Doolin, Bill

Doolin, Bill

▪ American outlaw
byname of  William Doolin  
born 1863
died 1896, Oklahoma, U.S.

      Western outlaw who led a gang through robberies in Oklahoma and east Texas, 1892–95.

      A member of the Dalton Brothers gang, he alone missed the bloody ambush of the Coffeyville, Kan., bank robbery (Oct. 5, 1892); his horse had pulled lame long before reaching town. Thereafter, he built his own gang, robbing stagecoaches, banks, and trains. One by one, lawmen tracked the members down. Doolin, escaping arrest in 1895, tried to retire to a small Oklahoma farm; the next year he was discovered by Marshal Heck Thomas and shot to death.
