Starr gang planned Cedarvale bank raid but fled
Topeka May 19. Word says the Starr gang, already unseen after Caney bank robbery, planned to raid Cedarvale banks with eight desperados armed with Winchesters and revolvers. The villagers hid in timber, couriers warned the town, and the bandits rode into Indian Territory four miles away before any attack. A 20 man guard now blocks Cedarvale roads as banks reinforce with six armed tellers.
