The Wagon from Guthrie

The second wagon, dispatched from Guthrie was well down the trail by mid afternoon of August 31st.  The overnight journey would take the travelers into the depths of the Doolin-Dalton gangs’ hideout; a place where the devil rode the wind and the sun baked in and among the thickets of cowboy flats, where lay in hiding, the desperate outlaws of Oklahoma. The Guthrie wagon was driven by Jim Masterson, a well known lawman and buffalo hunter from Dodge City Kansas. Jim, a just appointed marshal, had seen his share of gunfights and as the wagon cleared the hilltop at 7:30 A.M on September 1st he caught his first glimpse of the quite town of Ingalls. Jim pulled back on the rains of the team of horses. The wagon came to a stop. Jim, then, looked back into the backboard as the hot mid morning sun dazzled into the sleepy eyes of John Hixon, Doc Roberts, Ike Steel, Steve Burke, and Lafe Shadley.
