Ticket seller, Ben Wallace was robbed of his cash box September 26, 1872 by three mounted men. Following the robbery, a small girl was shot in the leg. It is believed by Mr. Wallace in the excitement of the moment, not the robbers shot the girl while trying to recover the monies.
The story exists that the girls family received a letter a short time later apologizing for the injury as no one was to be injured.
The reports concerning amount of monies liberated varies up to $ 10,000.00. Dr. Settle's book indicates the outlaws efforts netted $ 978.00.
