Well, it happened http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F60D15FD3E5D1A7A93C7A9178CD85F468285F9, http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=4gIbAAAAIBAJ&sjid=vEkEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2677,4779845&dq=doherty+india&hl=en.  However, I reached the same conclusion that LibStar did-- this didn't go beyond the news into -- http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=doherty+india+1921&scoring=a&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=1920&as_hdate=1929&lnav=hist1.  In fact, the name didn't even come back into the news when Colonel Singh made his allegations in 2004.  For an American killed by hostile natives on foreign soil, there was surprisingly little reaction in the U.S. press.  If Wikipedia had existed in 1922, would this have been considered notable?  I don't think so.  Not notable then, not notable now
