Has anyone heard of Buz Lucky, perhaps an outlaw around the time of the Rufus Buck gang?

Posted at another spot on this board is: BASS LUCKY CAPTURED
January 4, 1895 —Indian Journal— Fort Smith , Ark. Dec 31—Another alleged member of the famous Cook gang now languishes in the federal jail at this place under a charge of murder.
On the 5th of this month six deputy marshals surrounded the house occupied by Bill Root, near Broken Arrow , a small post office fifteen miles from Tulsa , Creek nation. Not finding any one they wanted two of the deputies, B. C. Brichfield and Leforce, approached some haystacks about 100 yards from the house. When near them two men, who afterwards turned out to be Root and Bas Lucky, jumped up and showed fight. A running fight took place in which about forty shots were exchanged.
Birchfield was unhurt but Leflore received a wound which resulted in his death. Both of the desperadoes escaped. Lucky was caught a few days ago at the home of his brother near Choska. He was brought in today by Birchfield, and upon examination by Commissioner Bridgeslara was committed on charge of murder.
Lucky’s capture is regarded by the authorities as an important thing.
Art Burton's book, "Black, Red and Deadly," has quite a bit about Lucky. Suggest you get a copy and start your search there. There's also a good deal in "Hell on the Border," by S. W. Harman

Hi Mike: Was Lucky Creek, black, mixed. I suspect he was one of the above if Art has quite a bit about him in his book.

Hey Roger, I'll have to let the Kid or somebody else answer that one. Harman says he was a "big mulatto and Burton simply calls him a big strong man. Harmon has a picture and from looking at it I'd say he had some Indian. Good looking dude
