Paden Tolbert
Paden Tolbert (c. 1863 or 1870 – April 24, 1904) was a 19th-century American law enforcement officer and railroad agent. He was one of the leading deputy U.S. Marshals in the Indian Territory during the 1880s and 90s and often worked with other well-known lawmen of his time including Bud Ledbetter, Heck Thomas and Bill Tilghman. He and his brother John Tolbert were both deputy marshals under "The Hanging Judge" Isaac Parker.
One of many young deputies first used by Judge Parker in the U.S. District Courts in Fort Smith and Muskogee, Tolbert was part of a legendary generation of U.S. Marshals that also included J.H. Mershon, A.J. Trail, Heck Bruner, Sam Sixkiller, Wes Bowman and Bass Reeves.〔Burton, Art T. ''Black Gun, Silver Star: The Life And Legend of Frontier Marshal Bass Reeves''. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2006. (pg. 7) ISBN 0-8032-1338-7〕 A reputation for courage and devotion to service, Marshal Leo E. Bennett stated that he considered Tolbert to be ''"one of the bravest men that he ever had on the force"''.
Tolbert and G.S. "Cap" White led the posse that was sent from Fort Smith to apprehend Ned Christie in the third and final attempt to force him from his mountain fortress. The siege lasted two days and involved dynamite and a cannon to destroy the hideout; this was the only time a cannon was used on civilians by U.S. law enforcement officers. Tolbert and Ledbetter are also credited with foiling the infamous 1894 train robbery at Blackstone Switch which led to the capture of Nathaniel "Texas Jack" Reed and his gang as well as the capture of the Jennings Gang in 1897.
As well as having the town of Paden, Oklahoma named in his honor,〔Shirk, George H. ''Oklahoma Place Names''. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1987. (pg. 182) ISBN 0-8061-2028-2〕 his family were the first to introduce Elberta peaches to Clarksville, Arkansas and for which the city remains famous.
