Hagerstown: The Weekly Globe, 1894. First Edition. Soft cover. Good. 1st printing. Folio news folded to 17" x 24". Dated Hagerstown April 26, 1894. The article, which takes up 8" of column space in the middle of the front page, and is datelined at Guthrie, O. T. on April 21, continues in 3rd & 4th headlines: "SOME OF THE BANDITS ESCAPE: It Is Said That Three of the Band Were Left Behind Fatally Wounded, and That Two of the Marshal's (sic) Posse Were Killed and Three Wounded." This is surely a reference to the gun battle at Ingalls which took place the previous fall, Sept. 1, 1893, in which three lawmen were killed. In this article the fight took place near Ingalls at the house of Bruce Miller and lasted all day long with "volley after volley" being exchanged. Reviewing Oklahoma outlaw and lawman historian Glenn Shirley's books, we see reference to a battle of this nature at this time, and no reference to Miller. Nevertheless, a very scarce paper and perhaps an anomaly for historians to study. Good… Read More
