Docketed (unknown hand) on verso. Bill Tilghman (1854-1924) was appointed Marshall of Dodge City, Kansas, in 1884 and wore a badge made of two $20 gold pieces. He left Kansas and joined in on the Oklahoma land rush of 1889, staking a claim in Guthrie, Oklahoma, where he lived for the rest of his life. Tilghman was appointed Deputy U.S. Marshall in 1892. He spent the next 20 years cleaning up the area with two other lawmen, Chris Madsen and Heck Thomas. They captured dozens of outlaws and tracked down the infamous Bill Doolin and his gang, the "Oklahombres". Tilghman served in the Oklahoma State Senate (1910-1911) and became the head of the Oklahoma Police Force in 1911, retiring in 1922. Two years later, he was persuaded by the citizens of Cromwell, Oklahoma to become their City Marshal. On November 1, 1924, as Tilghman led Wiley Lynn, an unruly drunken probation officer to jail, Lynn pulled out a small automatic pistol and killed the 70-year-old former Marshal of Dodge City. Lightly creased. Separations at mid-horizontal folds inexpertly repaired with tape on verso, affecting 9 words of typed text. Light show through from ink on verso. 2 file holes at upper blank margin, ¾-inch hole over 2 crossed out words due to chemical reaction of ink. Nicked at upper and lower and upper left blank edges.
