The Reno Gang empty Missouri county treasuries.
March 29, 1868. Pinkerton agents arrest four members of Indiana’s Reno Gang, far from home in Iowa. Over the past six weeks, the outlaws have burglarized four county treasuries for a total of more than $50,000. In fact, the work of Frank Reno, Miles Ogle, Albert Perkins and Mike Rogers has basically bankrupted two of the counties, including Harrison (photo of courthouse/treasury). Lawmen have been trying to nail the Reno outfit for more than three years, so this is quite the get. But the tables will turn in a few days.
