GANG WIPED OUT IN COFFEYVILLE, KANSAS

See the source image




On October 5, 1892, the famous Dalton Gang attempted the daring daylight robbery of two Coffeyville,
Kansas, banks at the same time.

But if the gang members believed the sheer audacity of their plan
would bring them success, they were sadly mistaken. Instead, they
were nearly all killed by quick-acting townspeople.

For a year and a half, the Dalton Gang had terrorized the state of Oklahoma, mostly concentrating on train holdups. Though the
gang had more murders than loot to their credit, they had managed
to successfully evade the best efforts of Oklahoma law officers to
bring them to justice.
