Tom Dancer, City Marshal

City of Maud

On Thursday, February 15, 1906, City Marshal Dancer was called into the blacksmith shop at Maud by blacksmith Vic Chambers. Chambers asked the marshal if he had called one of Chambers’ relatives a name. When Dancer stated he had and meant it, Chambers shot the Marshal twice. Marshal Dancer was able to return two shots before he died, one of which struck Chambers in the head, killing him instantly.
