THE ROCHESTER EVENING EXPRESS, New York, July 11 1876 The front page has: "The Missouri Railroad Robbers" with subheads: "Bodies of Men in Pursuit of the Outlaws--Their Capture Hourly Expected--The Adams Express Company's Loss".
This is a nice & timely account of the robbery of the Missouri Pacific Railroad by Jesse James & the Younger brothers. It concludes with: "...There is reason to believe that the notorious Missouri bandits, the James and Younger boys, were engaged in the robbery."
History would prove this report correct as Jesse & Frank James, and Cole, Bob & Jim Younger, among others, robbed the Missouri Pacific Railroad on July 7.
Page 2 has a report of a baseball game headed: "The Ball Tossers".
