The other members of the gang escaped
and the stolen money was found inside
the shirt bosom Of Fred Mccarthy. The
next heard of them was In August Of the
present year, when they raited the bank
of Montpelier, Ida, and secured 81, 165
without any fatalities.
The last attempt which resulted in their
destruction, occurred on the morning Of
Oct 10, when they made a raid on the
bank at Meeker, Colo, a town made IA
nous in history by the Thornburg Indian
massacre OF 1879. Here, as at Delta, the
people on the outside were given the alarm
by the accidental discharge Of a revolver,
pnd before the bandits could secure the
money and escape the building was sur
rounded by small army of armed citi
zens. One OF the robbers realizing they
were cornered, raised his rifle and fired
at State Game Warden w. H. Clark, the
ball passing through his right breast,
causing fatal wound. The posse on the
outside returned the fire through the glass
front of the structure, and for few min
utes q battle ensued. The outlaws then
made a dash for their horses, but fell not

let's Rife balls had plowed through their
chests and lungs, and any one of the dozen
shots would have caused instant death.
One of tho men lived In terrible agony
for over two hours, and just before he ex-
pired he said his name was George Harris,
and that his dead companions were Will
liam Smith and Charles Jones, the latter
being the leader. 1t was subsequently,
proved that this statement was untrue,
and that the leader was none other than
the notorious Tom Mccarthy, that Harris
real name was George Mccarthy, and the
other dead robber Is believed to have been
James 9. Dunham, fugitive from San
Jose, CAL, who murdered his father in-law
and five other members of the family, and
for whose arrest u reward of sll, 900 was
offered. However this may be, 1t is certain
that the last of the McCarthys, the most
noted bank robbers that ever infested the
west, have died with their boots on. Den.
