STEAL ON WHEELS

A Red Ford Model T is the getaway car for the attempted bank robbery in Salto, Uruguay on October 16, 1917. The Gang of Apaches was captured two days later on the Hervidero Ranch.

Lewis, Martínez and Atkins

The Apache Gang on the run...

"They have done everything possible to avoid detection, they have moved at night and holed up during the day. But the uncanny ability of the troops, who are literally beating the bushes as they follow their trail, seems almost mystical. Not one of this gang of three has paid a thought to the fact that each time they have eaten they have simply left the tin cans on the ground after their furtive meal.

Today, almost 100 years later, the appearance of a few tossed cans would barely grab the attention of a trekker in the countryside, unless it be to produce a curse against the carelessness of those who litter... But back in 1917 those cans stood out like sign posts - pointing the way for the ever encroaching officers who have determined to bring these sinvergüenzas to justice, dead or alive. "

SHOOTOUT AT THE DAYMAN RIVER

River rocks, Remington Carbines, a horse, a Mauser, a Colt Revolver.....

But concurrently the three outlaws are approaching that same south bank of the river in their urgency to distance themselves from the other vehicles and officers they know are bringing up the rear. Mongelos only has his sidearm to confront three men armed with carbines, revolvers and a Colt pistol, and he soon takes a bullet to his right leg - this fired by Atkins.”

The Bank of London and a Model T Ford

From the Book,

"The Last of the Apaches"

“At approximately 1:55 PM a red Model T Ford drove up across the street from the Bank of London, located at Sarandi Nº 43, between the streets of Rivera to the south and Artigas to the north. The Ford was parked pointing north, because then, as now, this was a one-way street. Three men crossed the street and entered the bank but left the motor running....”
