Jackson, M. M. was commissioned in the Western District at Ft. Smith, Arkansas.  In 1895, Jackson was sent to Kansas to serve a warrant of arrest to Bob Rogers for robbing the Mound Valley bank.  The tables were turned when Rogers and his gang got the drop on the deputy marshal, taking his guns.  When Rogers got back to his home area he had something to crow about which was embarrassing to Jackson.  However, Jackson got last laugh when in January 1895, when Heck Bruner and he arrested his gang at Vinita.  Rogers was given immunity for all of charges filed against and he would get $1,400 reward for gang member “Dynamite Jack” wanted by Colorado authorities, if he would help the deputy marshals capture the rest of the gang.  Whiskey laced with chloroforms was placed in the gang member’s drinks.  They soon became drowsy and went to bed.  When conditions were right to capture the gang, Bruner and Jackson entered the chambers, finding the drug had an effect on the outlaws but not enough to disable them.  A gunfight broke out which left three of the outlaws, including Texas Jack dead and the forth was taken prisoner.   Judge Parker gave Bob Rogers a stiff warning, stating:  “This is the fourth time you have been before me; if you are brought here again death will be the penalty.  Bob Roger was given immunity only to return to his life of crime robbing a train at Seminole Switch.  His big mistake came when the Anti Horse Theft Association of Kansas placed a reward on his head for stealing horses and cattle in Kansas.  Rogers end came on March 13, 1896 as he tried to escape from a posse of deputy marshals led by Deputy Marshal James Mayes.   Twenty-two thirty eight slugs and two charges of buckshot were fired through Roger’s body.  In August of 1904, Deputy Marshal Jackson arrested a farmer living near Walker Indian Territory on a charge of counterfeiting.
