Wagon from Stillwater

houstonbrothers1.jpgOn a late hot summer night of August 31, 1893, an armed wagon of deputies left Stillwater headed on their ten mile journey east for Ingalls, Oklahoma. At the head of the wagon on horseback rode US Deputy Marshal Tom Hueston.  Tom Hueston, had been pursuing the Doolin-Dalton gang since late November of 1892. Tom looked up into the half-moon lit star glistening sky of the Oklahoma plains and reflected back ten months to an early morning in late November. He remembered that fall foggy morning when he encountered one of the Doolin-Dalton gang members near Orlando Oklahoma. The feelings of anticipation of another gun battle swirled around him like a red dust devil drying out the inside of his mouth with anxiousness.
