Zeke Miller
Between 1894 - 1907 Zeke Miller worked as a deputy U.S. Marshall. His
commission began 2 years before Judge Parker's death. He worked mostly
in the central district of Indian Territory. He settled around the town
of Alderson, in the Choctaw Nation. He was known to lead posses in search
of train robbers. In one all black posse led by Miller himself after the
MKT railroad was robbed he and his posse captured the gang of outlaws
within 4 hours of the incidents. (This story appeared in the Daily Oklahoman
almost 4 decades after the occurrence.-April 23, 1939.) Miller later moved
his base from Alderson to Macalester. Both places were repositories for
prisoner before they were brought to the Federal Court in Ft. Smith.
