1t was Q o'clock when the gang rode
into town, in two squads OF three each,
passing through unfroquented streets
and deserted alleys to the alley in the
rear of the First National Bank. They
quickly tied their horses, and without
losing a moments time proceeded to
the attack upon the bank.
Robert Dalton, the notorious leader
OF the gang, and Emmett, his brother
went to the First National bank, the
other four under the leadership OF Texas
jack" or John Moore, going to the pri-
vate bank of G. NJ. Congdon & Co.
In the meantime the alarm had already
been given. The Dalton boys were
born and bred in the vicinity, and were
we'll known to nearly every man, woman
and child. Almost before the bandits
had entered the bank Marshal Connolly
was collecting a posse. He ran first 10
the livery stable of jim Spears, dead
ehot with Winchester and a valuable
man in any fight. Then he summoned
George Cubine, merchant; Charles
Brown, q shoemaker; John Cox express
agent, and other citizens who could be
conveniently reached stationing them
about the square, which 10th Of the
banks faced.
Robbers Go Through the Banks
While the marshal was collecting his
forces tho bandits, all ignorant OF the
trap that was being laid for them, were
proceeding deliberately with their work
of robbing the banks. Texas Jacks s"
band had entered Congdon's bank, and
with their Winchesters leveled at
Cashier Ball and Teller Carpenter had
ordered them to throw up their hands.
Then Texas Jack" searched them for
weapons while the other three desper-
ADDE'S kept them covered with their
rifles. Finding them to be unarmed
Cashier Ball was ordered 10 open the
safe. The cashier explained that the
safes door was controlled by a time
lock and that 1t could not by any means
short OF dynamite be opened before its
time was up, which would be 10 o'clock,
or in about twenty minutes. We'll
wait" said the leader, and he sat down
at the cashiers desk.
Bob and Emmett Dalton in the mean
while were having better luck at the
First National bank. When they enter
ed the bank they found within Cashier
Ayers, his son, Albert Ayers, and
Teller w. ii. Shepherd. None of
them were armed, and with
leyeled revolvers the brother bandits
easily inundated them. Albert Ayers
and Teller Shepherd were kept under
the muzzles OF Emmett Dalton's Ievol-
vers while Bob Dalton forced Cashier
Ayers to strip the safe vault and cash
drawers OF all the money contained in
them and place it in sack which had
been brought along for that purpose.
Bob Dnlton Dies i'm His Boots.
Fearing TO leave them behind, lest
they should give the alarm before the
bandits should be able 10 mount their
horses and escape, the desperadoes
marched the officers OF the bank out of
the door with the in ention OF keeping
them under guard while they made their
escape. The party made its appearance
at the door OF the bank just as Livery
man Spears and his companions OF the
Marshal S posse took their positions in
the square. When the Dalton brothers
saw the armed men in the square they
appreciated their peril on the in
slant, and leaving the bank Of
hcers OH the steps of the bank
building, ran for their horses. As
soon as they reached the sidewalk
| Spears rifle quickly came TO position.
An instant later It spoke and Bob Dali
ton, the notorious leader of the notori-
Gus gang, fell in his tracks, dead. There
was not culver OF a muscle after he
| fell. The bullet had struck him in the
right temple and ploughed through his
brain and passed out lust above the
