Attempt to Rob Lincoln Depot Ends in Shootout
An early morning attempt to rob the Lincoln depot led to a confrontation after a man named Campbell planned with McChristian to raid the depot safe and a Brisco detective unit surrounded the depot. McChristian, who aided officers, said Campbell planned further bank and train robberies with a Louisiana gang. About twenty shots were exchanged as the suspect fled, leaving behind his burglary gear. Officers remain on the lookout and McChristian offered to guide them if needed. The note about KC MRR picnic rates appears unrelated.
