July 15, 1892
DETROIT FREE PRESS, Michigan, July 15, 1892 Page 2 has a quite brief article headed: "By The Dalton Gang" "A Passenger Train Held up and $40,000 Secured from the Express Safe" (see). On July 14 the Dalton Gang made its last train robbery at Adair, Indian Territory. They made such quick & quiet work that the deputies--where were on the train--didn't realize it was being robbed until the job was nearly completed. The robbery was followed by a fierce but brief gun battle with the bandits, during which an innocent bystander was killed. The Dalton Gang escaped unharmed.
Ten pages, various toning, chipping at the margins, otherwise good. Should be handled carefully.
