Deputy U.S. Marshal Dan Maples was killed in an ambush by an outlaw in Tahlequah, Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).
The Marshals Service attempted unsuccessfully to raid the home of the subject five times over the next several years in an attempt to arrest him. On October 19th, 1892, the man shot and killed Deputy Marshal John Fields during an attempt to raid the home. The man was finally killed three weeks after Deputy Marshal Fields' murder during another attempt. The home was riddled with thousands of rounds of gunfire, shot by cannon fire, and then blown up with dynamite.
Deputy Marshal Maples was a veteran of the Civil War.
