Of excited people from all parts Of this

eagerly discussingsthe attempted bank
robberies of yesterday, with their attend
ant tragic results.
At the city jail an awning has been i'm
provIsed, under which lie the four dead
bandits in collins provided by the county,
with q guard TO seo that they are not dis
turbed Since morning procession OF
sightseers which seems 20 be never ending
has viewed the dead outlaws. The des-
peradces, cold in death, their faces IN
covered seem TO possess an attraction for
tho curious which is almost without paral-
lei. Among the thousands who have
viewed the bodies are many who have
known the Daltons for years, and while
their crimes deserve to place them beyond
the pale of sympathy here. there are to be
found people who can scarce repress a sigh
of regret for the fate Of the dead men.
TIE WOUNDED EMMETT.
The stairway leading to the room where
Emmett Dalton lies is at all times sur
rounded by crowd of men and women
who do their utmost 10 persuade the guard
20 let them pass up TO the presence OF the
wounded man. All sorts of reasons are
advanced By these people for their re-
quests. but, without exception, they are
not complied with. Through the courtesy
of Sheriff Callahan a star reporter was al
lowed TO enter the room. Emmett was
weak from loss OF blood and talked little.

Tulsa and III the course of their talk they
asked me how much money had. l re;

then told me of their plan TO rob both the
banks Of Coiieyville in one day.
TO BEAT JESSE JAMES.
Bob said he wanted 10 lower Jesse

not TO try it, but did not succeed, rs he
had n grudge against the town and wanted
revenge for what he had heard the people

take the First National and the other three
bows Congdons bank. Bob thought he

others, and knowing the First National TO
be the hardest TO rob we selected that and
assigned Congdon's to the others"
EMMETT SHEDS TEARS.
Emmett stated that he was an own
cousin of the Younger brothers, and until
he knew that the other boys were dead he
refused to say anything, but when their

latter men are those by which they were
known in this section, but they are not
their real names. These are withheld from
the public to- day for good reasons, but
their names are known.
THE DEAD BANDITS BURIED.
The dead bandits were buried here this
afternoon in the city cemetery IN q lot
owned by the Dalton family. The bodies
were carried TO the grave in transfer
wagons without a single mourner or sym-
pathiZing friend to assist IN the last rites.
The mother of the Daltons was tele-
graphed 10 YESTERDAY. and this morning q
message was received from Ben, tue oldest
of the family, that he would come on here.
Ben has never been with the boys IN the
raids and is q farmer. living with MS
mother at present, near Kinghsher, Oka.
EMMErT's THREE WOUNDS.
Emmett is wounded in the right hip and
right arm bv Winchester bullets, and In
his back are twelve buckshot. the last
being the shot which knocked him of his
horse. He had reached his horse and
mounted with the bag of money from the
First National Bank on his arm. when,
seeing Bob fall. he turned back TO assist
him, and it was then that he received the
fire that brought him down.
THE MONEY TAKEN.
The money secured from the First Ma
tional amounted TO S20.2i0, and that from
Congdons TO $4,000. The amount turned
over to the banks somewhat exceeds this
amount and serves to verify the state
ment made by Emmett that they had 5000
when they came TO town. II is now said
that ONLY five men took part in the rob
berry. and if this be true the entire gang
was eXterminated.
PROTEST AGAINST EsNiETT's REMOVAL.
Sheriff Callahan wants to take Emmett
Dalton to Independence, but there Is a
vigorous protest against il, and 1t Will

termined that he shall not be taken away

Marshal Connolly and George Cubine we've
held this afternoon. The remains OF Con-
nelly will be buried at Independence, Kan.
THE WOUNDED CITIZENS.
Cashier Ayres's wound Is not so serious
as was at first supposed, and unless blood
poisoning sets in he will soon recover.
Charles Gump was another citizen who
was wounded by the gang, receiving shot
in his left wrist, which also drove his gun
against his breast. hurting him badly. All
the wounded men are getting along nicely.

Although there is some quiet talk OF
finishing Emmett Dalton, 1t has taken no
decided form aud the result cannot be
foretold.
