Gus in the west, was wiped off the face
of the earth here yesterday, but in the
battle which resulted in their exter-
mination, three good citizens were
killed and two fatally wounded. The
desperadoes who had grown bolder as
shey thought they were above all law
and that the officers of the county were
Powerless against them, had attempted
to raid the banks of this, their old
home, when they met the fate which
they SO we'll merited. bat which they
had heretofore escaped. Had they con-
fined their efforts to train robbery they
might now be alive, but the imitation
of the James boys proved their death,
1t was their first bank robbery. Six
OF them came to town together
mounted, about $50 o'clock, and leaving
their horses in an alley, walked rapidly
across the square and four entered
Eondon's and two the First national.
At Condon's banlf the desperadoes were
told by Cashier Ball that the time lock
would not be open until 10 o'clock; 80
holding their Winchester's on Ball and
Teller Charles Carpenter, they said
they woiild wait, taking meanwhile all
the money in the drawer. Bob and

The outlaws then returned the fire,
killing Cublne.
The robbers Iii Condon's bank shot
out of the window, hitting Ayres and
Brown Both robbers rafi back
through the bank when they were met
by Baldwin and fatally wounded him.
The citizens being thoroughly
aroused by this time, were hot and
heavy after them and after fight in
which City Marshal Connolly was
killed, succeeded in killing the four
| desperadoes named and nortally
wounded Emmett, who lies in room
here. He will die before morning, 1t
not in one way, then another.
Jim Spars, livery stable keeper,

outlaws in as many seconds This Gre

were ena bled to get close enough to kill

The two remaining robbers dropped
their plumber and mounted their horses,
but posse was quickly in pursuit and
one more of the band fell from his
horse mortally wounded about two
miles from town.
The sixth and last was being pursued
