William B. Dunn (18??-1896) – Dunn and his brothers, Bee, Calvin, Dal, and George, ran a road ranch near Ingalls, Oklahoma, for travelers looking for a place to eat and rest. Sometimes, these travelers that made the mistake of stopping were robbed, killed, and never seen again. The Dunn brothers sometimes acted as bounty hunters and helped law officers track down outlaws. Dunn also owned a meat market in Pawnee, Oklahoma, where he disposed of cattle he and his brothers had stolen. When Charley Pierce and George “Bitter Creek” Newcomb, members of the Doolin Gang, stopped at the Dunn Ranch to see Rose Dunn, Newcomb’s teenage girlfriend, her brothers turned them in for the reward, and lawmen killed both. Dunn also led Heck Thomas and his posse to the hiding place of Bill Doolin on August 25, 1896. When Thomas demanded Doolin’s surrender, the outlaw pulled his six-gun and fired twice before Bill Dunn’s shotgun blast cut him to pieces. The people of the county began to get angry over Dunn’s tactics, and on November 6, 1896, he blamed Deputy Sheriff Frank Canton for the brutal way Newcomb and Pierce had been killed. Canton soon confronted Dunn, and when Bill pulled his revolver, Canton put a slug in his forehead, killing him instantly.
