CHIEF MILTON JONES

June 30, 1895

Chief Milton Jones was shot to death during a jailbreak by "three notorious outlaws" after pistols were smuggled into the jail which the trio used to overpower the jailer. Once outside a disturbance over commandeering a wagon brought Chief Milton Jones and a gun battle erupted. Chief Jones was shot to death while other policemen and citizens returned fire, which killed one while the other two, escaped and were never brought to justice.
