July 3 -- On this day in Montana
history in 1901 Kid Curry, whose real name was Harvey Logan and was one of the
Hole in the Wall Gang, held up the Great Northern train near Malta. As in the
famous movie “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” Logan had trouble blowing up
the safe, and had to increase the dynamite he used in three different tries
before blowing the money car up. But he got away with more than $100,000 -- a
lot of money in those days.
