The Wild Bunch’s Big Haul

But what happened to the train robbery loot?

August 29, 1900. Kid Curry (photo) leads Bill Cruzan, Ben Kilpatrick and another unidentified man in holding up a train near Tipton, WY. It’s believed they got away with more than $50,000–and they escaped the posses that ranged the region, looking for them. It’s not clear what happened to all the loot, although it’s likely the outlaws spent it all. All three will eventually be arrested in relation to the holdup and spend hard time behind bars.
