Stage Robbery
Stage Robbery.

The Red Jack Gang stopped a stage near Riverside, Arizona Territory, on August 10, 1883. The Wells Fargo man denied the coach had any gold. But a female passenger loudly disagreed with him.  The guard went for his gun, and that same female passenger pulled her own weapon and shot him dead.

The passenger turned out to be gang leader Red Jack Almer in disguise.  The gang got away with around $3,000 in gold and currency.  Red Jack was killed by a posse two months later.
