An ‘attachment for contempt’ summons document from the Territory of Oklahoma, “Logan County, First District,” issued to the “U. S. Marshal of said Territory,” to detain and bring “P. J. Heilman…before the Judge of the US District Court of Logan County, now in session to answer for a Contempt of said Court.” Signed on the reverse in black ink by Bill Tilghman as deputy, and countersigned by U. S. Marshal Patrick S. Nagle, who fills out sections of the upper field in his own hand. The front of the document is filled out in red ink by a Logan County clerk. In fine condition, with light staining to the signature panel.
