Charles Beeler, who stole $50,000 from Wells Fargo in 1899, served five years and then worked as a railroad fireman. Detectives shadowed him for years as the missing funds remained a mystery, with the Wells Fargo company later abandoning hope of recovery.
A former express robber, released from prison six years ago, is now a locomotive engineer on the Trinity & Brazos Valley line with the St. Louis Brownsville & Mexico railroad following him.

Paris watchers note the Camelots du Roi, an Orleanist offshoot, raid ministers and riot in royalist demonstrations.
