1887-Oklahoma Territory- outlaw Seaborn Kalijah was taken into custody on January 17, 1887, for selling whiskey to Creek Indians in defiance of local laws. Deputy Marshal Phillips turned the prisoner over to three of his possemen, Henry Smith, Mark Kuykendall, and William Kelly, to take the prisoner to Fort Smith for trial while he attended to another matter in Eufaula. During the night Kalijah broke free from his shackles and grabbed an ax and chopped up Smith and Kuykendall as they slept by the fire. The third man, Kelly, was shot to death and his body mutilated. When Phillips returned the next day he found the bloody remains at the campsite. He followed Kalijah's trail back to the family home where he was promptly arrested. Seaborn Kalijah was taken to Fort Smith where he was hanged for murder on October 7, 1887.
