Western Chase of Train Robbers Told by Penna Man
A Chicago Journal correspondent recounts M. F. Leech, a Pennsylvania native turned Ogalalla innkeeper, following Collins and Berry who robbed a Union Pacific train. He trails the gang 200 miles across Nebraska, witnesses their camp, learns of a $60,000 gold haul, and remarks on pursuing another robber while advising travelers to visit Ogalalla to cross the Platte.
