Last Stagecoach Hold-Up 2D10

Here, about midnight, Oct. 15, 1882, "Bug" Hunt and "the two Edward boys," held up the Cookeville-Nashville stagecoach driven by John Rayburn, robbed mail and passengers, but missed the registered pouch and quantity of money on a passenger. Hunt was later caught and went to prison; the others escaped.
