A number of robberies and murders were accounted to this gang. They were known to be located near the head of <a href="/wiki/Doolin_Run" title="Doolin Run">Doolin Run</a> near Tarpan Ridge. The home they occupied was found to have an escape tunnel that had been used to escape capture on several occasions. A local group of citizens known as the "Redmen" ultimately cornered the gang at this home and a number of the members were killed. A detailed description exists in the Wetzel County History written approximately in 1900. </p><p>The oldest oil well location known is of one drilled on Long Run near Doolin Run which reached oil at a depth about 360 ft. </p><p>Wetzel County has a long history in the Oil and Gas producing industry. During the Oil boom of the 19th century it is reported that the Proctor Creek watershed had 12 saloons and numerous livery/hotels to accommodate the hundreds of logging and oil field workers. </p>
