The Dalton gang decided to rob two banks in Coffeyville, KS, simultaneously. They hit them both on Oct. 5, 1892, but the results weren't what they expected--in a shootout with lawmen and townspeople, four of the gang and four citizens were killed and Emmett, the only surviving gang member, was grievously wounded and captured; his injuries were so serious--in addition to several bullet wounds there were almost two dozen pieces of buckshot in his back from where he had been hit by a shotgun--that he wasn't expected to live, but he recovered. He was eventually tried, convicted and sentenced to prison, where he served 14 years before being paroled. The robbery netted a total of $21.98.
