The Los Angeles Times from Los Angeles, California • 26

26 Part I- Dec. 11, 1976 Los Angeles Times MUMMY'S IDENTIFICATION Continued from First Page ed for holding up and robbing the Iron Mountain passenger train just south of Coffeyville, in March, 1911." (Coffeyville was the site in 1892 of a caper which has become western folklore. Five members of the Dalton gang sought to rob the town's two banks simultaneously. But sharp -shooting citizens surrounded them and during the ensuing gunfire four of the badmen were killed.) During the Oklahoma robbery, McCurdy and an undetermined number of companions, according to the Oklahoman, "forced the engineer to cut the locomotive and mail and express cars and run them up the tracks where they looted them at will." The take: $46 from a mail clerk and "considerable merchandise." McCurdy's mummy, if it is indeed that, was much traveled by the time it reached the "Laugh in the Dark" funhouse at Long Beach's Nu-Pike amusement park. It was discovered Tuesday that the prop was not a wax dummy after all when an arm fell off, exposing a human bone.
