#35 Gunfights, Murder, Bank Robbery, and Frontier Justice.

The 1891-92 Diary of former sheriff, Frederick D. Schnebly, led us to discover a couple of significant stories we share in this episode--the murder of an innocent newly wed couple and an armed bank robbery in a coal town. You will also hear of "seduction trials", a vigilante mob, a jail break, and regular towns people armed and ready to administer "frontier justice".  All of this took place in the Wild West of Washington State-- not usually the first place a person thinks of in this regard.

We also share one of our favorite towns to visit--Roslyn, Washington, the site of the bank robbery and where the bank still exists as a candy shop.
