EUCLID'S BROTHER WILLIAM BROADWELL 1799 - 1824 HAD A SON NAME Richard Latham Broadwell 1862 - 1892 HE JOINED THE DALTON GANG More than 100 years ago in a quiet little town in the Oklahoma Territory, members of the infamous Doolin-Dalton gang squared off against a posse of deputies in one of the deadliest confrontations in the history of the U.S. marshals. Four members of the notorious Dalton Gang (l. to r.) - Bill Power, Bob Dalton, Grat Dalton, and Dick Broadwell - lay dead after a shootout in Coffeyville, Kansas, On October 5, 1892. When the gang attempted to rob two of the town's banks at the same time, brave townspeople took up arms against the intruders. After the smoke cleared, eight people were killed and three wounded.
RICHARD L. "DICK" BROADWELL alias "Texas Jack", alias "John Moore"
is the man on the far right in this picture.Dick came from a prominent family that lived near Hutchinson, Kansas. When the Oklahoma Territory was opened he staked a claim at "Cowboy Flats" in Logan County, Oklahoma. There, he meet and fell in love with the young lady who owned the homestead next to his. She agreed to marry him if he would sell both their claims and move to Fort Worth, Texas. Unfortunately for Dick, she took all the money and disappeared. He returned to the Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) and went to work on the local ranches.
While working at the Bar X Bar ranch near the Pawnee Agency, Dick meet Emmett Dalton and a number of other future Dalton Gang members such as Bill Doolin and "Black Faced" Charlie Bryant.
Dick hooked up with the Dalton Gang in 1891. He was with them when they robbed the Katy train at Leliaetta (near Wagoner, Oklahoma) on the night of September 15, 1891. They took $2500 from the express car. On June 1, they robbed a train at Red Rock but made off with only $50.
The Gang attacked another train at Adair, Indian Territory on July 14. They were so quiet that the lawmen on the train did not realize the train was being robbed until the job was almost completed. There followed a fierce gunfight with the train's deputy marshals; in the process they killed an innocent bystander. The outlaws escaped unharmed.
The Daltons figured to make one last robbery, get enough money, and leave the country. They devised a plan to rob two banks at same time; a feat that no gang had done before. The banks they picked to rob were in their old home town, Coffeyville, Kansas.
Dick rode into Coffeyville on the morning of Oct. 5, 1892 with 4 other gang members: Bob, Grat, and Emmett Dalton, and Bill Power (there may have been a sixth rider but no one is sure). They tied their horses in what is today known as Death Alley across the plaza from the banks. Dick went with Grat Dalton and Powers into the C. M. Condon and Co. Bank. The bank cashier fooled them into wasting valuable time by telling them that the vault was on a time lock and they had to wait for it to open. This gave the citizens of the town (who had recognized the Daltons depite the false beards they were wearing) time to get weapons.
In the gun battle that followed four townspeople were killed and several wounded. Power, Grat Dalton, and Bob Dalton were killed trying to escape to their horses. Dick made it to his horse and was riding away when he was shot by two different townsmen. He managed to ride a half mile out of town before he fell off his horse dead.
Emmett Dalton, who was only 21, was blown out of his saddle by a shotgun blast in the back while trying to save his brother Bob. Despite the wound, he survived. He was sentenced to life in prison, but he was later pardoned by the governor, and moved to California.
Dick Broadwell's family were probably some what embarrassed by all of this but they came and carted Dick's body (after pictures were made) back to his home, Hutchinson, Kansas. They buried him at night in an unmarked grave in the Hutchinson Cemetery inside the Broadwell plot.
