feature in the Dalton affair is promised
and a most unique one it is. Wi-L Dat
ton is contemplating suing the city for
damages, alleging as "a cause of action
that while the bodies OF the dead ban
dts were in charge of the city unau-
thorized persons were allowed TO rl-ts
the pockets and abstract money and
vaIuables, which have not been turned
over TO William or the family
VIII was interviewed in regard to the
matter and acknowledged that there
was "a strong probability of such an aa-
ton being begun claiming, however
that one of the ablest attorneys i'm the
state was backing and insigatinE the
suit on a contingent fee.
Who this attorney is he refuses to
state, out it is thought by the citizens
that Luther Perkins, the money loauer,
is really at the back of the affair, al
though the description does not fit him.
as he Is not allowed to practice law all
though ne is an attorney.
Win said that he knows one of the
citizens robbed the bodies of the 5000
which Emmett claims they had before
coming into COheyville- This IS in all
probability the sheerest nonsense, as
no one else seems to know anything
about it The chances are that it is
only a blur game, played in order TO
force those who took the articles from
the bandits pockets and are keeping
them as relics to return them
William is not very popular here as it
IS, and such q move as this and state
ments like he made yesterday morning
when he said. ''The boys were wrong
right when they shot the men who were
trying 20 kill them" are calculated to
make him less So
Emmett is still improving and win Un-

having what many people think an
easy time when it is considered that
three widows and one poor old mother

of the Dalton raid. William declares
that there viii be no danger of Emmet's
conviction and that there Will be plenty

wills actions and words and his bank
account are all interesting straWs to
watch when considering the question
of his being a silent partner in the late
firm of Dalton Brothers, bandits and
outlaws" whose business cards should
have borne the inscription: Train and

VIII is "a pretty smooth Individual

they had yvagcred in "a poker game.
In speaking of Ben, the elder brother,
VIII says: 'IIe is too chielzen-hearted
and easy. Why he was scared half to
death when he was here and kept beg

statement of Ben being frightened is
hard to believe for in addition TO his i'm
pressing one with belief in his GOODNESS
and grit his actions here were quiet and
gentIeuauly and he was well treated by
every one. All the citizens believe in
his honesty aud credit him with being
