Historic Dodge City police ledger nears return from Ohio seizure
A federal judge cleared Dodge City of all claimants except the city in a forfeiture case over a long missing 1878 to 1882 police docket book tied to Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. FBI officials value the ledger at about 100000 dollars and say it resurfaced in Ohio a decade ago after passing through private hands.
