Meeker Bank Robbery Ended in Quick Kill Zone
Three horsemen led by Jim Shirley robbed Hugus & Company in Meeker Colorado on October 13 1898. After shooting a clerk and taking cash the trio tried a staged escape but enemies and hostages halted them. The Kid died in a gunfight, George Law was wounded later, and Shirley fled with two others.
