Bill Dunn and his family owned a road ranch in Ingalls, Oklahoma, for travelers looking for a place to stay and eat while traveling. Some of these travelers they robbed and killed. His brothers were Bee, Calvin, Dal, and George who, along with Bill formed their gang of thieves. They also acted as bounty hunters and aided law enforcement (for a reward) to capture other criminals. Bill Dunn also owned a meat market he used to dispose of cattle he and his brothers had stolen. It was the Dunns who turned in Charley Pierce and George "Bitter Creek" Newcomb , members of the Doolin gang, to Deputy Sheriff Frank Canton which led to their deaths. Dunn led Deputy Marshal Heck Thomas to Bill Doolin's hideout which led to Heck Thomas killing Doolin. All of this led to the local citizens anger about how the outlaws were killed and Dunn's part in it all. Dunn blamed Deputy Sheriff Frank Clanton about how Newcomb and Pierce were killed. On November 6, 1896 Canton confronted Dunn over this and when Dunn pulled his gun, Canton shot him dead. This rare photograph of Bill Dunn was taken in Pueblo, Colorado in the 1890s. He is dressed to the nines and appears to be grasping  the grip of his concealed gun with is right hand.
