Sheriff Sam Adams
Miss Katherine (the school teacher) fell in love with Sam the Onion man, who was negro. In the book, a woman from the town caught Katherine and Sam kissing, and she notified the sheriff, and pretty much the whole town. The schoolhouse was being burnt down, when Katherine ran to the sheriff to report it, he demanded a kiss from her. He said that if she kissed Sam, she should kiss him as well. She refused, and ran away. Sam was killed when he and Katherine were trying to escape from Green Lake, and after then, Katherine went to the sheriff, shot him dead, applied a fresh coat of lipstick and kissed him on the cheek. Since then, she became the outlaw Kissin' Kate Barlow, who robbed and kissed the men she killed.
