Worthy of Their Relatives.
The Daltons were second cousins of the
James boys and nephews of the famous
Youngers who are now serving life SEN
fences in the Minnesota penitentiary. 1t is
said they acquired the desire to become
train robbers by reading the accounts of
the daring deeds of their relatives. They
began their career of outlawry about two
wears ago and nearly every train robbery
committed in the southwest si.ice that time
has been attributed to them. 1t is said
the proceeds of their robberies amount to
$20O,0O0.
