Additional Details

In the wake of the James-Younger Gang's final botched bank robbery in Northfield, MN, a front-page advertisement offers $1000 each "for the capture of the persons engaged in such murder and attempted robbery." While the other gang members had already been captured or killed by this point, the James brothers were still at large.
