Return filed by Chris Madsen, 1895. A United States warrant with Return, filed April 4, 1895, for Zip Wyatt, alias Dick Yeager, John Doe and Richard Ron. Return is signed "C. Madsen / Dep. U. S. M." Madsen writes on the Return: "Within named man has been pursued by myself and other deputies for several months. On the 3rd last, he was reported near Enid, and I went there, and took up his trail, but did not arrest him, as a party of farmers, who were also pursuing him, had already secured him before I could overtake him. As he is so badly wounded as to be considered incurable, and may die at any moment, I recommend that such testimony as may establish his identity be taken at once in the jail where he is now confined. (Enid). This that it may be positively known that he, who is wanted for many crimes, is no longer at large, and that if no other complaints are entered against him, he be held on this." Zip Wyatt was known as one of the most notorious outlaws in Oklahoma Territory and a member of the Doolin-Dalton gang.
