In the mid-1880s and early-1890s, Arthur Mills Mackey lived in Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas. He was an attorney and practiced with his well-known law partner, Samuel Newitt Wood. In that capacity, he became involved in the 1886–1891 difficulties in Stevens County, Kansas, which included its county-seat war, the 25 July 1888 Hay Meadow Massacre, in No Man’s Land (now the Oklahoma Panhandle), and the subsequent June–July 1890 John M. Cross murder trial, in Paris, Lamar County, Texas.
After the 23 June 1891 assassination of Samuel Newitt Wood—by a hired gunman, James Brennan—he assisted the efforts of Wood’s family to bring him to trial. After they failed to do so, Brennan relocated to Oklahoma Territory.
On 16 September 1893, Arthur M. Mackey participated in the land rush into Oklahoma Territory’s Cherokee Strip. He settled on a claim, in what became Oklahoma’s Grant County, began to practice law, and eventually became a judge.
The following items provide additional details on him and his family.
