In Nome during the Alaska Gold Rush, Scurvy Bill, Two Tooth Mike and Half-Kid, stole $40,000 in gold from the Canadian Bank of Commerce. (That’s about $1.5 million today.)
A step ahead of a posse, the trio hid out in the attic of Wilson Mizner, a loveable scoundrel in Nome. Mizner was also a Deputy United States Marshal. Mizner then led the posse to search for the men who were hiding in his attic.
The men were never found. (No surprise there.)
Neither was the gold. (Also, no surprise.)
And Mizner left Nome for Hollywood.
