April 03, 1880
WORCESTER EVENING GAZETTE, Massachusetts, April 3, 1880   Page 3 has a short report headed: "Attempted Jail Delivery" with a Los Vegas, New Mexico dateline, beginning: "Last evening two desperadoes, David Rudabaugh and John Allen, entered the jail & shot & fatally wounded the jailer in attempting to rescue one Webb, a prisoner under death sentence..." & just a bit more. See the hyperlink for much more on Rudabaugh, a noted outlaw & gunfighter in the American Old West who figured in with the likes of Morgan & Wyatt Earp, the Clanton gang, & others.
Four pages, large folio size, a bit irregular at the blank spine margin from disbinding, otherwise in very nice condition.
