Dan Maples.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Dan Maples was killed in an ambush by an outlaw in Tahlequah, Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). The Marshals Service attempted unsuccessfully to raid the home of the subject five times over the next several years in an attempt to arrest him. On October 19th, 1892, the man shot and killed Deputy Marshal John Fields during an attempt to raid the home. The man was finally killed three weeks after Deputy Marshal Fields' murder during another attempt. The home was riddled with thousands of rounds of gunfire, shot by cannon fire, and then blown up with dynamite. Deputy Marshal Maples was a veteran of the Civil War.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Maples served with the United States Department of Justice.
Thank you for your service. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
