Black Bart was the name assumed by Charles E. Boles. Clad in a linen duster, with a flour sack over his head, he held up 28 stages, never shot anyone. At each holdup, he would leave a suitable stanza of not badly turned verse. Once he signed himself "The PO8" Before his final capture, he reached a reward value of $18,000 "dead or alive." When he got out of jail, Wells Fargo paid him $125 a month not to rob them any more...
