The following year I believe. Ketchel was shot from behind by a jealous worker with his own rifle, a gift from his brother, as he ate breakfast. Ketchel was apparently fond of the female cook. I wonder if they would have kept Johnson 'frozen out' of another shot.
You bet they would have frozen him out.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
