November 18, 1919. Bill Carlisle. He's everywhere.

The newspapers in southern Wyoming were now fully on the story, if not very accurately, about escaped train robber Bill Carlyle.

In reality, he wasn't surrounded.

He was wounded, however, as he tried to rob a train on this day but couldn't bring himself to rob the passengers, soldiers returning from World War One.  In the course of that, a young man pointed a pistol at him and he knocked it away.  It discharged in the process and wounded his hand.

Elsewhere, the Prince of Wales was back in uniform and touring the United States.  Today he was in New York City.

Sunday, April 29, 1900. Robbing the Tipton train.

Harvey “Kid Curry” Logan, Ben “The Tall Texan” Kilpatrick and William Cruzan, all of The Wild Bunch, robbed the Union Pacific near Tipton, Wyoming.

This is not the more famous robbery that happened that same year in August.
