al bank. Three men went up the
street to the Stroud State bank, a
| block east, and entered. Three men
entered the First National bank, while
one man watched the horses. AS the
strangers entered the banks stimuli
taneously, the alarm was given.
Before any concerted move was
made for resistance, the three stran-
gers left the side door of the state
bank, and going around by the alley,
came down to the national bank. The
alarm of bank robbing was given. The
robbers, holding the bank officials as
hostages. began shooting up and down
the streets to clear away opposition.
The three men with arms and the
bank officials slowly left the national
bank and joined the other party just
outside and all moved quickly, but
without confusion, toward the horses.
The officials were released and the
men began to mount.

Despite the warning shots fired citi-
zens began to collect, but had no lead

the street from the bank Young Cur

fell.
The others were mounting and rid
ing off. The fallen man reached for
revolver but Curry ran out from
behind the building and shouted,
Drop that gun or I'll kill you" The
wounded man looked around and toss
ed the. gun aside. Young Curry then
fired at a robber who was having diff
liculty in mounting a nervous horse.
The robber was pulling at the reins
and walking toward his fallen leader
Curry fired and the robber staggered.
With great effort hs mounted as cit
liens approached, and his partners
rode off For a mile and a half he
stuck to his horse and brought up the
rear of the fleeing band. Then he fell
unconscious, to the road. The remain
ing five rode rapidly to the southeast
and disappeared in the black jacks.
AS they disappeared, the men who
were recovering from panic, hurried
to the bandit in the street. 81 am Hen

jeered him. but he repeated that he
was Henry Starr, the man for whose
capture a reward of $1,000 had been
offered by the governor.
$1,000 Found on Starr
A hurried search of his clothing re-
vealed a package of currency amount
ing to $1,000. That and his guns were
taken and men picked him up to carry
him to a physicians office. Look

shouted. The helpers dropped their

alarm.
When Starr had been examined and
his wound was dressed, the other
wounded bank robber was brought in
by men who had attempted to follow
the band. He was suffering from a
bullet wound through his neck. He
stated that his name was Louis Estes.
At first he refused to answer ques-

tions, but Starr told him he had bet
ter tell where his parents lived SO
that they could be notified.
In gratefulness to DR.. Everetts, who
had dressed his wound, Starr gave
him his horse, the famous black horse,
now old and somewhat stiff, but still
good, that he had ridden in so many
raids.

wheeled his horse and rode back to
ward Wilson. Wilson fired again, but
missed and riding close, Starr killed
him with a revolver
He fled then to the protection OF
the hills. Trains were held up
Horses were stolen and banks were
robbed. Starr was held responsible for
part in many of the crimes.
One day he was caught. He was
tried and convicted in the federal
court at Fort Smith, Ark, to serve a
life term in the federal penitentiary
at Columbus, Ohio. He served four
years and was pardoned by President
Roosevelt through the efforts of John
Abernathy and Zach Mulhall.
For several years he was free to
come and go as he liked. Then the
Jank at Amity Colo, was robbed and
he was charged with the crime. He
was captured and convicted to serve
10 years in the Colorado penltentlary
at Canyon City. There he served two
years. Always he has been known in
prison as model prisoner. In the
Canyon City penitentiary he was made
a trusty and given opportunity to meet
many visitors. After serving two years
there he was paroled. 1t was under
stood that he was going to Los An
geles to take part in the production of
moving pictures.
Soon after his release he came to
Oklahoma City. A number of To-
cal police officers met him here For
time he lived within the law and
then the bright lights lured him and
he grew restless.

the money on counters and in vaults.
