It looks be from the oreodont subfamily Leptaucheniinae, so probably it's Leptauchenia or Sespis.

I'll go with Harry Pristis and limit my identification to 'selenodont artiodactyl maxilla'. You do have some Miocene strata (Ogallala Formation) in the Hays, Kansas area (but no Oligocene, which rules out Leptauchenia or Sespia). It ​could be an oreodont but there is also a small camelid (Procamelus) recorded from the Ogallala Formation. VERY interesting find!
