Zip Wyatt Still Alive After Coffeyville Raid Injury

Zip Wyatt alias Dick Yesger, famed bandit of the Dalton gang era, is reportedly alive with three Winchester bullets in his body after the Coffeyville raid. His father Will Wyatt, of Guthrie, is asked to be summoned. Wyatt, a longtime robber, led or aided numerous bank and store heists across territories. Eyewitnesses note thousands flocked to see him in jail, while officials estimate pursuit costs to the U.S. government around fifty thousand dollars. In separate incidents, Indians and a Negro robbed a Creek-area household and assaulted Benton Callahan and Sam Houston, prompting lynch mob talk. The Christian Gang robbed Calvia again as Marshal McAlister seeks Justice Department aid to capture or kill them.
