Nacadoches, Comanchee County, Texas? are you saying the town of Nacadoches in Comanchee County, Texas? There is a town and a county in eastern/central Texas named Nacogdoches and a town and a county in western/central Texas named Comanche, but I've never heard of a Nacadoches, Texas, in Comanche County or any other county. I do not find it on any map or Atlas, nor the internet, so I think you might be confused or just mis-typed something.
Comanche County claims the following in the official Texas Handbook, speaking of early Comanche County:
"The people worked for economic and social stability and were impatient with outlaws. When the notorious John Wesley Hardin killed Brown County deputy sheriff Charlie Webb in Comanche in 1874 many local citizens resented Hardin's escape. In misguided retaliation, a mob of 300 residents of Brown and Comanche counties stormed the county jail where Joe Hardin (brother of the outlaw) and two of the outlaw's associates were being held. The three prisoners were lynched. Some months later John Hardin was arrested in Florida, tried for murder in Comanche, and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison."
