EDUCATION & OCCUPATION:
1894: In a chapter discussing Chris Evans and the other bandits of the era the authors wrote: "On January 11, 1894, while Evans and Morrell were at large, a holdup took place at Fowler. At the town train station, agent George A. LEON was robbed by a man masked in a red bandana. Pat Lahey and H. A. Milligan, also inside the station, were robbed along with Howard A. Harris and A. A. Vincent. The latter pair had spied the goings on from the outside and had attempted to report them, but the bandit snared the men before they could slip away. He then identified himself as Ed Morrell, and herded his victims across the street to the Kutner-Goldstein store. There Constable Ochs spotted the robber and engaged him in a gun battle---only to wound Lahey and Mulligan, and get shot in the hip himself. During the fracas, the bandit got away.
