Isaac "Ike" Rogers (18??-1897) - A black Cherokee, Ike was related to Clement Vann Rogers, the father of Will Rogers. Rogers became a U.S. Deputy Marshal, often working in the company of Bass Reeves, but more often worked under the direction of U.S. Deputy Marshal George Crump. His most famous effort as a U.S. Deputy Marshal, was the capture of African Cherokee outlaw Crawford Goldsby, aka: Cherokee Bill on January 29, 1895. He was also involved in a gunfight with the Cherokee outlaw Henry Starr and his gang near Bartlesville, Oklahoma on January 21, 1893. In the end, Ike was killed by Clarence Goldsby, Cherokee Bill's brother, in Fort Gibson in 1897.

Ben Robertson, aka: Ben Wheeler, Ben Burton (18??-1884) - The son of a respected Texas family, Wheeler was born Ben F. Robertson around 1854. He lived an honest life, marrying and having four children by the time he severely wounded an opponent in a dispute in 1878. Abandoning his wife and children, he fled the state, traveling to Cheyenne, Wyoming where he worked as a cowboy. Later, he wound up in Indianola, Nebraska, using the name of Ben F. Burton. There, he married a woman named Alice Wheeler in November, 1881, but after living with her at her parent’s home for a year, he abandoned her as well. From there, he went to Caldwell, Kansas, where he met up with an old friend named Henry Brown, who was serving as Caldwell's City Marshal. Now going by the name of Ben Wheeler, Brown appointed Wheeler as Assistant Marshal in December,  1882.

The two men “cleaned up” the tough town of Caldwell quickly, but Brown was having financial troubles and soon devised a plant to take care of his problem. On Apr. 30, 1884, Henry Brown and Robertson traveled to Medicine Lodge, Kansas, allegedly in search of a killer. However, their real intentions were to rob a bank, along with two other outlaw friends by the names of John Wesley and William Smith. However, their robbery attempt failed and the four quickly fled. Almost immediately, they were apprehended by a posse just outside of town. Taken to the Medicine Lodge jail, the outlaws were given a meal, their photo taken, and told to write letters to their families. At about 9:00 p.m.a mob broke into the jail and the prisoners attempted to dash for freedom. Brown fell quickly, his body riddled with bullets. Wheeler was also wounded but was dragged along with Wesley and Smith to a nearby elm tree and hanged.
