This newspaper contains an inside page report on the RUSSELLVILE BANK ROBBERY (Russellville, KENTUCKY) by the infamous wild west James-Younger outlaw Gang. This was one of their first robberies and the actual names of the bandits was not known at this point in time.

The James-Younger Gang was a notable 19th-century gang of American outlaws that included Jesse James.

The gang was centered in the state of Missouri. Membership fluctuated from robbery to robbery, as the outlaws\' raids were usually separated by many months. At various times, it included the Younger Brothers (Cole, Jim, John, and Bob), the James Brothers (the notorious Jesse James and his brother Frank), Clell Miller, Arthur McCoy, Charlie Pitts, John Jarrette (who was married to Cole\'s sister Josie), Bill Chadwell (alias Bill Stiles), and Matthew \"Ace\" Nelson.Starting in 1879, after the demise of the James-Younger Gang, the James brothers committed further crimes with Clell Miller\'s brother Ed, the Ford brothers (Robert and Charles), Bill Ryan, Dick Liddil, and the Hite Brothers Wood and Clarence.

The James-Younger Gang had its origins in a group of Confederate bushwhackers who fought in the bitter partisan conflict that wracked the divided state of Missouri during the American Civil War. This group\'s postwar crimes began in 1866, though it did not truly become the \"James-Younger Gang\" until 1868 at the earliest, when the authorities first named Cole Younger and both the James brothers as suspects in the robbery of the Nimrod Long bank in Russellville, Kentucky.

A gang made up of the former Confederate guerrillas Cole Younger, George Shepard, and Oliver Shepard, along with Confederate veterans John Jarrett and Arthur McCoy, robbed the Nimrod Long Bank or the Southern Deposit Bank in Russellville on March 20, 1868. The brothers Frank and Jesse James, who later led their own gang,participated in peripheral roles. Today a Russellville bank on the city square has a large mural depicting the robbery. A reenactment of the robbery (called a \"play on horseback\") is performed annually during the city\'s Tobacco and Heritage Festival.
