It is reported that one died of a stomach injury, while the other was shot through the head. Both men bore the same curious mark Miss Barlow left after the murder of Green Lake’s sheriff, now to be considered her calling card: a fresh, red lipstick stain, pressed to the cheek, forehead, and hand of each man respectively.
The woman, who has been on the lamb for nearly three months now, fled the town post haste, and as of yet has not been brought to justice. Sources say she was last seen in Blanconia, where the young outlaw allegedly robbed the Blanconia Savings Bank at gunpoint, making off with three-hundred and forty-seven dollars, and leaving none dead, though the bank owner badly injured. She is to be considered armed and dangerous, and the public is urged to approach with extreme caution.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of this criminal, please step forward immediately, before “Kissing Kate” strikes again!
$500 REWARD, DEAD or ALIVE!
