NO. 3
TWO BANK ROBBERS SHOT;
HENRY STARR ONE OF THEM
Seven men raided two banks
in Stroud last Saturday, one man
held the horses at a wagon yard
on which the robbers were to
make their get away, while the
other six in two parties of three
each at the point of pistols held
up the officers of the First Nat-
ional Bank and the Stroud Nat-
ional Bank. They secured $4,215.
After the men who held up the
Stroud National Bank they pro-
ceeded to the First National
Bank. The alarm was given and
men started after the robbers.
Paul Curry, a 19 year old groc-
ery clerk, who worked in a store
two squares from the First Nat-
ional Bank ran out with his rifle
and his first shot struck Henry
Starr in the leg near the hip,
breaking the bone and he fell
his second shot struck Lewis Es-
tes in the neck and ranged down
ward and broke the shoulder
blade. The two wounded bandits
are in the county jail at Chandler
The other five made their escape,
Starr, after admitting his iden-
tity, refused to disclose the names
of the five escaped. It is thought
however, they will be caught.
Starr is perhaps the most noted
bandit and outlaw in the history
of the state. He began over 20
years ago as an outlaw. In the
early days of government con-
trol in the Indian territory he
killed Deputy U. S. Marshall Flo-
yd Wilson when the marshall at-
tempted 10 arrest him for intro
ducing liquor, for WHIch crime
Starr was tried in U. S. Court
and given a life sentence, served
lour years when Roosevelt par-
doned him. After his release he
robbed a bank at Amity, Col, for
which he was caught and convict
ed and given 15 years in the pen j
itentiary, after serving 2 years, j
he was parolled. Secret service
men thought Starr was at the
hend of the many bank robberies
•which have occured recently in
this state, and Gov. Williams had
offered a $1,000 reward for him.
