Talk:Elmer McCurdy

Cause of Death?

The bio box says .32-20, but the main section specifically says NOT a .32-20. Is there debate on this, or did someone not notice and that's why there's a discrepancy? Fustigate314159 (talk) 20:57, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

The gun is on display at The “ Oklahoma Territorial Meuseum and Carnegie Library of Oklahoma” it was a 9mm German Luger, still on display and verified by the bullet left to allow gas escape. The 1924 penny found in the mummy’s mouth was owned by Charles Long, a Dallas Casino & Nightclub owner, who bought it for display in the building known as “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, moved to Dallas and used as a nightclub on Lemmon Ave. LBache (talk) 23:52, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Indian Territory Posse of Oklahoma Westerns?

His body was recovered by a representative of the “Indian Territory Posse of Oklahoma Westerns”. That’s a colorful name for an organization. I wish there was some information available as to what exactly that is and why they’d be an appropriate group to which to release the body. Czyzczyz (talk) 17:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
