Chip on lip, some scratches, bubbles. Please inspect. This grand hotel and popular gambling establishment was robbed by Pug Ryan and his gang in August 1898. They were tracked to Kokomo where a shoot-out with lawmen ended in two gang members and two lawmen dead and Ryan escaped. He was captured in Seattle four years later.
