Roll of Honor
Incident
Sheriff Bullard and Deputy John Cogburn were shot and killed while investigating a group of men suspected of selling saddles and other items. The two officers rode into the county and were both shot and killed as they talked to members of the group.
There were two suspects but they were never apprehended.
These murders were witnessed by a man named Robinson (along with the rider on the opposite hill). He was a cook for the Miller outfit gathering cattle. (My g-grandfather, Zach Miller, was the Sheriff of Roger Mills County, OK 1896 to 1900.) This scared Robinson so much, he didn't tell anyone until he was much older. His granddaughter was my cousin and when she told me about this story, she said the whole family thought he was a liar. I dug into it and found it was the truth. I never understood why the gang that did this, didn't swing for all they did. I hope Sheriff Bullard and his deputy RIP. End of Watch.
