The front page has a two column heading; "THREE MASKED ROBBERS HOLD UP PASSENGER TRAIN IN OKLAHOMA" with subhead. (see images) McCurdy would be killed in a shootout with police a few days later.
Complete with 10 pages, light toning, irregular along the spine, otherwise nice.



wikipedia notes: Elmer McCurdy's final robbery took place on October 4, 1911, near Okesa, Oklahoma, targeting a Katy Train which contained $400,000 in cash that intended as royalty payment to the Osage Nation. However, McCurdy and his two accomplices mistakenly stopped a passenger train instead. The men were able to steal only $46 from the mail clerk, two demijohns of whiskey, a revolver, a coat, and the conductor's watch. A newspaper account of the robbery later called it "one of the smallest in the history of train robbery" owing to the minimal amount of money stolen.
