Fiendish train robbery foiled by a lonely girl in Wyoming
A desolate Wyoming railway station tale recounts a 30 year old woman recalling her youth when seven masked robbers tried to force her to signal No. 4. She used a telegraph trick to warn the dispatcher and called in a posse that captured the band aboard a fast rescue train. The robbers were jailed, and the survivor later testified in court. The heroine says she married the railroad superintendent as payback.
