Bandit Robs 15 in Tonopah Train Holdup and Shootout
A lone bandit robs 15 men at a Desert Club and robs them of cash and valuables, then flees toward Mina with a posse in pursuit. He is shot in the arm by Reno messenger L. Jackson and later holds up a train before surrender attempts end in a gunfight. The suspect is found with stolen money. Also noted is the death of Jean W. Thomas McDermott, longtime Eureka County resident, from Brights disease at home near Fort Halleck.
