Deputy

Deputy marshal to Marshal Hunt in Deadwood, Dakota Territory,[1] in 1877. (December 15, 1844 – September 10, 1912)[2]

As Bret Maverick was fighting with Battling Kreuger in a boxing match at the Golden Nugget Saloon[1] in May of 1877,[2] the deputy caught Dandy Jim Buckley trying to blow down the wall to the jail with blasting powder to steal the money placed on the fight. The deputy jailed him and Marshal Hunt sentenced Buckley to sixty days for intended illegal use of explosives.[1]
