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 prisoners before they were brought
to the Federal Court in Ft. Smith.
