Last Train to Frisco

General Summary

TRAIN RIDE LEAVES FOUR DEAD
Aug. 6, 1894
Reporting by Alta Larsen

Passengers aboard the Overland Limited's weekend journey from Chicago to San Francisco were shocked by a series of murders occurring aboard their train. Count Andrei Kacynski, a Polish aristocrat traveling through America, killed brothers Michael and Franklin Benson in a violent disagreement regarding the cross-country transport of several valuable items. A brave cowboy by the name of Dennis Pike stopped the Count's rampage in a shootout, though he succumbed to wounds received in the engagement not long after. 
 Alexander Stratton, a British doctor aboard the Overland Limited, said that the Count's victims died of 'exsanguination performed with surgical precision'. Two newlyweds, a Rev. Silas Harding and Bessie McIntosh, vowed to name their firstborn child after Mr. Pike after being saved thanks to his heroic actions.
