Jennie Homan: Train Robbery

 Jennie Homan was born about 1873. That is all the genealogical information I was able to find. 

She was on a train from Glendive, MT to Mandan, N.D. held up the 1st class passengers in the lunch car, with a revolver in March of 1899. Dr. attacked he to get the gun away which he succeeded in doing but she got a shot off which grazed his leg.

She will be sent to an insane asylum. Why? Can't a woman be a train robber? She was 25 years old.
