George Cubine was one of four Coffeyville, Kansas residents who died defending their town from the Dalton Gang. On October 5, 1892, the Dalton Gang rode into Coffeyville and attempted to rob two banks at the same time. The outlaws were delayed inside the banks and the townsfolk recognized them and prepared themselves to defend their town. During the gunfight that ensued four townspeople were killed, George Cubine, Charles Brown, Lucius Baldwin, and Charles Connelly. The Dalton Gang faired no better, their leader Robert "Bob" Dalton, his brother Grat Dalton, and gang members Bill Power and Dick Broadwell were also killed. Emmett Dalton was wounded and arrested. This failed attempt signaled the end of the Dalton Gang.
