Robbing the First National Bank in Northfield, Minnesota, wasn’t the best career move The Boys ever made. The Boys included Frank and Jesse James, who made it out of Minnesota. Their colleagues didn’t fare so well. Bill Stiles (or Bill Chadwell, if you prefer) and Clell Miller got shot down on the streets on that September afternoon in 1876. Two weeks later, Cole, Jim and Bob Younger and Charlie Pitts got shot to pieces at Hanska Slough near Madelia. The Youngers survived; Pitts didn’t.
