  On the night of February 6, 1891, two masked men carrying 44-caliber revolvers held up a Southern Pacific Railroad passenger train near the town of Alila (present-day Earlimart, California). The outlaws had worn masks during the Alila robbery, concealing their identities. Some years later, Lit Dalton asserted that Bob and Emmett had told him many times that they had robbed the train.
